Cortec Corrosorber® absorbs sulfuric acid, reactive benzene, and other harmful pollutants in the air, thus eliminating metal degradation.
Its chemical makeup changes colour from off-white to black when corrosive gases are trapped.
Corrosorber® distinguishes itself from competing products by not impeding VpCI® protection and ensuring that the absorbed gases are permanently immobilised. This irreversible reaction minimises concerns about potential post-contamination because the gases are not discharged back into the environment.
Packaging & Storage of Cortec Corrosorber
Corrosorbers are sticky polymer objects with a permeable surface. They have a 2.3" (5.8 cm) width and a height of 1.27" (3.2 cm). Each piece has been meticulously wrapped and a maximum of 10 are offered per box.
Corrosorber emitters should be stored in their original packaging inside, away from direct sunlight, and between 40- and 100-degrees Fahrenheit (4 and 38 degrees Celsius) for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
• What exactly is Corrosorber Liquid, and what makes it unique for preventing corrosion?
Corrosorber Liquid is a specialized corrosion inhibitor from Cortec that works by creating a molecular barrier against elements like moisture, oxygen, and various pollutants, effectively preventing corrosion on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It's a concentrated solution that's particularly adept at scavenging corrosive gases.
• How does Corrosorber Liquid manage to protect even those hard-to-reach metal surfaces?
This innovative liquid utilizes VpCI® (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) vapours, which are designed to migrate and reach all exposed metal surfaces within an enclosed space, ensuring comprehensive protection even in intricate or recessed areas.
• What types of metals can benefit from Corrosorber Liquid's protective properties?
Corrosorber Liquid is formulated to protect a wide array of metals, including common ones like steel, cast iron, copper, brass, aluminium, and even galvanised steel. This broad applicability makes it incredibly versatile for various industrial uses.
• What kind of corrosion does Corrosorber Liquid specifically target and combat?
This powerful formula is designed to combat a range of corrosion types, including uniform corrosion, pitting, stress cracking, and galvanic corrosion, offering robust and multifaceted protection.
• How long can I expect Corrosorber Liquid to provide protection for my equipment or materials?
When used indoors and under typical conditions, Corrosorber Liquid can offer effective protection for up to two years, making it a reliable solution for long-term storage or preservation needs.
• Is Corrosorber Liquid environmentally friendly, and are there any concerns regarding its use?
Yes, Corrosorber Liquid is designed with environmental responsibility in mind; it's considered environmentally friendly, non-flammable, and VOC-free, minimizing concerns about its impact during application and use.
• Does Corrosorber Liquid leave any residue or alter the appearance of the metal it protects?
Corrosorber Liquid dries to a clear, non-toxic film, which generally does not affect the appearance or conductive surface of the metals and typically doesn't interfere with subsequent painting, meaning no extra cleaning or stripping is required.
• How is Corrosorber Liquid typically applied to achieve effective corrosion protection?
Corrosorber Liquid offers flexible application methods; it can be applied by dipping the metal parts, spraying the liquid onto surfaces, or even using emitter pads for a more diffused protection.
• When is the ideal time to apply Corrosorber Liquid for maximum effectiveness?
For optimal results, it's recommended to apply Corrosorber Liquid at the earliest possible stage, ideally even before shipping or receiving, to ensure continuous protection from the outset.
• Can Corrosorber Liquid be used in conjunction with other corrosion protection methods, like VpCI emitters?
Absolutely, Corrosorber Liquid is designed to work synergistically with other Cortec VpCI® technologies, such as VpCI®-105 or 111 Emitters, enhancing overall corrosion protection by both absorbing corrosive gases and forming a protective molecular layer.
• How does Corrosorber Liquid contribute to the protection of internal void spaces in equipment or packaging?
When used to "fog" or "mist" void spaces within containers, tanks, or export crates, the VpCI® molecules from Corrosorber Liquid readily migrate to protect all metal surfaces within that enclosed area, replacing older, more labor-intensive preservation systems.
• In what kinds of industrial settings is Corrosorber Liquid particularly beneficial for equipment preservation?
Corrosorber Liquid is highly beneficial for equipment preservation in diverse industrial settings, including short-term protection during manufacturing processes, long-term warehouse storage, and in challenging coastal environments where corrosion is a significant concern.
• Can Corrosorber Liquid be used to protect valuable items during their storage or transit?
Yes, it's an ideal solution for safeguarding valuable items, particularly metals, during storage and shipping, ensuring they remain in pristine condition upon arrival or retrieval.
• How does Corrosorber Liquid assist in controlling corrosion within geothermal power plants?
In geothermal power plants, Corrosorber Liquid can be injected into the water or steam at the wellhead to effectively scavenge hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mercaptans, and other sulfur compounds, thereby reducing the corrosiveness of the incoming fluids and protecting turbines and other plant components.
• What role does Corrosorber Liquid play in the condenser sections of geothermal plants?
As steam cools and collects in the condenser, adding Corrosorber Liquid at this stage helps to remove even more H2S, contributing to a less corrosive environment for the equipment.
• What are the key benefits of using Corrosorber Liquid compared to traditional corrosion inhibitors?
Corrosorber Liquid has been proven in tests to outperform traditional inhibitors, offering enhanced protection, ease of application, and the significant advantage of not requiring removal or cleaning before the protected parts are put into use.
• Does Corrosorber Liquid offer any cost or time savings in industrial processes?
Indeed, the use of Corrosorber Liquid can lead to substantial long-term savings in both cost and time by eliminating extra processing steps like degreasing, rust removal, or re-protection, and by extending the life of equipment.
• How does Corrosorber Liquid ensure that metals are immediately ready for use after protection?
The protective, invisible layer formed by Corrosorber Liquid's VpCIs does not need to be removed; parts are instantly ready for processing, installation, or use, streamlining workflows and reducing downtime.
