SuperCORR A multitasking lubricant and corrosion protection spray solving problems across industry
Originally developed for the U . S . Air Force to comply with MIL L-87177A , as a water displacing lubricant , corrosion protective to prevent avionic as well as electrical and electronic components and systems failures caused by corrosion SuperCORR A aerosols , supplied by EnviroTech Europe , are now the industry standard for in service maintenance by military and commercial airlines and MRO facilities worldwide .
SuperCORR A is a unique formulation with a long-lasting , anti-corrosion inhibitors and components providing a superior lubrication coefficient and protection against moisture , wear , general and fretting corrosion , static electricity , corona , and other electro migration problems . The non-flammable lubricant film is only 7 microns ( 0.0007 inch ) thick and is formulated without sulphates , chlorides or halogens to meet the EU RoHS directive . It is unexcelled in preventing deterioration and contamination of all electronic equipment and metal components surfaces .
SuperCORR A is very effective at preventing corrosion of electronic and electrical equipment in demanding work environments , e . g . aerospace , rail and road transport , marine , oil and gas industries , waste water treatment plants , electrical power facilities , paper and pulp mills , and other environments where corrosive gases such as salt laden air or hydrogen sulphide are present .
A major aerospace and turbine manufacturer are currently completing trials with SuperCORR A to protect parts in transit and storage worldwide under variable temperature and humidity conditions , to prevent corrosion during long term storage and transportation . The protective film is self-sealing during movement and handling and can be removed before use if necessary .
SuperCORR A is used for routine lubrication and anticorrosion maintenance in the harsh conditions experienced at sea . The aerosol cans make access to engine parts easy for the engineering crew in difficult locations and conditions . Unpainted mild steel will not rust on exterior surfaces directly exposed to sea water spray for at least 6 months protecting electrical connectors , switches , chains , drive shafts from corrosion while maintaining lubrication on moving surfaces .
In another interesting application SuperCORR A protects the metal edges of the composite blades on wind turbines . These are subject to continuous corrosive effects of wind , rain and salt laden sea spray which erodes and corrodes the metal . The protective film produced by SuperCORR A is impervious to water while lubricating the airflow across the blade edges and preventing corrosion of the metal .
Critical fall arrest equipment is used on wind turbines and other tall structures where engineers are working at great height and exposure to high winds , Corrosion in the bearings , chains , clutches and wires used in the arrester mechanisms can lead to failure and potentially serious injury or loss of life . SuperCORR A protects against corrosion in these safety critical components .
Portable diesel and LP generators are widely used in construction , oil , gas and mineral extraction industries and aircraft servicing often in remote , hostile environments connecting and disconnecting supply cables , often many times a day . Seals prevent water , sand or dust
entering connectors , but the flexing of the cables allows sufficient movement between the metal surfaces of the connector pins to produce fretting corrosion . A simple spray between connections ejects water and particulates and protects and lubricates the contacts improving reliability of supply .
Building and construction industries offer other unusual uses for SuperCORR A . Unpainted hatches , grilles , and window furniture are galvanised if manufactured in steel and anodised if aluminium or a zinc alloy . Once installed exposure to wind and especially acidic rain dulls surfaces and produces unsightly white surface corrosion . An onsite spray with SuperCORR A on completion of the installation protects the surfaces with an invisible film .
In all forms of transportation from Amtrak trains , lightweight rail systems and for protection of equipment and services for underground tunnels and systems . Trucks to motorsport , electric cars and emergency vehicles SuperCORR A is used for protection and lubrication of connectors , electrical systems and switches and mechanical controls during servicing . The ability to displace water from exposed contacts can ensure reliable operation in extreme conditions all in one small aerosol can .
