Cortec® Boiler Lizard® – VpCI Dry Lay-Up Corrosion Inhibitor for Boilers

Description

Protect your boiler through every off-season shutdown with Boiler Lizard®, a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor (VpCI®) powder purpose-built for dry lay-up. Sealed inside a water-soluble bag, the powder vaporizes once placed inside a drained boiler, forming a protective molecular layer across every interior surface it reaches — including recessed areas, dead legs, and tube crevices that liquid treatments and desiccants can’t fully protect.

Why facilities choose Boiler Lizard for seasonal shutdown

• Delivers continuous corrosion protection for up to 12 months of dry storage
• Protects both ferrous metals and aluminum
• Reaches vapor-phase, liquid-phase, and interface zones alike — no blind spots
• Requires little to no surface prep before shutdown
• Dissolves on restart, so there’s no rinse-out or removal step delaying startup
• Eliminates the need for nitrogen blanketing, silica gel, or constant moisture monitoring
• Biodegradable, non-toxic PVA bag is safe to handle
• One bag treats up to 1,000 gallons of boiler volume

Whether you’re laying up a single package boiler for the summer or idling a bank of industrial units for an extended turnaround, Boiler Lizard removes the guesswork — and the labor — from dry lay-up protection.
