Tectyl 506
TECTYL 506 is a solvent cutback corrosion
preventive compound. The dry film is firm, amber, and translucent. TECTYL
506 is excellent for protection of metallic surfaces against corrosion in
long-term indoor or outdoor exposure and during domestic and overseas
shipment.

Surface Preparation
The maximum performance of TECTYL 506
can be achieved only when the metal
surfaces to be protected are clean, dry and
free of rust, oil and mill scale. Daubert
Chemical Company recommends that the
metal substrate temperature be 50-95°F (10-
35°C) at the time of product application.
Storage
Store TECTYL506 at temperatures
between 50-95°F (10-35°C). Mild agitation is
recommended prior to use.
Application
TECTYL 506 is formulated to be used as
supplied. Ensure uniform consistency prior
to use. Continued stirring is generally not
required. If the product thickens due to cold
storage or loss of solvent during use, contact
Daubert Chemical Company. DO NOT THIN TECTYL 506. Incorrect thinning will affect
film build, dry time and product performance.
Daubert Chemical Company recommends
that the ambient and product temperature be
50 - 95°F (10 - 35°C) at time of application.
TECTYL 506 can be spray or dip applied.
DO NOT FREEZE TECTYL 506.
Caution
Adequate ventilation is required for cure and
to ensure against formation of a combustible liquid. THE PARTIALLY CURED FILM
SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO IGNITION
SOURCES SUCH AS FLARES, FLAMES,
SPARKS, EXCESSIVE HEAT, OR
TORCHES. Refer to Daubert’s Material
Safety Data Sheet for additional handling
and first aid information.
Removal
TECTYL506 can be removed with TECTYL HPS solvent borne thinner, vapor
degreasing, hot alkaline wash, or low
pressure steam. TECTYL 506 can be
removed from fabrics by normal dry cleaning
procedures. Avoid the use of chlorinated or
highly aromatic solvents when removing
from painted surfaces, as these solvents may
adversely affect paint.
