Corrosion in the production environment often leads to major problems. Not only does it cause an unattractive appearance, but it also has an economic impact. Well thought-out corrosion management is therefore necessary. This saves companies considerable maintenance costs and extends the life of the equipment considerably. Corrosion Guard is a corrosion management solution that protects your business in the long term.
Corrosion on production equipment
Many production companies have to deal with persistent corrosion problems. This surface deterioration occurs in a wide range of situations. Many manufacturing companies experience corrosion of a wide range of plant and equipment items, including:
- Steam pipes;
- Steam valve manifolds;
- Windlas Steamships;
- Internal and external surfaces of tanks.
This is only part of an extensive list of items exposed to corrosion. However, WVT Industries has developed a solution that can eliminate all types of corrosion from equipment.
Corrosion Guard offers a solution
Corrosion Guard is a viscous, high-performance compound that simplifies corrosion management. This revolutionary product is fast, efficient and easy to use. It has proven particularly effective in combating severe corrosion found in storage chemicals and products, carriers and equipment.
WVT's unique product offers many advantages:
- Multi-purpose applications: Corrosion Guard can be used on all types of metals.
- Suitable for high temperature environments: The product can withstand continuous high temperatures.
- Inexpensive solution: It reduces repair and maintenance costs. Thanks to some adjustments, our product is now twice as economical!
- Easy to use: No more messy and wasteful greasing!
- Solvent-free: The product is environmentally friendly and has a very high flash point. This provides an additional safety margin in application, handling, storage and shipping.
- Double overlapping pigment system: Corrosion Guard creates a strong and flexible film, with improved adhesion to the substrate, abrasion resistance plus resistance to UV, moisture transmission and washing out.
How to apply Corrosion Guard
The application of Corrosion Guard is fast and efficient. The process involves only 2 simple steps:
1. Surface preparation
First remove all loose rust and flaking paint from the surface. Make sure that large rust deposits are removed and remove loose dirt. Then use WVT's Degreaser S100 to wipe away oily deposits. The final and most important step in the preparation process is to ensure that all surfaces are dry.
Preparation is the key to success!
2. Application
Then apply Corrosion Guard to the clean and dry surface. This can be done by simply brushing on the product with a thickness of 1 to 1.5 millimetres. Once applied, allow it to cure for at least 24 hours at ambient temperature.
You can determine the quantity of buckets required using the formula below:
(Pipe Dia (mm) x 3.14 x Pipe Run (m) x 11 ) / 18,000
