Special Edition / Boeshield T9, a dry, non-sticky lubricant

The T9 also works for fishing equipment

Very useful on a boat, the T9 lubricates and protects all mechanical parts or fittings. This dry lubricant does not stick dirt or salt. Developed for aircraft, it will be an ideal companion during wintering to protect all its equipment from corrosion problems.

In the 1980s, aircraft manufacturer Boeing was looking for a corrosion protector and a waterproof lubricant. Not finding a suitable product, he developed Boeshield T9 internally, which is now marketed under Boeing license. Today it is used in many industries distributed in France by Seaview Progress.

T-9's unique solvent and wax formulation is designed to penetrate deep into the metal, displace moisture, prevent corrosion and leave a clean, waxy coating with high wear resistance.

How does it work?

T9 is made of 20% solvent and 80% active product. euros application it is liquid and remains so long enough to impregnate the metal and penetrate deeply into the assembled components. Once the solvent has evaporated (allow a minimum of 2 hours), the film remaining on the metal is completely waterproof. This film is dry so that dust or salt will not stick to it as with traditional grease.

Where to use it?

On a boat, the T9 allows to lubricate all mechanical parts. On a sailboat, we think of the mainsail track, the jib carriage, the sliders, but T9 will be just as well adapted to the hinge of a cupboard door. It is also recommended for windlass or winch gears.

Electrical insulator, the T9 protects the connections of the electronics. It prevents moisture from penetrating the contacts and causing the green of gray to appear. Against corrosion, it can also be sprayed on a stainless steel balcony.

How to apply it?

T9 is applied to a clean, non-greasy surface. It is therefore necessary to degrease the parts well before spraying the T9. Then once the spraying is done, you must wait at least 2 hours before using the parts (let it dry overnight is even better). Once the solvent has completely evaporated, you can remove the excess T9 with a clean cloth. All that remains is an invisible film that provides protection and lubrication.

And to remove T9 ? The easiest way is to repulverize on top of the T9euros. Indeed, the solvent will liquefy the old T9. You must then wipe with a rag all the product that disappears from the parts.
