Typical Applications

The unique properties of this inhibitor make it an excellent choice for the following applications:

Pipe Coating

EcoLine® 3680 is highly effective in protecting both internal and external surfaces of pipes used in industries such as oil and gas, water distribution, and chemical processing. Its biobased composition forms a durable and protective barrier. This barrier shields the pipes from corrosive elements present in the atmosphere or transport media. It ensures prolonged service life and reduces maintenance costs.

Parts Storage

During transportation and storage of metallic parts, exposure to humidity and moisture can lead to corrosion and compromise the integrity of the components. By applying EcoLine® 3680 as a protective coating on these parts, manufacturers and distributors can safeguard them from corrosive damage and ensure they remain in pristine condition until use.

Wire Rope

Wire ropes are commonly used in industries like construction, mining, and marine applications. These critical components are susceptible to rust and corrosion when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Incorporate EcoLine® 3680 in wire rope manufacturing to extend their lifespan and preserve their structural integrity.

Steel Plate

In various construction projects, steel plates are exposed to open atmospheric conditions, subjecting them to potential corrosion. EcoLine® 3680 provides an effective and sustainable solution for protecting steel plates from rust and corrosion.

Machine Parts

By applying EcoLine® 3680, you can shield these machined components from corrosive elements. The inhibitor ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the machinery or equipment they are used in.
