Applications in the Lawn & Garden Industry


Applicators & Transfer Pumps handling Liquid Fertilizer

 

Battery Terminals:

FLUID FILM is non-conductive, so clean around battery terminals, make connections, and then spray with FLUID FILM. The non-drying characteristics of FLUID FILM provide long term protection in this application. FLUID FILM also keeps battery hold downs from corroding. 

 

 

Bin Slides

 

 

Blades/Cutters

 

Chains

Most chains fail due to wear and corrosion wear inside the pin and bushing area. FLUID FILM, with its lanolin base, migrates and penetrates to the inside of the chain, preventing wear and providing extended lubrication with no evaporation. FLUID FILM also displaces trapped water, leaving a barrier of protection that contains sufficient body to resist fly off and water wash off. In dirty or dusty environments, FLUID FILM resists dirt buildup due to its slick, non-tacky consistency. FLUID FILM holds up under a wide degree of temperatures, resists high moisture and, because it won't freeze, prevents chain jam ups due to water frozen in chain links. FLUID FILM was documented as having extended locomotive drive chains in salt harvesting machinery by up to 300%.

Cables

 

Conveyers

 

Cultivators

 

Dethatchers, Verticutters and Seeders

Equipment that is put into use for short, intense periods require extra care to keep lubricated and corrosion free. Using FLUID FILM during prep, application and storage will keep all metals, chains, tines and blades in perfect operating condition for each piece of equipment.

Fertilizer Spreaders

For Fertilizer Spreaders, maintenance is a must. Hose out spreader after use to remove all seed and fertilizer, than apply a coat of FLUID FILM. FLUID FILM will not harm paint or plastic, and will provide complete corrosion control for all metals.

 

Golf Course Equipment

FLUID FILM protects maintenance equipment and golf carts on golf courses. Being non-conductive, FLUID FILM makes an excellent protectant for battery terminals. Make sure connections are tight before applying FLUID FILM. FLUID FILM is also an excellent undercoating which will protect carts and equipment from fertilizers, pesticides and grass clippings.

Hedge Trimmers & Clippers

FLUID FILM works great on trimmers & clippers. Just apply a light film and let the trimmer run for a few seconds to allow FLUID FILM to penetrate effectively. FLUID FILM will not burn greenery on cutting devices and will keep sap from sticking to blades.

Locks

Spray a small amount of FLUID FILM in lock. Will not freeze, making cold weather applications especially desirable, providing long-term lubrication.

 

Maintenance & Storage Facilities

Use FLUID FILM in maintenance & storage facilities to protect from corrosive elements such as fertilizers, pesticides and grass clippings.

 

Mowers

One area for equipment health that should be checked regularly is under the decks of mowers. When dirt and debris (lawn clippings, etc.) build-up and aren't removed they can quickly corrode the deck, shorten the life of the bearings in the spindles and also contribute to lawn disease. After a day of mowing, hose out the deck and apply a coat of FLUID FILM. FLUID FILM can be applied over a damp surface and will leave a non-drying film, cutting off all oxygen from the surface and creating a barrier of protection that will prevent all corrosion from occurring. Because of its non-drying characteristics, FLUID FILM also helps keep grass and debris from sticking, making clean-up a breeze.

Pickup Truck Beds

Spray before liner is installed.

 

Pickup Truck Tailgate

Hinges, plus spray inside to keep them from rusting out.

 

Pruning Sheers

 

Three Point Hitch Tractor Cables and Shift Levers:

Lubricates and keeps them from seizing.

 

Tools

Spray on tools directly and rub in with dry cloth, or spray on cloth and rub in. FLUID FILM leaves a thin film which will not come off on hands or clothes

 

Tractors:

Lubricates and protects anything that moves on the 3PT (pins, balls, toplink, sidelink, stabilizers, etc). Also, shift links, PTO shafts.

 

Trailer Balls & Hitches:

Keeps them lubricated and rust free.

 

Winterizing

Equipment not properly maintained or suitably stored during the cold-weather months can end up raising costs substantially by the time spring rolls around. Heavy equipment needed during winter months require extra attention. Proper maintenance during these periods can help reduce the stresses involved with the cold-weather season. Battery requirements are also greater during winter months while their output is less, so proper battery care is an important part of equipment maintenance. FLUID FILM will effectively stop any corrosion from occurring, allowing batteries to perform at optimum expenditure during this period. For equipment being stored indoors or out, a liberal dose of FLUID FILM will prevent any corrosion from occurring. For equipment stored near fertilizers, FLUID FILM protects all metals from atmospheric exposure.
