The difference between Dinitrol cavity waxes explained

30th May 2022

As more and more Dinitrol products become available in the UK we thought it would be appropriate to explain the differences between the products that are most popular amongst DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.

In this article we will take a look at the three most popular rust proofing cavity waxes and the best way to get the most out of these products.

Dinitrol ML cavity wax

This is a very thin, low viscosity  brown cavity wax that is ideal for spraying into the chassis, box sections and hard to reach areas. Dinitrol ML is an all year round product and doesn't need warming prior to application.

Applied in conjunction with an underbody wax ( Dinitrol 4941) it acts as an adhesion promotor and can be used over previously applied rust prevention applications.

Dinitrol ML contains rust inhibitors and will help stop ongoing corrosion by forming a soft, wear resistant film that effectively eliminates dampness.

Dinitrol 3125HS cavity wax

In many respects Dinitrol 3125HS has similar properties and uses as Dinitrol ML. The main difference between them is that Dinitrol 3125HS has a high viscosity. This means that it is very thick and will require warming prior to use.

This product is better suited to warm weather and can be used as a thin underbody coating where high abrasion is unlikely.

For improved performance on more corroded surfaces, Dinitrol ML can be used as a pre-treatment to Dinitrol 3125HS.

Dinitrol 3125 HS penetrates rust and dirt preventing further corrosion. Even damp and dirty surfaces will not affect its superb performance.

Dinitrol 3654 cavity wax

Dinitrol 3654 is another cavity wax but its medium viscosity allows it be used in both warm and cold weathers. DINITROL 3654 is designed for application in closed cavities, doors and other parts of cars, trucks and buses.

Designed for use in new build production as it contains less rust inhibitors and can be used on new or nearly new vehicles where little or no rust has formed.

Particularly suitable for use at import plants, during truck and bus manufacture and in the aftermarket. Also for use on spare parts which are stored for long periods or transported under very corrosive weather conditions.

Before applying any of the Dinitrol cavity wax products, thorough preparation is key to a successful rust proofing outcome. This video provides a good guide to all the steps that should be taken when preparing a vehicle.
