CORRATE 28A

 

Closed Loop Corrosion Inhibitor

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION AND USE

 

CORRATE-28A is a water soluble, non-volatile, corrosion inhibitor.  This product is specifically recommended for use in water and glycol-water antifreeze solutions in industrial engines and similar systems.  It contains no amine or ammonium compounds and is not injurious to non-ferrous metals, such as brass or aluminum.  As an added safeguard, CORRATE-28A does not decompose at temperatures found in supercharged engines.

 

PHYSICAL APPLICATION

 

CORRATE-28A is a film-forming corrosion inhibitor and will protect metal surfaces against oxygen and carbon dioxide attack, the usual corrodents in a cooling system.  It also protects metal surfaces against organic acid attack, such as the acids formed by normal decomposition of the glycols.  This product will maintain pH of treated solutions at 8.4 to 9.4 if used at recommended concentration levels.

 

 

TREATMENT/FEEDING REQUIREMENTS

 

CORRATE-28A should be added to glycol antifreeze solutions or water and maintained at the rate of 2000 parts per million alkalinity which would require 1.5 to 2 percent CORRATE-28A in the average system.  Concentrations of CORRATE-28A can be easily monitored by the use of a simple, convenient alkalinity and/or nitrite test procedure which can be run either in the field or plant laboratory.

 

All components of Corrate 28A are in compliance with EPA TSCA.
