The lack of effective steel corrosion protection has already caused numerous accidents involving bridge structures and commercial and residential buildings. This list also includes large pipelines, companies with extensive steel structures, and steel tanks. These issues lead to countless damages, not only financially but also for humanity as a whole.
Steel corrosion protection is crucial for a business’s structural and commercial survival. A leak caused by poor maintenance, resulting in serious damage due to inadequate steel corrosion protection in pipelines, tanks, or other equipment, not only causes immeasurable harm to nature but also inflicts irreparable moral damage on the company’s reputation.
INTERNAL STEEL CORROSION PROTECTION WITH WATER-BASED PRODUCTS
Companies needing to protect the internal parts of their pipelines require a more specific steel corrosion protection solution. For this, VCI Brasil offers its V-active technology with water-based fluids that provide protection in both the liquid and vapor phases. Depending on the industry, MVAqua 250 or MVAqua 300 is recommended for internal pipeline protection. These products are dermatologically, orally, and inhalation-tested.
Widely used in oil and gas industries, sugarcane mills, offshore platforms, agribusiness, and other sectors, the MVOil V-active fluid line is highly suitable for steel corrosion protection in outdoor environments.
Structures in these industries face much harsher conditions, exposed to weather elements, compared to those in enclosed spaces. Therefore, they require steel corrosion protection that provides not only a chemical barrier but also a strong physical barrier.
Oils are ideal for this type of protection because they form waxy antioxidant films—such as those created by MVOil 800—that allow parts to be exposed outdoors for up to six months, thixotropic antioxidants like MVOil 807, and oily antioxidants like MVOil 802 and 808.
CORROSION PROTECTION IN WOODEN CRATES
VCI Brasil offers a range of solutions, tailored to each client’s needs. An excellent option for transporting metal parts with protection is the Woodactive coating for anticorrosive treatment of wood, featuring V-active technology. This is ideal for companies using wood as packaging material to transport goods. The liquid is applied directly to the wood, ensuring that as long as the parts remain in the crates, they are protected.
