ANTI-CORROSION SUBSTANCES

Corrosion is a naturally occurring process. Various factors can accelerate the rate of corrosion:

• Exposure to humidity - High humidity;
• Extreme temperatures;
• Presence of salts - acidic water environment;
• exposure to dirt or bacteria.

A corrosion inhibitor or anti-corrosion substances is a chemical compound added to a liquid or gas to reduce the rate of corrosion of a metal in contact with the liquid. The effectiveness of an anti-corrosion coating depends on the composition and dynamics of the fluid. Corrosion inhibitors are common in industry and can also be found in commercially available products, usually sprayed with lubricants and sometimes with penetrating oils. 

Depending on the type of base fluid, rust preventive fluids can be divided into solvent-based, oil-based and water-based rust preventives, with the addition of corrosion inhibitors, film formers and other additives to the base fluid. Corrosion can usually be controlled by the implementation of specific corrosion "probing" techniques or devices in infrastructure, factories, automobiles, buildings, bridges and other engineering systems. Anti-corrosion substances are used in industry to stop water coming into contact with the steel surface, which causes corrosion. 

Corrosion protection has become a major challenge in automotive engineering. BRUNOX, STONDER, FERTAN, HAGMANS protective and anti-corrosion substances allow advanced automotive professionals to stay one step ahead of corrosion by offering a wide range of corrosion-resistant coatings.

When selecting protective and anti-corrosive coatings, it is important to consider the type of surface to be repaired, the extent of the damage and the subsequent treatment process. Our specialists are always ready to help you choose the most suitable product for your project and needs.
