CorrBlock™ – Corrosion Protection in Cooling and Waste Water Systems

CorrBlock™ is time-release, biodegradable corrosion inhibitor block friendly to marine ecosystems. This safe to handle and easy to apply block is formulated using renewable soybean-based wax and proven Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) technology. When immersed in water CorrBlock™ slowly dissolves and releases calculated amount of inhibitors required for corrosion protection of a system.

The inhibitors in CorrBlock™ provide multi-metal protection and are excellent replacement for chromates, nitrites, and other types of restricted corrosion inhibitors. The VpCIs form a strong monomolecular layer on metal surfaces that protect in all three phases – liquid, vapor, and the vapor-liquid interface. CorrBlock™ provides water treatment companies with the ability to conveniently incorporate Cortec® VpCI® technology into their specific applications. In addition to preventing corrosion and pitting, CorrBlock™ eliminates the need for dosing pumps and tanks for conventional liquid inhibitors as well as protects tools, workpiece, and metalworking machines during downtime. It can be used as a corrosion inhibitor additive in great majority of water treatment programs and is compatible with most commercially available biocides and antiscalants. CorrBlock™ is nitrite, chromate, and heavy metal free, does not cause foaming or promote bacteria growth. It is easily traceable utilizing a Molybdenum test kit.

CorrBlock™ is excellent for open loop re-circulating cooling systems and waste water systems. The product can be placed in make-up water, cooling tower basin, returned water circuits, or waste water systems. CorrBlock™ conforms with NACE Standard Practice RP0487-2000, NACE Standard Test Method TM0208-2008, and MIL-I-22110C.
