Castrol Braycote 248
Corrosion Preventive Compound
Petrolatum, Hot or Cold Application, Soft Film
Braycote 248 is designed to protect machined, unpainted metal surfaces from the effects of indoor or shed
exposure for periods of six months or more. It is especially suitable for the preservation of anti-friction bearings in
storage or shipment.
Application :
Braycote 248 may be applied by dipping at temperatures from 160°F to 180°F (71°C to 82°C). It may be brushed
or swabbed on at room temperature when its consistency resembles a soft grease, or at elevated temperatures
when it resembles an oil. Hot spray applications can be used for protecting large pieces of equipment that are too
large in size for dipping applications. Optimal performance can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be
protected are clean, dry and free of rust, oil and mill scale.
