Fluid FilmŪ AS (Aerosol) & NAS (Non-Aerosol Pump)
Product Data: #207
Effective January 2008
Fluid FilmŪ NAS when combined with propellant in a pressurized aerosol can is designated Fluid FilmŪ AS.
Fluid FilmŪ AS & NAS are penetrants and lubricants also used for corrosion prevention. They are non-toxic, long lasting, thixotropic liquids that have been used for over fifty (50) years in the highly corrosive marine environment of ships and offshore drilling rigs. More recently they have been introduced and successfully utilized in the aerospace, aircraft and automobile industries as well as for home maintenance. Facilities where they are used include the following: government facilities, commercial fishing concerns, gas companies, agriculture, salt plants, municipal plants, power plants, manufacturing plants and pulp and paper mills.
Fluid FilmŪ AS & NAS are formulated from specially processed wool-wax, highly refined petroleum oils and selected agents to provide corrosion control, penetration, metal wetting and water displacement. These long lasting products contain no solvents, will not dry out and will penetrate to the base of all metals, providing corrosion protection from both natural and industrial atmospheres. Heavily corroded and/or frozen parts such as nuts, bolts, shafts, etc. that would normally be damaged during maintenance, can be salvaged by applying Fluid FilmŪ AS & NAS.

Spray Nozzle Cleaning: Turn can upside down, point in a safe direction and spray until only propellant escapes. If spray button becomes clogged during use, pull it from the can and clean it with a fine wire or needle. Replace the button with a gentle twisting motion, keeping it pointed in a safe direction. Do not stick pins or other objects into nozzle tube.
