What is temporary corrosion protection?
Temporary corrosion protection involves targeted protective measures for metallic and painted surfaces that are only required for a limited period of time—such as during temporary storage, logistics processes, or seasonal applications. A temporary corrosion inhibitor forms an oily to waxy protective layer against corrosive substances such as humidity, dirt, corrosive salts, and oxygen.
Effectiveness depends on the application, material, environment, and duration of protection. PFINDER offers solvent-based and VOC-free products, available as sprays or liquids. Many of these are easily removable—without leaving any residue on the surface.
Typical applications for temporary corrosion protection
Our products for temporary rust protection and preservation are used in a wide variety of industries:
- Automotive suppliers: Protection of components during transport and storage
- Vehicle logistics & export: Corrosion protection for painted vehicles during sea transport
- Mechanical engineering & industry: Protection of metal assemblies in case of project delays or temporary storage
- Agricultural and construction machinery: Seasonal preservation ("winter storage"), retrofitting of temporary protective coatings
- Production: Protectingmetal surfaces from oxidation between processing steps
With PFINDER, you can rely on temporary corrosion protection methods that are safe, efficient, and user-friendly.
Features & Benefits of PFINDER Corrosion Protection
Our solutions offer:
- Temporary protective effect
- Easy application by spray, brush, dipping, or wiping
- Transparent or pigmented
- Compatible with many metallic surfaces such as steel, zinc, and aluminum

Flexibility for global supply chains
Whether for global shipping, where climatic fluctuations promote corrosion, or for internal storage between two process steps—temporary protective coatings reliably prevent damage from moisture, corrosive media, and ambient air. They form an effective barrier that can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Especially in automotive logistics or the supplier sector, PFINDER products prevent costly rework and quality defects. Their quick and easy application makes them an integral part of modern corrosion protection measures.
Sustainability & Environmental Considerations
Product Examples & Applications
Our portfolio includes temporary products based on corrosion-inhibiting oils, greases, or waxes—ranging from transparent preservation for sensitive visible surfaces to pigmented protective coatings with high visibility.
Typical products can be easily used in logistics centers, workshops, or production lines. Our specialists will help you define the optimal system—tailored to geometry, duration of protection, and reprocessing.
