What is Oxifree?
Oxifree TM198 is a sprayable polymeric resin coating for the protection of metallic components.
It contains corrosion inhibitors, is
reusable and provides protection against all corrosive contaminants with
the key commercial advantage of remaining extremely easy to apply and
reuse. In addition Oxifree TM198 contains under 0.5% Volatile Organic
Compounds(VOCs) therefore has no adverse ecological or environmental
impact.
What does it do?
When applied by a simple heated application machine it provides a pliable polymeric barrier coating, which will protect all types of metal components against galvanic pitting and atmospheric corrosion. Oxifree is designed to create a barrier for a range of vulnerable equipment and components from water and dust ingress. It is ideal for flanges and valves on process piping, and long term storage of equipment in normal atmospheric conditions, with a key commercial differentiator of being reusable.
The application machines have undergone extensive development and testing and come in several different sizes but from 5kg to 100kg capacity units to cater for a total range of application criteria.
Testing:
Oxifree material has been thoroughly tested to 11688 hours of "industry standard" Salt Spray test, which complies with ASTM B117 corrosion testing which is equivalent to in excess of 50 years ‘in the field'. Oxifree has also been through ASTM G56 UV/Weathering test and again exceeded required longevity with ease.
