Monolex® is a fast-acting, surfacewetting formula that works as a light lubricating oil as well as penetrating lubricant. The tough film created by Monolex is far more effective than ordinary oils. Its excellent penetrating ability helps it work its way through layers of rust, gum, resins, varnish and dirt, dissolving or washing them away and quickly loosening “frozen” components – even those that are hard to reach. Monolex also contains a water-displacing agent that drives out moisture, allowing it to retard corrosion, even in saltwater applications.
