CRC 5-56 is a multi-purpose aerosol lubricant, penetrant and corrosion protector for repair and maintenance work. Its superior penetrating action loosens rusted parts and frees components bonded by corrosion, dirt or scale. The spray forms a thin, continuous and self-repairing lubricating film that promotes smooth movement and helps silence squeaks and squeals. It also displaces moisture from electrical systems and leads, helping with the starting of wet or flooded engines.
Supplied as a 175 g aerosol under item code 5028, CRC 5-56 is safe for all metals and alloys, along with most painted surfaces, coatings, plastics and rubbers. The silicone-free formulation supports preventative maintenance programs by lubricating moving components and providing ongoing protection against corrosion. It is suitable for workshops, garages, factories, building sites, offices, gardens, homes and automotive applications. The product carries NSF H2 registration number 134909 for use in applicable food-industry environments.
