Car paintwork is exposed to constant exposure to dust, moisture, water, small stones and ultraviolet light. Over time, the varnish and paint become covered with microcracks, and the bottom with rust. In order to prevent this from happening, mankind has invented special protective polishes and lubricants. One of them is cannon fat. How to apply it and what kind of lubricant is it? You will learn the answers to all these questions in the course of our today's article.
Varieties
In total, several types of materials are used to preserve the exterior parts of a car body:
- Mastics.
- Film-forming inhibited petroleum formulations.
- Preservation oils.
- Greases.
The last type is just cannon fat. It is applied to the metal surface of the car with a small layer 5 mm thick. After treating the body with such a tool, the car becomes less vulnerable to water, moisture, s alt and other deposits,providing conservation properties.
Characteristic
Cannon fat is a preservative lubricant used to protect steel surfaces from corrosion. The composition of this product includes petroleum oil thickened with ceresin and petrolatum. In appearance, PVK grease is a yellowish-brown ointment. This substance also has a high density and stickiness.
Scope of application
As we said earlier, cannon fat has good anti-corrosion properties. Due to such abilities, it is used in almost all sectors of everyday life and economy, including for protecting the bottom and body of a car. It is applied to metal products of any size and shape.
According to its characteristics, cannon fat is an excellent preservative for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Of course, under the direct influence of the sun, precipitation and constant temperature changes, this substance loses its properties over time. However, compared to its counterparts, it is the most effective tool and is able to protect the metal even in the most severe and extreme conditions.
As practice shows, cannon fat protects the body from negative environmental influences for 3-10 years, depending on the intensity of vehicle operation. At the same time, it remains effective even at air temperatures from -50 to +50 degrees Celsius. And only in the rarest cases, cracks can form on it.
By the way, cannon fat is insoluble in water, so even with repeated washing it remains as effective as it was originally applied.
Cannon fat - how to apply?
Many motorists use the same application instructions. According to her, cannon fat must be heated to forty degrees Celsius in any convenient way (it is better to do this on an electric stove) and the metal surface must be treated with a paint brush. Everything seems simple, but here we must not forget about security measures.
Firstly, when applying this lubricant to the car body, do not allow the product to come into contact with the skin. To protect your hands as much as possible from the negative effects of this substance, you should wear a pair of rubber medical gloves. These are freely available in any pharmacy in the city. Secondly, this grease should be avoided in the direct sun in a container in order to prevent spontaneous combustion. Well, if the substance has fallen on the floor or on clothes, you need to carefully wipe the place with a dry cloth. Sand can be applied as needed.
Benefits of using Cannon Fat
Reviews of car owners note the high efficiency of using this type of lubricant. This substance has high adhesive properties, and is also not afraid of the effects of water. And since the bottom of the car and wheel arches are constantly exposed to the negative effects of dust and moisture, cannon fat is a great option to extend the life of the car body and protect it from corrosion. Also, this lubricant is goodkeeps on inclined surfaces, that is, it can be applied even to the most inaccessible places.
Such a substance almost never evaporates and does not oxidize, which guarantees reliable protection of the metal for many years of operation. And, of course, PVC lubricant is known for its conservation characteristics, which we talked about at the beginning of the article. Cannon lard treatment is a reliable way to keep your car rust free!
Thus, cannon fat reliably protects the metal parts of the car from corrosion and decay, has a long service life, and also prevents the formation of new rust, thereby significantly extending the service life of vehicle elements and components.
How long does this substance last?
It should be noted that PVC grease not only keeps well and protects metal for decades, but can also be stored in containers from 5 to 10 years, depending on the temperature regime and storage conditions. This allows you to use lard at almost any time and apply additional layers to the metal every year if necessary.
Cost
On average, the price of PVC lubricant is relatively low. For example, for a 39-kilogram drum of cannon fat, you will have to pay about 2.5 thousand rubles. True, at least a couple of truck tractors can be treated with this amount of lubricant, not to mention cars. There are also smaller containers - the cost for them varies from400 to 1.5 thousand rubles, depending on the manufacturer and the volume of the drum itself.
Conclusion
As you can see, cannon fat is an excellent preservative that can reliably protect body parts and the frame of your car from the negative effects of corrosion. Due to its properties, this lubricant keeps perfectly even in the most vulnerable places to water and moisture. Having treated the car with cannon fat once, you will forget about corrosion for at least the next 2-5 (or even 10) years.
So, we found out all the properties and features of such a substance as PVC lubricant, and knotted how a car is treated with cannon fat.
