Discovering Long-Term Rust Prevention for Automotive and Heavy Equipment Parts July 14, 2021 In the far-flung world of automotive and heavyequipment parts suppliers, both short-term and long-term rust prevention is critical to prevent serious loss from rust claims. Equally critical is finding a rust preventative that will be effective [...]
The ‘ABCs’ of Formulating ‘Green’ Biological Cleaning Products July 9, 2021 When it comes to formulating biological cleaning products, the Bionetix® “ABC Series” is a great place to start. These powder and liquid concentrates serve as the basics for a wide range of “green” cleaning and maintenance products powered [...]
Reduce Friction and Pollution in the Transportation Industry with EcoLine® Biobased Greases July 7, 2021 Trucks and trains are integral to the transportation and shipping industry. Furthermore, lubrication of high-pressure metal-to-metal components is essential to efficient and prolonged equipment service life. This routine maintenance task has traditionally been done [...]
Achieving Sustainability by Utilizing Migratory Corrosion Inhibitor Technology July 5, 2021 According to certain engineering regulations, the durability and design of structural lifetime is often around 50 years. It can be greatly extended with regular maintenance; otherwise the structure should be demolished and rebuilt. By using MCI® Technology in [...]
Case History #504: High-Temp Coating for Oil Cooler Corrosion June 29, 2021 A heavy equipment producer found corrosion inside carbon steel oil coolers during a six-month preventative maintenance check. The cooler manufacturer was able to reduce corrosion by switching to stainless steel but found that this significantly increased manufacturing [...]
A High Performance DTM Coating without the Hassle of 2K Primer/Topcoat Systems June 28, 2021 When choosing a protective coating for metal surfaces, many factors come into play. One of the first requirements is to ensure good adhesion with a direct to metal (DTM) primer. Sometimes, though, workers do [...]
Get the Right DFT for Optimal Coatings Results June 28, 2021 Getting the right DFT (dry film thickness) on a coating application is an important part of successful corrosion mitigation. If your DFT is too thin, it may not provide enough protection. If it is too thick, you will [...]
Corrosorber®: An Economical Way to Absorb Corrosive Gases Before They Attack June 22, 2021 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), volatile mercaptans, and other corrosive gases can lead to early failure on instrumentation and electricals in a variety of industries. One important means of protection is to capture these excess gases before [...]
Cortec’s Top-Three Primer/Topcoat Combos for Micro-Corrosion Inhibiting Protection June 21, 2021 Whenever time and resources allow, painters typically achieve the best coatings results from applying both a primer and a topcoat. Once this route has been chosen, the next important step is to select the best primer/topcoat combination for [...]
