Metal Guard 830 HTF is a water-soluble, hot test fluid additive designed specifically for today’s high
performance, multi-metal, internal combustion engines. Metal Guard 830 HTF is formulated to perform in both
conventional and synthetic engine coolants while providing superior corrosion for all internal engine surfaces.
The ASTM D-1384 test data below was performed by a third party laboratory with Metal Guard 830 HTF at 5% by volume in city water. These results demonstrate its performance on the metals listed below.

The Challenge
A leading remanufacturer of automotive brake calipers was having problems with flash rust appearing on their finished goods. What was even worse was the fact that the issue was not revealing itself until after the remanufactured parts were already shipped to retail stores and customers were pulling boxes off of store shelves and seeing the surface rust, forcing the chain stores to return the products to the distributor.
A Senior Technical Product Manager for the remanufacturer approached Hubbard-Hall at AAPEX 2015 about solving the flash rust problem, as well as restoring the confidence of the company to distributors of its products.
