Cortec - Client Focussed

Our individual solutions are tailored to each of our individual client’s goals. MCI technology forms a protective molecular layer when it comes in contact with embedded metals within concrete, preventing corrosion and extending the service life of concrete structures. The global supply and authorised dealer network allows the Cortec technical ‘know how’ to be imparted at an early stage in the project life span. Paired with responsive customer service and an impressive turnaround time on orders, we are very well positioned to exceed your expectations.

R & D Ready

Research & development, innovation, product discovery & improvement are Cortec’s area of expertise. Cortec's R&D efforts create innovative solutions through a combination of direct knowledge, research, testing, and painstaking analysis of the end users' needs. Since 1977, this approach has led to the granting of over 60 patents with the development of over 400 different corrosion prevention products.

Underpinning this successful R & D base is the only accredited ISO/IEC – 170025 accredited corrosion testing lab in the industry. This can provide valuable testing facilities for clients looking for a more technical solution.

Corrosion Protection Technology

Innovative Solutions for Corrosion Prevention

Cortec’s corrosion protection technology is based on vapor phase corrosion inhibitors (VpCI) and MCI (Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors) technologies. Our VpCI technology creates a protective environment that prevents corrosion on metal surfaces, while our MCI technology protects reinforcing metal in concrete from corrosion. Our corrosion protection solutions are designed to provide long-lasting protection against corrosion, and our team of experts is constantly working to develop new and innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Whether it’s protecting metal surfaces from corrosive elements or preventing corrosion in concrete structures, Cortec’s corrosion protection technology is the solution you can trust.

Applications and Industries

Cortec’s corrosion solutions are utilised across a diverse range of industries, showcasing the versatility and effectiveness of our products. In the construction industry, our MCI technology ensures the durability of concrete structures by protecting reinforcing metal from corrosion. The oil and gas sector relies on our VpCI technology to safeguard pipelines and equipment from harsh, corrosive environments. In electronics, our solutions prevent corrosion on sensitive components, ensuring their longevity and reliability. Metalworking and manufacturing industries benefit from our comprehensive range of corrosion inhibitors, which protect metal surfaces during production, storage, and transportation. No matter the industry, Cortec’s innovative corrosion control technologies provide the protection needed to extend the life of critical assets and infrastructure.
