Sample Testimonials

I have tried everything from WD-40 to the professional stuff and there is nothing like TC-11. I live in Buffalo, New York and this product is great for locks - it never freezes. It is really a great product. - Mike L,
Buffalo New York

I bought a can of your product some time ago and am greatly impressed! I use it mostly on my x-ring motorcycle chain. When I clean my chain, every 300mi. or so, I initially use a name brand, chain specific lube and after I work that in, I coat the chain with TC-11. No rust, even in rainy weather, which was not the case with only the chain lube!  - Karl K, Largo, Florida

I consider TC-11 to be the best gun and knife oil on the market - Rick White

I am a fishing reel repair technician here in Florida. I have tried all the different brands of anti-corrosive products on the market, without much success. They all claim to stop and prevent corrosion from saltwater and salt air. None have lived up to the advertising hype. Last month I was in the local hardware store looking around, and happened to spot a small display of your TC-11 product. I thought, what the heck, it is worth a shot. Wow, was I glad I did!!! After a few tests on the product, I am thoroughly sold on your product. I just went back to today, and bought out the remaining seven precision oilers, and ordered some more. Also bought 4 cans of the spray to put on guides on rods. That is enough to last me for a few months, because I also use it on freshwater reels. I have found that most of the freshwater lakes and streams are becoming saline at a rapid rate.
Again, thank you for your product, and I am passing on the information to all the other reel techs I know! - Charlie Yeager

TC-11 is a great product. I have several cans around my house and barn, and I I have sent them to my family and friends all over the country - Neal Grolnic

After trying everything from heat, a large hammer, WD-40®, pullers, absolutely everything, this flywheel would not come off. I was afraid that I was going to have to cut it off and buy a new flywheel and crankshaft. That would have set me back a little over $900. But as soon as I thought my luck was gone, TC-11® to the rescue. I heard about it, thought about it, bought it for $10 at a local hardware store it saved me a fortune. Thank you.  Danny Walton

You have a gold mine with your TC-11 product. I recently came across a pair of needle nose pliers in the shop that were badly rusted. Before throwing them away, I figured I would try to clean them up and see if they could be salvaged. I went to the tool chest for some WD 40 and found your product instead. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this stuff actually pulled the rust right out of the hinge! I literally watched it seep out! I will never buy another can of WD 40!

Thank You,

Jeff Sayers

 

I use TC-11 regularly on my car collection, which includes post- WW II sports cars, race cars and hot rods. I am very careful about which products I use on these works of automotive art. TC-11 performs as claimed, which is unusual for this class of product.  I.C.C. has gone to great lengths to validate their performance claims, which is the primary reason I chose the product. The compatibility with rubber, paint, and plastic is a particularly important issue because of the value of the vehicles. The ability to get some real rust protection in addition to lubricating qualities is a plus over other products I have tried.

H. Harris, Arizona.

 

TC-11 and 0000 steel wool is great for taking rust off of the spokes on my Harley Davidson. As you can imagine, I will not let anything touch my Hog that could possible hurt it. The ability of TC-11 to melt rust without affecting rubber, paint, and plastic is simply amazing.

Major Bertagnolli, United States Army.

We had a customer doing repairs who had a corner crimper that kept jamming up on him. He had to apply a lot of pressure when trying to crimp corners. He came in and asked for a lubricant. We gave him TC-11 and the tool was miraculously repaired. It worked like a charm.

The first time I used TC-11, I was working on my backyard patio cover. I had a nut and bolt on a bracket that were very heavily corroded. I couldn't break it free dry, but as soon as I used TC-11 it came right apart. I use TC-11 on my boat to spray down the electrical connections and the motor. I have also given TC-11 to a local engine shop - J. Corneau California.

We tried TC-11 in July of 2001 and it has been so effective in controlling corrosion that we now offer it as an optional treatment for all of our customers. Some customers, such as dealers for Caterpillar and Case, insist upon TC-11 being applied to every piece of equipment that is put on a barge for shipment. Our customers inform us that TC-11 is highly effective in controlling rust, and best of all, it is easy to remove without the need for soap or degreasers -M. Maxwell, Northland Marine Services, Seattle, Washington.

My name is Frank Koz, and I own Ocean Marine Electronics - a sales and service company for the marine industry. Recently, one of my customers called me to repair his $6,000.00 radar. Upon inspection of the antenna, I found extensive water damage. The printed  circuit boards were green with corrosion. I didn't know if I could salvage them. Being out of the cleaner that I normally would have used, I purchased a can of  TC-11. Your product, I found out, not only removed the corrosion, but was easy to remove the residue. Upon reinstalling the unit, The customer thought I purchased all new boards, and was ready to cash in an IRA for the repair. He was amazed that all the boards were salvaged, and the bill, including labor, was a little more then $500.00, including the $10.00 for your product. Your TC-11 will, from now on, be the only cleaner in my vehicles.

I put TC-11® on a metal overhead door that was difficult to operate and it was making a lot of noise. As soon as I put TC-11® in the operating mechanism, it was much easier to operate and it no longer made any noise. The amazing thing is that this was three years ago, and the TC-11® is still doing its job. When I applied the TC-11® some of the over spray landed in a fish pond that was below the door. I figured that the fish were in big trouble. It turned out that the TC-11® had no effect on the fish. I recommend the product to everyone”. Glen – Kailua, Hawaii.

TC-11 was picked by Practical Sailor magazine as the best spray-on corrosion inhibitor for electrical and electronic equipment, out-performing all of the other products tested. Here is what Practical Sailor had to say in their September 2007 issue.

 

 "Seawater and electricity love each other with a fatal attraction, and when they break barriers to get to each other, we suffer from the destruction left in their wakes. Enter aerosol corrosion inhibitors. If you spray sensitive electrical circuitry—including printed circuit boards—with the aerosol rust inhibitors we tested, they’ll prevent corrosion from interrupting circuits and water from creating circuits where they aren’t wanted. Our test lineup included Boeshield T-9, Corrosion Block, CorrosionPro Lube, CorrosionX, CRC Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor, CRC QD, LPS 1, Strikehold, TC-11, WD-40. The TC-11 was our top pick.

 

The manufacturer of this product—ICC Industries—bills TC-11 (http://www.tc-11.com/) as "the best corrosion inhibitor…and penetrating oil on the market," "…the most compatible multi-purpose lubricant," and says that it "stops, prevents, and removes rust."

Lofty claims, indeed, but PS testers found the TC-11 radio to be the cleanest of all. There was no corrosion at the battery terminals or the antenna, and the circuit board was generally free of the deposits seen on all of the others. It also has the most comprehensive instructions of any product we tested printed on the canister.

Bottom Line: No messy residue, combined with effective performance, makes this our Best Choice for keeping electrical systems conducting".

 

The identical steel Q-panels presented below were chemically cleaned, treated once with a competing product, and exposed to identical environmental conditions of 24-hours per day of a salt breeze, intermittent rainfall, tropical sunlight, and a nightly condensation cycle for 21 days. The panels are photographed on a daily basis to document the test results and the test can be duplicated by any interested party.

See the Competition page for more examples of how TC-11 performs in comparison to other products.

Here is a typical penetrating oil testimonial: “After trying everything from heat, a large hammer, WD-40®, pullers - absolutely everything - this flywheel would not come off. I was afraid that I was going to have to cut it off and buy a new flywheel and crankshaft. That would have set me back a little over $900.

ICC is the only corrosion inhibitor manufacturer that provides documented side-by-side test results  to substantiate product performance claims. Standardized steel test panels treated once with a competing product and exposed to identical test conditions were used to generate the following test results.

This graph indicates that TC-11 offers unprecedented corrosion control performance. The TC-11 film is an excellent lubricant, so the lubrication performance of TC-11 is superior to competing bulk lubricants by the same margin as the unprecedented corrosion control performance. The rust penetrating capability of TC-11 is a function of the fact that TC-11 makes rust "float" off off the underlying metal. It has to be seen to be believed.

Retailer's Choice Award
Dealer's Pick Award
TC-11 won the Retailer's Choice Award at the August 2002 National Hardware Convention and the Dealers Pick Award at the September 2002 Hardware Conference on Marco Island, Florida.

TC-11 allows you to:

  • Maintain the original appearance and performance of equipment indefinitely with a minimum of cost and effort.
  • Help restore rusted equipment to its original. performance and appearance.
  • Increase the equipment lifetime and reduce operating. and maintenance costs for all types of equipment.

  • Make electrical systems virtually impervious to the effects of water for extended periods of time.
  • Perform a variety of household tasks, such as lubricating door and window hardware, removing rust stains, adhesive residue, and indelible ink from a wide variety of surfaces.

Limitations of TC-11

In order to increase customer satisfaction, ICC want to clearly identify the limitations of TC-11.

1. TC-11 is not a replacement for paint. TC-11 is a corrosion inhibitor designed to compliment a robust coat of paint, not to replace it. If a paint film fails, the corrosion cell will lift up the adjacent film of paint and the entire paint film will fail in a relatively short amount of time. If a coat of TC-11 is in place the corrosion cell will not grow, even if the item is submerged in salt water.

2. TC-11 will not remove heavy rust deposits. TC-11 is effective at removing light surface rust. It is also effective at removing the thin coat of rust that interferes with the adhesion between the primer and the underlying metal. It is not a replacement for sandblasting or other mechanical methods that are used to remove heavy rust deposits.

3. If the item you are treating is going to be submerged in salt water or fresh water for an extended period of time, you should use Car Coat, Barge Coat, or Cable Coat.

4. It is not possible to paint over TC-11. The TC-11 will interfere with the bond between the primer and the underlying metal. TC-11 be removed with and mild degrease such as soap and water or Simple Green®.

5. TC-11 has a "wet" surface. It never hardens. This allows TC-11 to function as a highly effective lubricant. Dust accumulation may be an issue if the coat of TC-11 is too thick. The dust may be removed by washing down the item with a stream of fresh water. The water will remove the dust, but it will not remove the coat of TC-11.

6. On some occasions the aerosol nozzle may clog. The nozzle may be cleared by removing the nozzle, placing the nozzle outlet on the aerosol valve stem, and momentarily depressing the vale stem to backflow TC-11 through the nozzle.

One Final Note

TC-11 does not affect rubber, paint, and plastic. If TC-11 comes into contact with a clear coat  or a finish coat on a vehicle, boat, or piece of equipment it will not have any effect on the surface finish. No other corrosion inhibitor manufacturer makes this performance clam. TC-11 has been used by thousands of customers on millions of dollars worth of equipment without a single report of any compatibility issues.

TC-11 has a significant positive environmental impact.

TC-11 comes with a no questions asked money back guarantee.
