ACF-50 - " the best metal corrosion blocking agent on the market "
Developed and manufactured in Canada by Lear Research , ACF-50 ( Anti-Corrosion Formula-50 ) is widely accepted as being one of , if not " THE best metal corrosion blocking agent on the market ". Widely adopted by powersports industry professionals ( including drag bike racers ) the world over , especially in North America , it is available as a corrosion block spray and as a corrosion block grease and was originally specified and manufactured for the extreme demands of the aerospace industry some 35 years ago . ACF-50 holds 35 + aerospace approvals from Cessna to Airbus and Boeing , and is approved for military aircraft and widely adopted in the marine industry . ACF-50 prevents / stops corrosion on all motorcycle metals and is a reliable waterproofing agent for electronics . " ACF-50 products are clean , contain NO wax , Teflon ( PTFE ), water or silicon and are non-toxic and non-inflammable . It is manufactured as a light viscose carrier for a proprietary package of additives that transform it into an astonishing creeping fluid and an outstanding dewatering fluid . " These properties mean that just the smallest amount will get into every crevice , every blemish of corrosion , and utterly remove the water . No water means no corrosion . Simple . And that ’ s just the start of it . ACF-50 stays in place for up to a year , actively spreading to keep corrosion at bay ". Originally designed to protect aircraft from existing and new corrosion , it is aviation approved - MIL-
SPEC 81309 types II and III - which means it is " approved for ferrous and non-ferrous metals , electrical systems and electronic components ". The U . S . Navy carried out tests using ACF-50 on the jets on its aircraft carriers . It found that ACF-50 so significantly reduced the corrosion it had previously experienced , that it is said to now use ACF-50 as its primary protectorant of choice . The science is simple enough , in that when applied , ACF-50 forms an ' active ' ultra-thin clear film that will kill any existing corrosion cells and will protect powersports vehicle ( and bicycle ) components and bodywork against new corrosion forming . On areas such as switches or under the tank and seat , one application can last up to 12 months . The ability to ' chemically neutralise road salt ' and for water to ' bead ' on contact and literally bounce off , makes it ideal for year-round , all-weather use . ACF-50 is " a superb service spray and also a lubricant and penetrant ( without loosening
structural attachments ) and works really well as an over-wintering and general storage protectant barrier ". ACF-50 is ideal for all motorcycles , from off-roaders to sportbikes , and from touring and commuting to classics , scooters and powersports vehicles such as ATV / UTV . It can be used anywhere around the motorcycle , except for the brakes . Safe on paintwork , most rubbers and excellent for bringing black plastic trim back to top condition , it can be used on the engine and exhaust , but don ' t be alarmed if it smokes on first start , as it will burn off downpipes , but still slow down the corrosion process . Oh , and if you are planning on a drag race on an aircraft carrier … you know what to use !
