LC 252

Passivating Agent

 

LC 252 is designed to be used for “passivating” open & closed loop systems to prevent corrosion. It is a liquid blend of nitrite and other corrosion preventives which protects not only steel surfaces but also copper and other metal as well. The high concentration makes it a cost effective nitrite based passivating agent with the added advantage of being multi-metal compatibility and thus do not require separation of non-ferrous parts from a system during passivation.

 

Application

Normally injected into the system that is previously filled with standard industrial grade water and circulated continuously under required pressure for about 1-2 hours with hourly monitoring of the Nitrite concention. A higher temperature help to accelerate the passivating process and therefore reduce operation time. An appropriate temperature suitable to the system and available resources is choosen between 35 – 950C

 

Dosage

Initial : 1 : 400 is suitable in most cases of passivation processes operating at optimum temperature between 50 – 700C. Depending on the quality of water used some adjustment in the amount may be required to maintain the pH of the solution. An increase in concentration of LC 252 is necessary  in badly soiled systems. Additional amount of LC 252 may be required to be added during the circulation for the passivation process in order to maintain the required control parameters while monitoring.

LC 253

Phosphating Agents

 

LC 253 is a highly alkaline concentrated product designed for neutralizing the metal surfaces that is acceptable to corrosion. LC 253 is also a highly alkaline formulation of phosphate, polymeric dispersants and corrosion inhibitors. It is designed to control corrosion and neutralize any acidic left over from acid cleaning processes. It contains no chromate or heavy metals.

 

Application

Can be added directly into the raw water to give a 1% to 5% solution, which then may be used for neutralization & protection. For offline storing purposes a 0.5% solution may be quite effective. The surface to be neutralized or get protection must receive a minimum of 5-10 minute contact time.

 

Dosage

Dosage is calculated depending on the circulating or storing volume and the time of contact. A diluted solution of 0.5% up to 5% is recommended. Use concentrated solution for less contact time & higher initial conditions, where as a 0.5% solution may be used for storing.

LC 255

Rust Guard

 

LC 255 is a versatile and highly effective rust preventative for use on unpainted metals during outdoor storage or overseas shipping. LC 255 protects metal with heavy waxy film. It does not require any surface cleaning or preparation and covers the metal like a paint, but easily removable.

LC 255 provides protection for storage of metal, equipment, tools, tanks, structures, machinery, castings, fittings, valves, doors, frames, fixtures, jigs, etc.

 

Application

LC 255 can be applied by spraying, brushing or dipping. It is recommended to apply by dipping in a tank with water draining facilities which ensures maximum coverage, penetration and cost effectiveness. LC 255 absorbs water and moisture while lubricating plated surfaces and bare metals such as steel, iron, alumunium, copper, brass and lead.

LC 256

Rust Killer

 

LC 256 is a concentrated blend of acids, corrosion inhibitors, emulsifiers and wetting agents that converts rust and metallic oxides into a stable and inert compound. The stable converted coat serves as a good base for subsequent re-painting.

LC 256 replaces old conventional ways of treating rusty metal surface for re-coating and is successfully used in storage tanks, workshops, factories, buildings, ship building, etc.

 

Application

LC 256 may be used by spraying or brushing. It may be applied directly following the removal of loose flaking rust. It is recommended to clean the surfaces with a wire brush prior to the application of LC 256, to achieve a good instant surface for better paint adhesion and durability. Wash down with water.

Leave for 12 – 24 hours after which time the conversion will be complete. Then, rinse again with water.
