A Proven, Effective and Economical Method

of

Controlling Corrosion!

What is CORROSION?

CORROSION?

CORROSION?

u Simply put,

CORROSION is Natures way of converting metal back to its original state - Oxide!

CORROSION
u- COSTLY u-

SAFETY CONCERN u- NATURAL PHENOMENON u- CONTROLLABLE

METAL CANCER
uPARALLELS

& COMPARISONS

SUBTLE NO PERMANENT FIX CONTROL * EARLY DETECTION * PROPER TREATMENT

CORROSION PROCESS
u The corrosion cell is

like a tiny battery u It requires an anode, cathode, electrolyte and path of current u Eliminate any one of these elements and you shut down the corrosion process!

Electrolyte
(water, salt water, acid)

Anode
Path of Current

Cathode

METAL

Corrosion Cell

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO CORROSION:

uAtmospheric Conditions uAircraft

Structure

GALVANIC

SURFACE

PITTING

FILIFORM

INTERGRANULAR

STRESS

Conventional Methods of Prevention:

uAnodizing uPlating uCladding uZinc Chromating

Are Not Working

When corrosion occurs, the ideal method is to...

Mechanically remove all corrosion and reapply a protective coating .....

NOT PRACTICAL!

Best Practical Solution...

u Treat with sprayable chemicals

uTwo Types:

1) Barrier Coatings
2) FTFC (Fluid Thin Film Coatings)

Barrier Coatings
Sealants trap moisture in!
Exterior Moisture from exterior seam

Melts & drips in high temperatures!

Hardens & cracks in cold temperatures

Barrier Coatings
u Usually

wax in nature u Require removal of oxidation u High in VOCs u Seal in electrolyte u Lack penetration u Inspections difficult
uHard to remove

May harden & crack in cold temperatures

Sealants trap moisture in!

FTFC TECHNOLOGY
Interior

FTFCs penetrate to cover everything!

Will not harm or release paint

Exterior

FTFCs displace moisture!

FTFC TECHNOLOGY
u Polar

bonds to the metal surface u Can be applied over existing corrosion u Removes electrolyte from corrosion cell u Leaves ultra -thin dielectric film u Non-toxic and easy to apply u Will NOT interfere with inspections FTFCs penetrate to u Low in VOCs cover everything! u Economical

How CORROSION Works!

Polar Bonds to Metal

CORROSION
Then lays down an FTFC (Fluid Thin Film Coating) that provides the needed rust & corrosion protection by means of an outstanding inhibitor package
