Tectyl 506-WD is solvent cutback, wax base, thixotropic, dark amber, water displacing corrosion preventive compound. Tectyl 506-WD is recommended for long-term protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as an underbody coating of autos, trucks, trailers, etc. Tectyl 506-WD cures to a relatively firm, dark amber, resilient film. Tectyl 506-WD is the Water Displacing version of Tectyl 506.
Benefits and application considerations
- Superior Protection At the recommended DFT Tectyl 506-WD will protect against corrosion during storage, domestic and overseas transport.
- Inside and outside protection Tectyl 506-WD has excellent water displacement properties, which makes it suitable for inside and outside protection.
- Processing Tectyl 506-WD is easy to apply and easy to remove, when no longer needed.
- Economical With a DFT of only 50 microns, Tectyl 506-WD can protect a large surface with just little amount of the product.

Surface preparation
The maximum performance of Tectyl 506-WD can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be protected are clean, dry and free of rust, oil and mill scale and a substrate temperature of 10-35 °C at the time of product application.
Application
Tectyl 506-WD is formulated to be used as supplied. Due to its composition Tectyl 506-WD can be subject to postproduction viscosity changes and/or wax sedimentation. Always ensure homogeneous consistency by agitation before use. If the product thickens due to cold storage or loss of solvent during use, thinning with max. 1-2% of Tectyl 150 is possible to get the desired consistency. Incorrect thinning will affect film build, dry time and potentially product performance. Tectyl 506-WD can be applied by airless spray, low pressure air spray or brush. Details on application can be found in the application chart.
Removal
Tectyl 506-WD can in the wet phase be removed with Tectyl Biocleaner, Tectyl 150 or low-pressure steam. If dried and cured Tectyl 506-WD can be removed with Tectyl Biocleaner or Tectyl 150.
