3 Main Benefits of Penetrating Oil
Penetrating oil, or PEN, is an excellent option for getting into those hard-to-reach areas when your car has a drain plug problem. This can be frustrating for you and is time-consuming with limited options. Here are three main benefits of industrial penetrating oil.
- Protection against corrosion.
If left unprotected, metal surfaces can corrode. Corrosion is caused by elements in the atmosphere that cause oxidation to form on a metal surface. To prevent corrosion, your metal surface must be protected.
There are many ways to protect a metal surface against corrosion. One common way is through the use of penetrating oils.
- Stop rust from spreading.
When rust starts to develop on machinery, it needs to be addressed immediately. If rust is allowed to spread and fester, it can corrode the metal, creating pits in the rusted area. This can lead to an unsightly machine that doesn’t work correctly. Over time, this corrosion can cause irreparable damage.
- Cleaning dirt and grime from metal surfaces.
The most common use for penetrating oil is to clean metal surfaces. The oils used in penetrating compounds break up dirt, grime, and other build-up found on tools. Though these cleaners can be used on any metal surface, most people use them on devices because of their versatility and ability to reach into various tool types’ small cracks and crevices. Penetrating oils are typically safe for use on all metal surfaces and therefore are a great way to clean your entire toolbox without having to buy separate cleaners for each type of tool you own.
Conclusion
Penetrating oil is used to break down rust, and separators on your car are designed to lubricate and protect rusted parts. Hopefully, this blog has cleared any confusion or questions you had about the benefits of penetrating oil.
