The film obtained forms a very efficient barrier against all theagents responsible for corrosion (water, oxygen, acids, bases andsalts from industrial emissions, tropical atmospheres, etc.).
SOCOPAC 50S has been formulated to offer the highest safety to theusers as well as to the pieces to be protected- it is absolutelyfree of harmful solvents, toluene, xylene or chlorinatedcompounds.

After drying SOCOPAC 50S leaves an impervious durable protectivefilm, resistant to temperature differentials, heavy rain, sea air,tropical atmospheres or corrosive industrial atmospheres.
This film is medium hard, but wax-like and dry to the touch.Thanks to its flexibility, it can absorb slight impacts withoutdamage or crazing. If the scratch is deeper, the capillary activityand polarity properties of the film towards the treated surfaceprevent the scratch from spreading. This facility of the protectioncalled «self-healing» allows handling of the pieces even after aprolonged storage time, without loss of the protective value of theSOCOPAC 50S film.
The dry film is intended to resist several years outside andabove all to remain stable during this period. It does not sufferair-damage, by exposure to sun or to heat- it is not subjected toany cross linking or polymerisation and can be therefore removedseveral years after application as easily as the first day.
Though it has a particularly pronounced hydrophobic quality,SOCOPAC 50S was not designed for the role of a specificallyhydrophobic compound. However its capillary properties allow it toprotect and repel water in an efficient way any material normallyexposed to open air. In cases of humid, enclosed conditions,materials and parts exposed to wide differences in temperature,before protection it is necessary to apply a water-repellentcompound such as WADIS 24, or SOCOPAC 25H where a total thicknessgreater than 50 microns is required, before the SOCOPAC 50Scoating.
