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.
