CORROSION INHIBITING SYSTEMS

A microporosity sealant guarding against corrosion

As a protective coating it is particularly effective on magnesium and aluminum alloys. The process can also be used on steel, titanium and other metals. It is highly resistant to weathering and a very wide range of chemicals up to 200 degree centigrade. Surface sealing enhances the expected life of magnesium alloys by at least 6 times. This enables parts to fly longer in aircraft thus requiring less down time, which yields a tremendous savings for the end user. The process is easily applied by centrifuge, spraying, rolling, or dipping. Best results are realized when used over an anodized base such as; Dow coatings, HAE coatings, Tagnite coatings and Magoxid coatings. This process is widely used in the Aerospace industry; most commonly on Jet engine components. In many cases it has replaced other resins such as MIL-R-3034, AMS 3132 and MIL-C-22750 CLEAR. Countless studies have been made on the performance of surface sealing and the conclusion stands: for maximum corrosion protection, incorporation of surface sealing was necessary.

If greater salt spray resistance is required, this sealant, when used in conjunction with heavy film anodic coatings, can withstand over 8,000 hours. It is widely used for turbine housings, compressor housings, computer chassis, engine blocks, heat exchangers, aircraft components, gearbox cases and more.
