Abstract: A surface protective lubricant formulation that can be applied to a variety of surfaces and provides enhanced anti-corrosion capabilities, the formulation consisting of one hundred percent (100%) hydrocarbon components. In particular, the composition includes a solvent hydrocarbon, and first and second petroleum hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbon solvent, which is mineral spirits, is in the range of from about 20% to about 70% by weight of the total formulation, with about 55% being optimal. The solvent hydrocarbon used herein is preferably the chemical named synthetic iapparaffinic hydrocarbon. The first petroleum hydrocarbon is in the range of from about 1% to about 35% by weight of the total formulation, with about 18% being optimal. The first petroleum hydrocarbon is manufactured by ExxonMobil Corporation under the trade name PROWAX 561. The second petroleum hydrocarbon is in the range of from about 1% to about 40% by weight of the total formulation, with about 26% being optimal.
