CorrosionX 80102 Aviation Corrosion Inhibitor - 16 oz Can

Left untreated, corroded areas quickly become extremely expensive to repair. They will certainly diminish the value of your airplane. And selling an airplane infected with corrosion could be difficult – if not impossible.

Corrosion is simply oxidation. It happens whenever metal and moisture come together. It can’t be stopped permanently, but it can be controlled. The most effective way to control it is to get rid of electrolytes that cause it.

CorrosionX takes corrosion control to a new level. Featuring the latest advances in Fluid Thin Film Coating (FTFC) Technology, it is specially designed to displace moisture, stop corrosion on contact and provide long-lasting protection.

CorrosionX penetrates through any oxidation, displaces electrolyte and leaves behind an ultra-thin fluid film that stops electrolysis. It contains no wax, tar, silicone or other solids that could interfere with visual inspections. It dissipates over time, leaving no residual buildup.

CorrosionX, unlike wax-based products, is a superb penetrate. It creeps into the tiniest crevices and cracks, between skin laps, and around screws and rivets. Whenever moisture goes, CorrosionX goes and displaces it. It is also an unsurpassed lubricant for teleflex cables, locks and hinges. And it can be applied to cannon plugs, micro-switches, antenna bases, circuit breakers, connectors and pins. With a dielectric strength of nearly 30KV, it is exceptional in its ability to stop electrolysis between dissimilar metals.

MADE IN THE USA, CorrosionX meets Mil-C-81309E, Type II (NSN 8030-01-438-4093) for application to airframes and is used extensively by the military.

Fluid Thin Film Coating (FTFC) Technology

What it is and How it works Even though our Fluid Thin Film products may look and feel like ordinary oil, there's nothing ‘ordinary’ about them. They are made up of more than a dozen different components, each designed for a specific purpose. The end result is remarkable… products that stop and prevent corrosion. They creep, penetrate, lubricate, are dielectric and displace moisture.

Fluid Thin Film Coating Defined Corrosion Technologies Corporation coined the term “Fluid Thin Film Coating” to describe the basic technology found in all our anti-corrosion products and to distinguish them from barrier coatings or wax-based sealants commonly used as corrosion inhibitors. They are not sealants, contain no wax, tar, silicone or solids and leave no sticky, gummy mess behind. Polar Bonding with metal surfaces makes CorrosionX cling like a magnet and resist being washed away. The film creeps and spreads until it reaches a minimum thickness of .0003".

Controlling the Corrosion Process A corrosion cell is similar to a tiny battery. There is an anode, cathode, electrolyte and a path of current. Eliminate any one of these elements and you can shut down the process. FTFC doesn't stop with just one, it removes two: it displaces electrolyte and leaves an ultra-thin dielectric film that blocks the path of current. And, because of its film thickness, it won't interfere with circuitry.
