Corrosion Resistance with Rust Prevention Oils

Corrosion is a natural property that converts a manufactured metal into its natural oxidation state. It is the gradual destruction of metals by chemical and/or electrochemical reactions due to contaminants or electrolytes and water. Corrosion occurs due to a variety of reasons such as metallurgy, humidity, temperature changes, residues, etc., and the reaction on the surface. For this reason, there have been great developments in the industrial sector of rust preventive oils that ensure the coated material is safe from corrosion and has a longer life span.

What is Rust Protection Oil?

The anti-rust oil is a specialized oil that is formulated to protect the metal surfaces and provide a barrier from entities that might cause corrosion. The polarity of the oil ensures that external substances are not affecting the surface much, and it creates a film on the surface. This is what rust preventive oils are.

What kind of protection is needed on the metal surfaces?

The kind where a protective layer is standing between the external atmosphere or elements and the metal surface. That barrier is created with the help of oils to prevent rusting due to oxygen, moisture, and other natural causes. This kind of oil is used for the protection of metals like ferrous, copper, aluminum, galvanized steel, and corrosive metals. This anti-rust oil is used to prevent a direct hit on the metal surface and keep the parts corrosion-free. Zavenir Daubert is well-known for supplying the best quality oils to prevent rusting on all types of metal surfaces.

How is Anti-Rust Oil useful?

In metals like aluminum, a thin layer of aluminum oxide forms over the surface of the metal, which act as a protective barrier. This barrier does not flake off like rust does, which prevents further corrosion of the aluminum. Whereas in ferrous metals, only iron oxide is formed, and rusting takes place either in the iron itself or in steel. In the presence of moisture & oxygen, iron undergoes a chemical or electrochemical reaction and forms iron oxide. When rusting occurs at one place of metal, it gradually spreads on the complete metal. Therefore, a protection layer is required, and the solution is the application of anti-rust oils.

In manufacturing industries, the metal parts are needed to be transported from one part to another part of the globe, where they are assembled into the final product to sell. During this duration, the metal parts are prone to rust before even reaching the destination. This is where the usage of oils to prevent rusting is crucial. Aside from that, VCI packaging (Volatile Corrosion Inhibition) is also used for the protection of metal parts from corrosion. VCI is often used in combination with anti-rust oil for maximum effect of corrosion protection. Zavenir Daubert has been analyzing problem areas and providing promising solutions to prevent corrosion. Let us see how Zavenir Daubert has solved corrosion issues.

Areas where Rust Protection Oil are necessary

1. Power Stations: Internal corrosion protection for turbines, steam boilers, cooling systems, fuel vessels, switches, connectors, gears, and hydraulic systems can ensure smooth working, reduced downtime, and greater power generation with low maintenance. NOX-RUST 1100 and NOX-RUST 9800 are some of the products by Zavenir Daubert that are utilized best here.

2. Petrochemical Plant: This kind of plant needs the best protection for spare parts in storage. A good combination of Daubert VCI and oil to prevent rust, such as NOX-RUST 2737 and water-based SAFECOTE A, can help with that. Also, the equipment remains in top shape with proper corrosion protection, and no failure in systems is likely to occur.

3. Oil Refinery: Having equipment, machines, and containers that are likely to corrode might result in loss of quality in refineries and failure of systems. But proper oiling is also avoided as it is an oil refinery but can utilize alkaline cleaners for regular cleansing for longer life.

4. Gas Storage: Storage of Gas is required to be carefully done in huge, fabricated vessels and storage tanks. But these storage units are susceptible to corrosion from inside as well as outside. In case such weakness occurs in the tanks, there is a high risk and possibility of gas leakage. Some of the Zavenir Daubert rust preventive oil and other products are used for the inside and outside coating of such tanks and other facilities like piping systems, valves, and flow control systems.

5. Onshore Production: Various facilities at large distances are connected with huge pipeline systems. These pipelines consist of complex flow systems managing quantity and direction. Only specialized Zavenir Daubert oils to prevent rust and VCI liquids can help preserve the inside of the pipes with complete safety.

6. Automotive Industry: Automobile manufacturers manufacture various parts like engine components, body, fuel tank, chassis, etc., and assemble them to make a complete vehicle. From the manufacturing of these parts to assembly, it takes time. It is not necessary that the manufacturing of parts and assembly location are the same; sometimes, it is cross border or cross sea.

Since this is a long manufacturing and supply chain process, there is always a risk of corrosion on parts during manufacturing, shipping, and storage. Corrosion on parts may lead to failure of vehicle performance. Corrosion can happen at any stage and on any part of the vehicle, either on the machine part or body. Resulting in accidents and casualties.

NOX-RUST range of rust preventive liquids are suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous components like cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods, pins, etc., to protect from rust.

NOX-RUST VCI liquids are suitable for closed systems such as fuel tanks, storage tanks, cylinders, transmissions, gear housings, clutch compartments, crankcases, hydraulic and cooling circulating systems. It is also used for fogging into shipping cases to protect unpainted auto and truck body sections during shipments.
