Cortec analyses best practices to avoid corrosion and protect electricals and electronics from it.

Electronics and electricals have undoubtedly become an integral part of everyday life. Without them, normal activity stops and efforts to repair the failed component become top priority. Unfortunately, many do not realize that failures and malfunctions due to corrosion can be easily mitigated with the proper preventative maintenance plans in place. Sometimes, the answer is to extending electrical/electronic service life as simple as installing a ...

When thinking of corrosion protection in the auto industry, it is easy to focus on rust prevention for vehicles and auto parts themselves. But it can be just as important to protect the tooling and dies used to make the auto components. For example, corrosion on plastic injection molds for auto interiors or on gauging equipment for quality inspection can lead to costly repairs or losses if not prevented.

Wind and solar power are fast becoming the renewable energies of choice in countries across the globe. Offshore and onshore wind energy is emerging in and around the seas of the world. Now engineers are battling the question of how to make renewable infrastructure last.

Formulators looking to enhance the corrosion protection of increasingly popular water-based coatings systems can now use Cortec’s M-120, a water-based corrosion inhibitor additive that does not contain heavy metals. M-120 can be used alone or in conjunction with other inhibitors to increase the corrosion protection abilities of both water-based and solvent-based systems. It is recommended for use in acrylic and alkyd resin systems.

The ready to use spray from Cortec, the VpCI-329 D ES, reportedly provides strong rust prevention for metals in indoor and outdoor sheltered conditions.
