Tectyl™ 558-AMC
Version: TE037/02
Premium solvent based corrosion preventive compound
Tectyl 558-AMC is an amber colored, solvent cutback, slightly thixotropic wax base corrosion preventive compound with good water displacing properties.
Tectyl 558-AMC is primarily intended for spray application to enclosed boxes, seams, joints and other creviced locations of vehicles, susceptible to corrosion.
Tectyl 558-AMC is recommended as a primer coat for 2-layer systems. After a relatively short drying period Tectyl 558-AMC can be sprayed over with several solvent based Tectyl products.
Tectyl 558-AMC dries to a dark amber colored, translucent, waxy, semi-firm, slightly tacky film.

Applications
Surface preparation
The maximum performance of Tectyl 558-AMC can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be protected are clean, dry and free of rust, oil and mill scale. Valvoline recommends a substrate temperature of 10-35 °C at the time of product application.
Application
Tectyl 558-AMC is formulated to be used as supplied. Valvoline recommends that the ambient and product temperature be 10-35 °C at the time of product application. Do not thin Tectyl 558-AMC.
Tectyl 558-AMC can be applied by low-pressure air spray. Details on application can be found in the application chart.
Removal
Tectyl 558-AMC can be removed in the wet phase with Tectyl Biocleaner or Valvoline 150 or lowpressure steam. If dried and cured the film of Tectyl 558-AMC can be removed with Tectyl Biocleaner or Valvoline 150.
