New biobased open atmosphere corrosion inhibitor

Article Type: New materials and equipment From: Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, Volume 61, Issue 1

Cortec® Corporation, leader in innovative, green, sustainable technologies has spent many years of dedicated experimentation to develop eco-efficient, biodegradable products made from sustainable materials that have positive effects on the environment and are safe to work with. Latest such innovation is EcoLine® 3680, a certified biobased, biodegradable, ready-to-use temporary coating for multimetal protection.

EcoLine® 3680 is formulated with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) renewable raw materials; which allows use for corrosion protection of equipment where incidental contact with food is possible. The product is HX-1 approval pending.

This green inhibitor provides premium indoor and outdoor multimetal protection. When applied on the surface, it leaves a tenacious, dry-to-touch protective coating, which provides excellent protection on metal surfaces. The film is self-healing and moisture-displacing, providing superior protection even against aggressive environments. This wax-like film can be removed with alkaline cleaners such as Cortec® VpCI®-414. EcoLine® 3680 is safe, economical and easy to use.

Metals protected with EcoLine® 3680: carbon, galvanized and stainless steels, copper, brass, bronze, aluminum and cast iron. The product can be easily applied by brushing or spraying.

Typical applications:

* pipe coating;

* parts storage;

* wire rope;

* steel plate; and

* machined parts.

EcoLine® 3680 conforms to NACE Standard RP0487-2000 and has been tested by certified laboratory in accordance with ASTM B-117 (salt spray test) and ASTM D-1748 (humidity test) with excellent results. The product is RoHS and REACH compliant (Figure 4).
