SOCOPAC 25S
> SUPER PENETRATING, WATER DISPLACING CORROSION PREVENTIVE TEMPORARY PROTECTION
SOCOPAC 25S provides a thorough protection and water-repellent coat for materials, spare parts or assemblies, in the worst climatic conditions. The ultimate film forms a very efficient barrier against all the agents responsible for corrosion (water, oxygen, acids, basis and salts from industrial emissions, tropical atmospheres, etc...).
Its long lasting anti-corrosion power protects aluminium and alloys, steels, light alloys (titanium, magnesium), zinc and galvanized steel, copper and alloys and cadmium. It can be applied with no risk of attack to all painted surfaces, composite materials, plastics, rubbers, Plexiglas and polycarbonates (non crazing).
SOCOPAC 25S has been formulated to offer the highest safety for users as well as for the substrates to be protected; it does not contain any harmful solvents, toluene, xylene or chlorinated products.
- SOCOPAC 25S displaces water and humidity and, after drying, leaves a long lasting protective waterproof film which resists differences in temperature, heavy rain, sea air, tropical atmospheres or industrial corrosive atmospheres.
- The film surface is wax-like, which is especially interesting when the protection is to be applied on spare parts, which are frequently handled.
- However, thanks to its flexibility, the film absorbs slight impacts without damage or cracking.
- Because of its polarity and surfactant qualities, SOCOPAC 25S is bonded to the metal surface rather than the agents responsible for the corrosion.
- The cured film is formulated to resist outside for several years and above all to remain stable during this time. It is not subject to alteration by the air, or by exposure to sun or heat.

Technical Data Sheet
In aerospace, it may be used when the risks of corrosion by condensation or by exposure to sea or corrosive air require an efficient and controllable temporary protection: landing gear, closed compartments, cabin and toilet floors, bunkers, pipe work, cables, guide rails for containers, door and lock frames, etc...
- AIRBUS : CML 15-005 / IPS 09-08-001-05 / Type 1 Grade 2 (conform)
- EADS CASA : Z11502
- SOCOPAC 25S can be applied by spraying (classic or airless spray gun), by dipping or by brushing (the operator must check that the deposited film is homogeneous and of the correct thickness).
- SOCOPAC 25S can be applied on moist surfaces. With its water-repelling feature allows it to displace humidity. However, in the case of hard to reach surfaces or particularly rough or wet surfaces, it is advised to use WADIS 24, a product with a greater water repelling and penetrative effect as a ground coat.
- SOCOPAC 25S is compatible with products of type SOCOPAC and WADIS.
REMOVAL
Various methods can be used to remove the SOCOPAC 25S film depending on the equipment available and local conditions:
1) With cleaning solvents without rinsing with water, use HYSO 96 or DIESTONE DLS.
2) With cleaners followed by rinsing with water, use HYSOMUL MC. Apply product and after10 minutes, rinse with a jet of water, preferably hot (80°C / 176°F).
3) In a steam cleaning machine, increase the temperature to over 80°C (176°F); some HYSOMUL MC (10 to 20 %) may be added. It is also possible to add SYNCLAIR (A/C).
