Cortec creates coating solutions that successfully replace hazardous chemicals.

Cortec creates coating solutions that successfully replace hazardous chemicals.

Several raw materials employed in the production of conventional anticorrosion coatings pose a severe threat to the environment and human health. The hazards have led to a surge in government regulations that have restrained anticorrosion coatings market growth. Global market trends are moving towards sustainable and renewable materials as the public is becoming more aware of the importance of utilising environmentally safe solutions. Thankfully, dedicated and extensive research has enabled Cortec to create solutions that successfully replace hazardous chemicals.

Biobased coatings are rapidly gaining market share due to their low cost, effectiveness and excellent environmental profile. Traditional petroleum-derived rust preventatives require expensive degreasers and hazardous disposal methods. Biobased products are inherently biodegradable, and in most cases do not require removal before painting or welding, providing a far more economical solution.

Breakthrough formulation

BioCorr rust preventive is a breakthrough formulation created in Cortec laboratories. It is a water-based, bio-based solution, intended for the preservation of metals in storage and during transportation. Unlike rust preventative oils, this product leaves a dry film on the surface of the metal that is virtually undetectable. This feature helps to create a clean workplace and prevents material waste. BioCorr is also biodegradable, eliminating expensive disposal costs associated with oils.

As a leader in innovative and safe corrosion protection technologies, Cortec is able to offer ecologically safe corrosion control solutions whose performance has outgrown conventional rust preventatives. Not only are these bio-based environmentally safe alternatives functionally superior to conventional petroleum-derived products, but they provide a far more economical solution. In addition to offering end-users an excellent environmental profile, and superior corrosion protection, BioCorr is typically 40% less expensive than the traditional petroleum-derived RP’s!

A Comprehensive study on Cortec’s BioCorr rust preventative was conducted in collaboration with the Laboratory for Materials Protection at the University of Zagreb. The paper covers the economic and environmental impact of traditional rust preventatives versus bio-based products.

The study includes a comparative experimental investigation of biobased and petroleum-based rust preventives in a humidity chamber, with the corrosion protection efficiency being determined using various polarisation techniques. This research paper clearly demonstrates that bio-based products may inhibit corrosion as well as their traditional oil-and solvent-based counterparts, without any negative environmental considerations. The latest scientific evidence of BioCorr’s performance will even further strengthen the value that Cortec brings to its customers.
