Description: Cortec's Cooling Tower Frog is a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) powder packaged in polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) water-soluble bags. It is specially developed for dry lay-up of cooling towers for seasonal, short or long-term lay-up. Cooling Tower Frog is effective up to 12 months. This product offers an extremely efficient method of protecting multimetal in enclosed spaces. When the bag is cut open, the VCIs vaporize and adsorb on all metal surfaces - reaching even recessed areas and interior cavities. The VCIs form a strong, self-replenishing, protective, molecular layer on the metal. Designed for ease of application, Cooling Tower Frog enables an easy start-up.
Application: • Provides continuous multimetal corrosion protection during lay-up period • Provides three phase multimetal protection - vapor phase, liquid phase and the vapor-liquid interface • Protects inaccessible and recessed surfaces • Requires little or no surface preparation • No special preparation necessary prior to start-up • Eliminates environmental hazards and disposal problems • Reduces chemical consumption and cost • Provides easy, convenient, hands-off application • Enables safe handling • Easy to apply • Increased worker productivity • Replaces hazardous oil-based products • PVA bags are fully biodegradable
Package:Available in two 4 lb (1.8 kg) bags per box
