OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Penetration and Lubrication

The Walter AF-PL (Anti-Friction Penetrating Lubricant) in the 20-liter pail (SKU: 53C567) is a staple chemical solution for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations. Designed to tackle the toughest seized mechanisms, AF-PL utilizes a specialized low-surface-tension formula that allows it to creep deep into microscopic crevices between rusted or frozen parts. Unlike generic penetrating oils that evaporate quickly, AF-PL leaves behind a high-quality lubricating film that continues to reduce friction and wear long after the initial application.

This product is engineered for versatility in industrial environments. It acts as a moisture displacer, making it highly effective for drying out wet electrical equipment, ignition systems, and motors to prevent short circuits. Its cleaning properties allow it to dissolve light rust, grease, and grime, preparing surfaces for further maintenance. Crucially for manufacturing and automotive sectors, the formula is silicone-free, ensuring it does not interfere with downstream painting or coating processes.

The 20-liter pail format is specifically packaged for high-volume users, such as fleet maintenance depots, heavy manufacturing plants, and large machine shops. It offers significant cost savings over aerosol cans and ensures a continuous supply for refillable sprayers (such as the Walter Air Force system). By integrating AF-PL into your preventive maintenance schedule, you extend the lifespan of chains, cables, conveyors, and moving parts while reducing downtime caused by seized hardware.

FAQ

AF-PL stands for Anti-Friction Penetrating Lubricant, highlighting its dual action of reducing friction and penetrating deep into seized parts.

Yes, Walter AF-PL is completely silicone-free, making it safe for use in paint shops and environments where painting or coating occurs.

Yes, AF-PL is an excellent moisture displacer and can be used to dry out wet electrical components, ignition systems, and connectors.

The 20L pail is designed to be used with a drum tap or pump to refill smaller spray bottles, trigger sprayers, or the Walter Air Force refillable compressed air sprayers.

Yes, unlike light penetrating oils that evaporate quickly, AF-PL leaves a lubricating film that provides temporary corrosion protection for indoor storage.

AF-PL is generally an industrial lubricant. For food processing areas requiring incidental food contact (NSF H1), you should check for Walter's specific food-grade lubricants, as standard AF-PL is typically for general industrial use.

It is effective in temperatures ranging from approximately -20°C to 150°C, making it suitable for most indoor and outdoor environments.
