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!
