Corrosion Block is the marine version of ACF-50. It is a state-of-the-art, anti-corrosion compound specially formulated to perform in the extremes of the marine environment. Corrosion Block has five superior features:
1. It is a superior anti-corrosion compound.
2. It kills corrosion in progress.
3. It prevents new corrosion cells from forming for 24
months.
4. It is an excellent penetrant.
5. It is an excellent light lubricant.
Corrosion Block can be described as a clean, clear, ultra-thin fluid which leaves a non-greasy atmospheric barrier to protect the base metal on interior surfaces. Corrosion Block leaves no gummy residue because it contains no wax, resin, tar, asphalt, silicone or teflon. It can be sprayed, or wiped on with a damp rag. Corrosion Block will actively penetrate the corrosion on the surface of the metal, and, in the process, isolate it electrically from the base metal. Once the Corrosion Block has penetrated into the corrosion cell, it displaces and/or emulsifies and encapsulates any moisture present in the cell and bringing it to the surface where it evaporates. Corrosion Block then fills the cell, with a 40 KV dielectric barrier to prevent further moisture contact with the base metal for up to 24 months.
Applying Corrosion Block is easy. Simply spray it on the area to be protected until it appears to be shiny. You don't need to saturate the entire surface as you do with some other products. Corrosion Block has a strong capillary action and will spread into the smallest crevices, leaving an ultra-thin film.
Corrosion Block's ability to remove moisture, combined with its excellent penetrating and strong dielectric properties, have brought a number of electronics "back from the dead" with just one application. The Corrosion Block removes the moisture from the corrosion byproduct, then isolates the corrosion by-product from the electrical circuit. Corrosion Block can be used in many different electrical and electronic applications without fear of damage. And it won't harm any plastics or painted surfaces and is actually good for rubber, keeping it from cracking and drying out.
We recommend you apply Corrosion Block during your regularly scheduled maintenance and monitor the length of protection your equipment receives. Exactly how long Corrosion Block's protection will last depends on a number of factors. Because Corrosion Block forms such an ultra-thin film, surfaces which are subjected to frequent rubbing or washing will have a relatively short re-application cycle. However, on protected internal surfaces, one application of Corrosion Block will provide protection for 24 months before the active ingredients are consumed.
Finally, Corrosion Block is virtually non-toxic and cleans up easily from hands, clothes and painted surfaces with soap and water.
1. THE CORROSION PROCESS: When moisture is present for prolonged
periods of time, corrosion "cells" are formed. These cells act as
miniature batteries, feeding the transfer of electrons as long as any
oxygen-providing moisture is present.
2. WAXES RETAIN WATER: Most corrosion inhibitors contain sealants such as wax, tar, asphalt, teflon or silicone that lay on top of the corrosion cell. Because of their thick composition, they cannot remove the electrolyte and may actually seal it in, thereby encouraging corrosion.
3. CORROSION BLOCK IS APPLIED: Corrosion Block can be applied by
spraying, fogging or simply wiping it on with a shop rag.
4. CORROSION BLOCK PENETRATES THE CORROSION BYPRODUCT: Corrosion
Block's ultra-thin formula easily pentrates the entire corrosion cell.
5. CORROSION BLOCK EJECTS THE ELECTROLYTE: The encapsulated and
emulsified electrolyte is ejected from the corrosion cell and replaced with
Corrosion Block.
6. NO ELECTROLYTE-NO CORROSION: Corrosion Block acts as an
insulator, terminating the electrolytic process for 24 months!

Corrosion Block Goes to the Movies
During the shooting of WaterWorld©, special effects and
lighting crews discovered that the combination of high humidity and high
temperatures on the Big Island of Hawaii were very destructive to their
equipment. They experienced repeated electrical and electronic failures due to
corrosion. According to one crewmember, once they began using Corrosion Block
their corrosion problems were a thing of the past. They used it on all of their
electrical connections ashore as well as on the floating set. They sprayed it
on all of their brass propane connections as well as inside their hand-held
radios and had excellent results. In short, Corrosion Block saved them a great
deal of time and money.
Special effects and lighting crews on the set of Titanic© used Corrosion Block to fight the ravages of salt water
on their equipment and were very impressed with its performance. With thousands
of electrical connections, light bulbs, lamps, diffusers and delicate electronic
equipment being subjected to the worst corrosion environment imaginable,
Corrosion Block proved its worth. The production crew estimates that for every
dollar they spent on Corrosion Block, a savings of $21.50 in damaged or
destroyed equipment was realized. Plus, the amount of time the crew spent on
daily maintenance was significantly reduced.
Corrosion Block is available in the following sizes. Please call for pricing information.
