Cortec M 528/528L are hydraulic fluid additives used in subsea operation management systems and other water-based processes.

They prevent corrosion in steel, bronze, copper, galvanised steel, brass, aluminium, and other ferrous/non-ferrous alloys and metals. M 528 and its variant (528L) prevent rusting in vapour and contact phases.
M 528L includes a supplementary grease package.

Features

  • Stable in water systems with 6pH level or above.
  • Dissolves in oils, alcohol, water, and glycols but incompatible with hydrocarbon solvents.
  • Non-phenolic.
  • Suitable with Seawater.
  • Thermostable.
  • Non-hazardous and safe for the environment.
  • Successfully assessed in an IP287-compliant Ethylene Glycol/water mixture with or without seawater input.
  • The Ethylene glycol/water fluid containing M 528L has good anti-wear capabilities, according to Falex test results.
  • Biodegradable.
  • Complies with HOCNF environmental regulations.

Application

  • As Hydraulic additives in subsea manufacturing control systems.
  • Cutting and synthetic cooling fluids.
  • Industrial/production cooling towers.
  • Lubricants (Water-based only).
  • Aerosol formulations.
  • Alkaline metal cleaners.
  • Fluid additive to Radiators.
  • Drilling muds (Water based only).
