CASE HISTORY SPOTLIGHT: Case History #611: Export Packaging of Heat Exchangers

May 09, 2023

Chs 611 - Cortec Corporation A manufacturer of heat exchangers was having problems with corrosion developing during overseas export. This presented a negative company image to customers.

The manufacturer was satisfied with the cost-effective solution and expressed interest in using VpCI® hydrotesting additives, as well.
