Over half of all unplanned poweroutages are due to corrosion

CorrosionX is used by electrical utilities & distribution contractors around the world to prevent corrosion.
CorrosionX can be applied directly to rusty and damaged metal surfaces. It is ideal for in-field use to prevent or stop active corrosion in situations where it is not practical or cost-effective for your linesmen to strip back the rust to bare
steel and repaint.
Polar Bonding technology makes CorrosionX bond to metal surfaces like a magnet, driving out moisture and stopping rust in its tracks. Resistant to spray, wash-off, and heavy friction, it is very difficult to displace.
The innovative, self-healing Fluid Thin Film Coating creates the famous CorrosionX creep, driving the product into the hardest-to-reach places and providing a massive 94m2/litre of coverage, offering incredible bang for your buck.
CorrosionX comes in aerosols for easy in-field application but can also be purchased in bulk and applied with spray applicators.
SAFE REMOVAL OF TRANSFORMERS
Corrosion in electrical transformers eventually leads to oil leaks and transformer failures. An aging or failed transformer must be safely removed from site to be reconditioned, decommissioned or scrapped. Safely removing an old transformer (whether from a pole or from the ground) is challenging for linesmen. The removal process is likely to disturb transformer seals, resulting in oil leaks. This can create significant environmental and legal consequences for electrical distribution contractors.
Andax has spent decades working with leading electrical utilities in the US to perfect a containment solution that enables transformers to be safely removed, transported, and stored without the risk of oil leaks or environmental contamination.
Andax produces a range of transformer containment bags that have been specifically tailored for the Australian and New Zealand pole and ground mounted transformer fleet.

FAQ'S
Are there any harmful ingredients in CorrosionX ?
Not in the recommended application quantities. It’s one of the safest products of its kind. The SDS addresses this question further for corporate, military, or aviation concerns.
How does CorrosionX compare with wax coatings?
Wax CPC’S are designed to prevent rust/oxidation, not interrupt it. They can create problems by covering up the compromised areas, allowing it to grow underneath. Furthermore, it’s possible for moisture to penetrate through the wax and allow rust to form. Wax products are also extremely high in VOC.
Can I safely use the products for my helicopter?
You can use CorrosionX Aviation for any Aviation machines.
Can I use the products on circuit boards?
Circuit boards are a great place to apply CorrosionX . If they are corroded or have moisture causing problems, CorrosionX usually restores them.
Perfect for drones, VHF’s, fuse boxes, deck switches and aviation instrumentation.
Can you paint over CorrosionX?
No, it must be removed which isn’t easy because of polar bonding. A good solvent or “stream jenny” (if a large area is involved) is required. MEK is the best remover but use with caution because it is a carcinogen and will remove paint. Acetone is also a good choice
How much should I use?
Use sparingly. Apply just enough so that you can see it is present.
Is CorrosionX flammable?
No, but the aerosol product is combustible. In aerosols, the propellant is propane which is very flammable so caution must be used if it’s sprayed into an area where there may be sparks.
What is Polar Bonding?
This is an electrostatic attraction to metal surfaces by some of the components found in CorrosionX. Most people understand polarity because they see it all the time on battery terminals and know the colour codes that denote plus/minus. Some of the molecules present in CorrosionX have polarity and the law of attraction between positive and negatives applies.
What’s the shelf life?
The product has unlimited shelf life. Will not go hard, gunk up or develop a skin in open top containers.It will not evaporate.
Why does CorrosionX penetrate so efficiently?
This characteristic of CorrosionX is enhanced by the polar bonding along with capillary action. The product spreads until it reaches its minimum thickness and, at the same time, frees seized parts as oxides are softened up in the process. If you looked at mating surfaces under a microscope you would see “asperities” or surface roughness that appears to be similar to “microscopic mountains”, that allow creeping to take place no matter how tightly joined. These microscopic voids aid in allowing the product to travel.
Why doesn’t CorrosionX interfere with electrical connections?
CorrosionX will not interfere with electrical components even though it has an extremely high dielectric rating of 36,000 volts. The reason is that the film thickness at less than one mil is not sufficient to insulate. CorrosionX can actually enhance circuitry by lubricating switches and removing light corrosion at the same time
