One such challenge faced by the manufacturing sector is that of metal corrosion prevention, or ‘rusting’. It refers to the formation of ‘rust on the metal surface. Rust is an iron oxide that forms on the surface metals upon chemical reaction, or exposure to humidity or moisture. A flaky, orange-red coating is formed that slowly eats away the metal surface. Rusting is very common on iron and steel, and since these metals are crucial in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, rusting can lead to a variety of serious problems like equipment failure, increased power consumption, and non-salable parts, if not dealt with correctly.
The solutions to rusting are rust preventive agents which are applied to metals during a semi-finished or finished stage. They work by creating a protective coating around metal which prevents contact of the corrosive substance with the metal. Rust preventive agents are either water-based or solvent-based, and are a crucial requirement in the automotive sector, fluid-containing machines and tanks, construction industry, etc.
When it comes to providing efficient and technology-driven solutions to rusting and corrosion for the manufacturing sector, one of the leading names in today’s times is Zavenir. With their wide range of innovative and sustainable products and services, Zavenir has been the preferred chemical partner of the Indian manufacturing industry.
Based on the CCI (Contact Corrosion Inhibition) Technology, the NOX-RUST® preventive oils by Zavenir have been approved by leading global OEMs and the US Military and provide excellent corrosion protection in areas of high humidity and temperature. These preventive oils can be easily applied by spray, dip or brush for rust prevention on finished and semi-finished metal parts, coils/sheets, and enclosed area/parts such as fuel and storage tanks, cylinders etc. The NOX-RUST oils can significantly reduce your CPC (Cost per component) by offering low oil consumption, less evaporation loss and long term outdoor protection.
The NOX-RUST® VCI liquids and powders are another range of rust preventive products by Zavenir and are based on the Daubert VCI technology. These are especially useful in providing continuous corrosion protection to the exposed and unpainted metal parts in enclosed systems. The NOX-RUST VCI liquids and powders can be applied via the methods of fogging, spraying, dipping, or brushing to enclosed metal surfaces like boilers, turbines, heating/cooling systems, etc. These products can also be applied via fogging into shipping cases to protect unpainted sections during shipment process. In addition to reducing the CPC cost and low consumption, the NOX-RUST VCI liquids and powders offer a great ease of removal and are compatible with a wide range of industrial fuels, lubes and processing fluids. The powder-based products are soluble in water and silica-free. It is because of these advanced and innovative features that the NOX-RUST VCI liquids and powders have protective coating to prevent corrosion approvals from the leading global automotive OEMs and global oil and gas players.
