Industrial workers encounter voids everywhere: in equipment, in piping, in packages, and even in structures. The challenge comes when these voids need short- or long-term preservation against corrosion. Such areas cannot typically be protected by applying a coat of protective paint or a rust preventative oil. VpCI® fogging fluids are an excellent alternative that makes preservation fast and effective. For workers ready to take this route, Cortec® recommends CorroLogic® Fogging Fluid VpCI®-339 as its most advanced, convenient fogging fluid thus far.
Efficient Corrosion Protection
Like other Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors, CorroLogic® Fogging Fluid VpCI®-339 delivers corrosion inhibiting vapors to enclosures that are difficult to access. These vapors diffuse throughout the space and adsorb on metal surfaces, creating a protective molecular layer. If disturbed, this thin film replenishes itself as long as Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors remain in the void. It is an excellent alternative to nitrogen purge in terms of safety as well as cost and effectiveness. While nitrogen is only effective with an airtight seal and must be reapplied if pressure is lost, CorroLogic® Fogging Fluid VpCI®-339 continues working even if the void is briefly opened for inspection, making it especially ideal for extremely large void spaces.
Versatile Preservation
CorroLogic® Fogging Fluid VpCI®-339 is extremely adaptable to a variety of industrial preservation settings. It protects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and copper. Furthermore, it can be used in many areas that are difficult to protect, such as double wall spaces, complex internal cavities, and other structural voids. Fogging heat exchangers and piping on new oil and gas modules or at mothballed facilities are two prime examples of how it can be used to great benefit for successful transportation and deep storage of key assets. It can also be fogged into boxes, crates, and shrouded packages of metal goods ready to be shipped or preserved.
Convenient Startup
While Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors are inherently convenient, CorroLogic® Fogging Fluid VpCI®-339 is the most convenient VpCI® fogging fluid to date. Cortec® R&D has taken this formulation to the next level as a no-solids inhibitor that is soluble in both water and hydrocarbons. These two features mean there is less likelihood that the product will need to be flushed out of the system before putting equipment into service. This translates into less hassle and greater speed for workers commissioning equipment, which will allow the facility to start being productive all the sooner.
