TRUEGARD 308 RUST PREVENTIVE is a premium solvent-based fluid engineered to deliver superior rust protection for metal surfaces. Upon application, it forms a thin, dry, waxy film that provides highly effective and long-lasting corrosion resistance once the solvent has evaporated.

Application Methods

This light-bodied fluid is versatile and can be applied by spray, dip, or brush, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and maintenance environments. TRUEGARD 308 is designed for ease of use and consistent coverage, ensuring optimal protection regardless of the application technique.

Protection Performance

TRUEGARD 308 delivers outstanding protection for both indoor and outdoor storage:

· Indoor Storage: Provides several years of reliable rust prevention for stored metal components.

· Outdoor Shed Storage: Offers up to one year of protection under covered outdoor conditions.

· Limited Unsheltered Outdoor Protection: Suitable for short-term exposure in unsheltered environments.

Exceptional Water Displacement

TRUEGARD 308 RUST PREVENTIVE features superior water displacing properties, ensuring the formation of a consistent, high-quality protective film. The product rapidly and completely removes water from metal surfaces, creating an unbroken barrier against corrosion. This capability is especially valuable when treating metal parts that have been machined using water-soluble or synthetic coolants, as it guarantees thorough coverage and lasting protection.

Typical Uses

· Protection of machined parts after coolant exposure

· Long-term storage of metal components

· Maintenance of equipment and tools in humid or corrosive environments

· Preventive treatment for metal surfaces prior to shipping or storage

Key Benefits

· Forms a thin, dry, waxy protective film

· Easy application by spray, dip, or brush

· Several years of indoor protection

· Up to one year of outdoor shed protection

· Exceptional water displacement for complete coverage

· Reliable performance on metal substrates after machining

Product Data Sheet

Safety Data Sheet

After application, the solvent carrier evaporates from the metal surface, depositing a thin, dry, waxy corrosion-resistant film. Because the finish dries rather than remaining wet or greasy, treated parts can be handled and moved into storage as soon as the solvent has fully evaporated.
Residual coolant or moisture left on machined parts can prevent a rust preventative from bonding uniformly, leaving gaps in the protective barrier. TRUEGARD 308's superior water-displacing properties rapidly and completely remove that moisture before the film forms, ensuring unbroken, full-coverage corrosion protection even on wet surfaces.
Protection duration varies significantly by environment: indoor storage yields several years of reliable rust prevention, covered outdoor shed storage provides up to one year, and unsheltered outdoor exposure is only suitable for short-term protection. Selecting the most sheltered storage condition available will maximize the product's service life.
All three methods are fully supported, and the light-bodied formula is specifically engineered to deliver consistent coverage regardless of which technique is used. This flexibility makes it practical for large-scale dip operations, broad spray application on assemblies, and targeted brush touch-ups equally well.
Yes, preventive treatment prior to shipping or storage is one of its listed typical uses. The dry, waxy film it forms guards against corrosion during transit, and its water displacement capability ensures proper film adhesion even on parts that are still wet from machining or handling.
