Eco-Friendly Corrosion Control Products: Sustainable Solutions
These days, industries are focusing on reducing their carbon footprint, enhancing sustainability, and minimizing harmful environmental effects. Corrosion control, being a critical aspect of many industrial processes, is no exception. Traditional corrosion inhibitors often contain harsh chemicals that can harm both the environment and the health of workers. Thankfully, Texas Technologies offers a range of eco-friendly corrosion control products that help protect infrastructure and equipment while prioritizing environmental sustainability. Today, we are highlighting some of the eco-friendly solutions to corrosion, cleaning, and degreasing available from Texas Technologies.
Eco-Friendly Bottled Products
Texas Technologies carries many bottled corrosion control products that are both effective and environmentally conscious. These products are designed for ease of application, portability, and sustainable use.
Rust Solutions
To block rust before it starts, 389 Cortec ECOSpray Rust Blocker is a water-based coating that blocks rust in areas where outdoor corrosion protection is needed. This formula works on many types of metals, including rust-proof iron, steel and other ferrous metals.
If you’re looking to remove rust, Cortec EcoGuard™ Rust Remover is an eco-friendly liquid solution for removing corrosion and rust from metal surfaces. This product is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it safe for both workers and the environment. It effectively dissolves rust and scale, restoring metal surfaces to their original condition without the need for harsh, hazardous chemicals.
Cleaners & Degreasers
Cortec EcoClean Silver and Gold Cleaner is specially engineered to safely and effectively remove oxides, grease, oils and other contamination from delicate metal contacts of silver or gold commonly incorporated in electrical and electronic equipment. Biodegradable and formulated to be free of harsh abrasives and toxic chemicals, this product is worker and environmentally friendly. Additional uses include cleaning fine silver and gold jewelry, silver dining service pieces, and more.
Cortec EcoClean®416 is a heavy-duty water-based alkaline cleaner and degreaser offering unique flash corrosion protection. EcoClean®416 can provide corrosion protection for up to 6 months during indoor storage.
Cortec ECOSpray 238 Electronic Cleaner is an excellent contact cleaner of oils, grime and other contaminants. This silicone-free formula leaves behind Cortec®VpCI® corrosion protection and cleans and protects without CFCs, while leaving electrical resistance intact.
Air Propelled Products
In addition to liquid corrosion control products, Texas Technologies also offers air-propelled solutions that offer a cleaner and more efficient application process while reducing the amount of chemical exposure to the environment.
Cortec EcoAir® 337 Bio-Based Interior Fogging Corrosion Inhibitor is a water-based fogger for corrosion protection in enclosed spaces. Equipped with a delayed-release valve actuator, the product can be enclosed in a container and left to dispense. It is non-toxic and dries tack-free.
Cortec EcoAir® BioClean Spray is a predominantly naturally derived “green chemistry” product used to clean dirt, soil, dust, debris, and mold/mildew stains from wood, metal, plastics, and other hard surfaces. The coco oil and corn syrup-derived active components of EcoAir® BioClean Spray have wetting and detergency capabilities and corrosion-inhibiting properties.
Cortec BioCorr Rust Preventative is a water-based, biobased, and biodegradable rust preventative that is intended for the preservation of metals in storage and during transportation. Unlike rust preventative oils, this product leaves a dry film on the surface of the metal that is virtually undetectable. BioCorr Rust Preventative is VOC free and the formulation is biodegradable, eliminating expensive disposal costs associated with oils.
Cleaning/Surface Prep Products
Effective corrosion control and equipment protection begins with proper surface preparation, and Texas Technologies understands the importance of using safe and sustainable methods for cleaning and prepping surfaces before applying corrosion inhibitors.
Cortec EcoLine® Biobased Rubber Revitalizer is a soy-based product designed for cleaning and protecting genuine and synthetic rubber. Coating rubber with EcoLine® Biobased Rubber Revitalizer will prolong the life of any rubber surface by preventing drying and sun damage. EcoLine® Biobased Rubber Revitalizer is effective at cleaning and protecting rubber in a variety of applications, including tires, CVC boots, rubber vehicle tracks, rubber industrial and automotive components, rubber office equipment parts such as printer and scanner rollers, and more.
Cortec EcoLine® Bio-Based/Bio-Degradable Long Term Rust Preventative is a biodegradable temporary coating designed for use in severe marine and high humidity outdoor and indoor environments. It protects against all types of corrosion and oxidation, and works well on a variety of metals. Its excellent penetrating properties aid in loosening frozen or rusted parts.
Cortec EcoLine® Bio-Based Food Machinery Lubricating Grease #1 and #2 are NLGI grade 1 and 2 greases for lubrication of machinery where there is the possibility of incidental contact with food. Made from natural seed oils, EcoLine® Bio-Based Food Machinery Grease #1 and #2 provide superior lubricity to moving metal parts. They are ready to meet demanding lubrication applications in the food and beverage processing industries.
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Products?
Adopting eco-friendly corrosion control products like those available through Texas Technologies is more than just a trend; it’s an essential step towards sustainability. Here’s why you should make the switch:
- Environmental Protection: Eco-friendly products help reduce pollution, minimize harm to ecosystems, and promote a cleaner environment.
- Health and Safety: Many conventional corrosion inhibitors contain toxic chemicals that pose risks to human health. Eco-friendly products are safer for workers, reducing exposure to harmful substances.
- Long-Term Cost Savings: While eco-friendly products may have a slightly higher upfront cost, they offer long-term savings by reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of equipment and infrastructure.
- Compliance with Regulations: As environmental regulations become stricter, using eco-friendly products ensures compliance and avoids potential fines.
Texas Technologies offers a comprehensive range of eco-friendly corrosion control products that are effective, sustainable, and safe for the environment. By choosing from their eco-friendly bottled products, air-propelled solutions, or cleaning and surface prep options, industries can safeguard their infrastructure and equipment while contributing to a greener future. Make the responsible choice today and help protect both your assets and the planet with Texas Technologies’ innovative corrosion control solutions.
