Corrosion Inhibitor

Product Uses
Protect your components from corrosion during transport and storage by using Mykal Aquasolv (Aqua VCI) corrosion inhibitor. This environmentally-friendly product is a substitute for sodium nitrite-based alternatives. Mykal Aquasolv corrosion inhibitor is added to rinse water for either spray or immersion rinse during cleaning, and provides long term protection against moisture and humidity for ferrous components. Protection may last up to six months, depending on storage conditions, and post-treatment processes such as brazing, bonding, and painting are not affected. The molecular layer of VCI protection is invisible and non-tacky, and does not affect adhesion. Aquasolv Aqua VCI contains no nitrites or phosphates. It is non-combustible, non-hazardous to the environment, and non bio-accumulating. It is part of the Mykal range of industrial cleaning and degreasing products, manufactured to the highest standards by Mykal Industries. APPLICATION For best results, dilute Aqua VCI corrosion inhibitor in demineralised water at a concentration of 2-4%. Apply by immersion or spray for 30-60 seconds at a temperature between 50C and 60C. Take care to ensure that all surfaces are treated. Allow the component to cool to ambient temperature and leave to dry before enclosing in plastic, to prevent condensation which could damage the protective qualities of the VCI layer.

The coating does not affect the electrical conductivity of the parent metal and provides an excellent key for paint or other organic coating.

Surface Additive

Product Uses
Henkel’s Bonderite M-NT 4850-2 (was Alodine 4850-2) is a liquid concentrate that produces a chrome-free conversion treatment on light metals. It can also be used as a chromium free post-passivation on phosphated surfaces. Bonderite M-NT 4850-2 provides, in aqueous solutions, colourless conversion layers on light metals in immersion and spray applications. Both treatments provide an excellent corrosion resistance, as well as excellent adhesion properties for subsequent painting. Bath maintenance is controlled by determining the pH value and electrolytic conductivity. The conductivity should be kept constant during operation, and it should be noted that iron ions in the passivation bath can impair the conversion layer quality, so the maximum iron concentration should not rise above 10ppm. (Bath construction should be of fluoride resistant plastic such as hard PVC or PP, with racks of aluminium, stainless steel or hard PVC). Bonderite M-NT 4850-2 baths must be treated to remove metal ions and neutralised before adding to normal waste water.

Surface Additive

Product Uses
Bonderite M-ZN 450 R (was Novaphos Z450) converts iron and steel surfaces to a heavy zinc phosphate coating, which inhibits corrosion and greatly enhances the adhesion of paint. The solution is applied by immersion and leaves behind an absorptive coating which is stable to subsequent treatment with protective fluids. Bonderite M-ZN 450 R is supplied as a heavy liquid with a faint green colour. Diluted to just 0.4% (40 litres per 1000) and applied at 80-90C for 5-15 minutes, it imparts a durable zinc phosphated surface to ferrous metals. For effective phosphating, the surfaces being treated should be cleaned and thoroughly rinsed before application of the Bonderite M-ZN 450 R. After treatment, the work should be thoroughly rinsed with water, preferably hot water, and immediately dried. The resulting phosphated surface offers high corrosion resistance and acts as a key for subsequent paint finishes, giving improved adhesion and durability of the paint.

Corrosion Inhibitor

Product Uses
Bonderite O-PC 100 (was Suncorite Aqua 100 Black) is a water-based coating giving exceptional corrosion protection. It will provide protection of 500 – 1,000 hours ASTM B117 salt spray when applied at 50-70 microns over zinc phosphate pre-treated metal, or over shot-blasted steel substrates. This high performance anti-corrosive coating is based on a copolymer of vinyl acrylic and polyvinylidene chloride, with a combination of carbon black pigment, fillers and an anti-corrosive pigment. It is also lead-free, free of toxic chromate anti-corrosive pigments, and using Bonderite O-PC 100 avoids the hazard of fire and exposure to harmful solvents. Especially suited to the requirements of the motor industry, this product meets the highest automotive corrosions tests, for components which cannot withstand the baking processes of powder or electrophoretic coating. In addition, makers of rubber-metal anti-vibration mountings, components with temperature sensitive seals, such as propeller shafts, steering racks, shock absorbers, etc, will also benefit from Bonderite O-PC 100, as the air dry, force dry coating means that expensive stoving processes can be reduced, or even eliminated.

Corrosion Inhibitor

Product Uses
Henkel Bonderite O-PC 1090 (was Kephos 1090 Black) is a one operation non aqueous pretreatment and organic coating dip, providing corrosion resistance for items such as car accessories, sheet metal components, brackets, castings, tubular cooling units and domestic appliance back panels, etc. Bonderite O-PC 1090 produces a phosphate coating and black finish in just one process. Its provides excellent corrosion resistance for its film build, with protection being equivalent to that provided by a light weight phosphate coating plus a one-coat finish – it is more effective than most one-coat finishes on unphosphated steel and the finish is similar in appearance to that of a single coat of low gloss dip paint. Bonderite O-PC 1090 is best applied by dip, but can be brushed or sprayed. The process takes up less room than conventional separate phosphating and painting operations and delivers faster processing (forced dried for best results for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, air dried around 35-45 minutes – allowing 24 hours before assembling/packing).

Corrosion Inhibitor

Product Uses
Henkel’s Bonderite O-PC 253 (was Kephos 253) is a non-aqueous phosphating treatment for iron and steel surfaces, which simultaneously protects and seals the surface to protect against corrosion and enhance paint adhesion. Because it is non-aqueous, Bonderite O-PC 253 leaves no water residue behind which might cause subsequent paint blistering. Bonderite O-PC 253 provides an economical method of applying such high protection, and can be sprayed in a standard painting booth or dipped in a conventional tank. It works well with a conventional spray gun but also lends itself to electrostatic spray, roller- or brush-coat, cold dip, or wiping. It is applied at ambient temperature and leaves no effluent. Typical applications for Bonderite O-PC 253 are the phosphating of bodywork panels, cycle frames, car accessories, machinery casings including meter boxes and domestic white goods, and sheet steel. Spray application makes this a good choice for large items that are difficult to immerse. Most commonly applied to iron and steel, successful results are also obtained with electroplated zinc or galvanised items, and brass. The phosphated coating is quite flexible, allowing sheet materials to be worked up into, for example, box sections after being treated. Air drying is usually sufficient (3-5 minutes for spray or brush, up to 30 minutes for dip application) although force drying for five minutes at 95C is also permitted. Treated items can be painted immediately or stored temporarily, where they will enjoy the corrosion protection created by Bonderite O-PC 253.
