CORROTEK® ARC/ARM

Based on current methods each product covers certain sectors with Corrotek® ARC providing excellent protection on Iron and Cast Iron containing components. However as technology improves and more tests are derived to test improvements product revisions are necessary to always provide the best possible products, please find tables below.

VIA Test (ASTM TL8135-0002), Modified Military KT method, Razor blade test (FED-STD-101 Test Method No. 3005):-
Grading for above mentioned tests:-  0 = fail (no corrosion inhibition).
                                                                1 = poor corrosion inhibition.
                                                                2 = fair corrosion inhibition.
                                                                3 = good corrosion inhibition.
                                                                4 = excellent corrosion inhibition.

The latest developments for Corrotek® range is the Corrotek® ARM. Developed around stringent criteria such as German bylaws TRGS615, Corrotek® ARM does not include any raw materials that could cause nitrosamines. Corrotek® ARC is nitrite free.

Variations

Corrotek® VCI Paper products can be supplied as a impregnated paper, effective on both sides, polycoated on one side, barrier coated on one side & high strength woven polyprop bonded on one side for tough applications.

Barrier coating (code named Corrotek® ARM/ARC BAC) keeps the paper recyclable while drastically reducing moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) & saturation.

Highest quality paper used and can be manufactured in weights ranging from 50gsm to 112gsm upon availability and orders.

In South Africa we can produce in widths up to 1600mm (Current Standard is 1220mm) and in the EU we can produce up to 3000mm widths in all variations.

Below are more comparative test results and a list of metals protected.

The immediate table above is subject to specific tests. The above results are derived from the Military spec test methods & the Razor blade methods. The VIA does not allow for as many metals to be considered hence we only conduct VIA tests on mild steel as per international norms.
