Frequently Asked Questions
• What exactly is Cortec Boiler Iguana and what's its primary purpose?
Cortec Boiler Iguana is a really clever, ready-to-use liquid corrosion inhibitor specifically designed for hot water boiler systems and for the wet layup of standby boilers. Its main job is to stop rust and corrosion in its tracks, protecting your valuable boiler equipment.
• How does Boiler Iguana offer superior corrosion protection compared to other methods?
It's all about its unique combination of contact and Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCIs). This dual action means it protects not only the metal surfaces directly submerged in water, but also those exposed to the air above the water level, which is a common spot for corrosion to sneak in.
• What makes the "Vapor phase" aspect of Boiler Iguana so effective?
The VpCI molecules in Boiler Iguana actually vaporize and then adsorb onto all metal surfaces within the enclosed space of your boiler, even reaching those tricky, recessed areas and internal cavities where liquid inhibitors might struggle to get to. This creates a comprehensive protective barrier.
• Is Cortec Boiler Iguana a complicated product to use, or is it fairly straightforward?
One of the best things about Boiler Iguana is how simple it is to apply. It's a ready-to-use formula, which means no complex mixing or special preparation. You simply add it to your system, and it gets to work.
• What kind of metals can I expect Boiler Iguana to protect in my boiler system?
Boiler Iguana is quite versatile when it comes to metal protection. It's specifically formulated to safeguard a range of common boiler metals, including carbon steel, cast iron, copper, brass, solder, and even aluminum.
