LOCKGUARD E 8080 is a partial butyl ester of an oxidized hydrocarbon. LOCKGUARD E 8080 is a soft, semi-solid highly polar compound that provides excellent lubricity properties. LOCKGUARD E 8080 functions by being attracted to metal surfaces. LOCKGUARD E 8080 provides a multi-molecular film which lowers the coefficient of friction while simultaneously offering mild rust preventive properties.
