Its synthetic, calcium-based foundation reduces dependence on petroleum-derived waxes, mitigating supply risk, while its broad compatibility allows one additive to support multiple performance tiers simply by adjusting the treat rate.

The performance of a rust preventive is only half the equation; its behaviour in the manufacturing process and its long-term viability are equally important. ALOX^® MT1000 provides a superior solution by addressing the limitations of traditional wax-based systems, offering a clear advantage in both performance and operational efficiency.

Here are the key benefits and how they directly address the challenges posed by traditional wax-based rust preventives:

Challenge of Traditional Wax-Based RPs	ALOX® MT1000 Solution	Key Benefit
High Energy and Handling Complexity	Semi-fluid at room temperature with a lower melting point, integrating quickly into blends	Lower processing times, reduced energy usage and lower maintenance costs on heating equipment
Limited Formulation Flexibility	Broad compatibility with high-flash, lower-VOC diluents and Group II/higher base stocks	Maintains flexibility and stability in modern, regulatory-compliant systems, simplifying product portfolios
Supply Risk from availability of Petroleum Waxes	Calcium-based, synthetic formulation reduces reliance on petroleum-derived waxes	Mitigates future supply risk and raw-material variability associated with changing refinery outputs
Corrosion Protection Performance	Achieves >100 hours in ASTM B117 and >45% improvement in outdoor exposure vs. current technologies	Ensures parts remain clean and rust-free during extended transit and storage in harsh environments
