Monroe Vanishing Oil 140 E5 is an odorless, colorless, low-viscosity petroleum solvent-based product designed for light-gauge blanking, stamping or forming operations and containing a lubricity additive to provide excellent results on thin-gauge stampings. Monroe Vanishing Oil 140 E5 works well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals alike. Monroe Vanishing Oil 140 E5 evaporates rapidly, leaving a slight residue which in most instances may be painted over without the need for additional cleaning operations. A test application with the particular paint/coating in questions is recommended.
