New Design for Line of Air-Powered MRO Spray Products



Cortec Corporation offers a revamped EcoAir line of surface prep and rust prevention products packaged in eco-friendly bag-on-valve spray cans.

"These cans are powered by air rather than traditional flammable propellants and contain some of Cortec's most popular corrosion solutions," said a company spokesperson. The EcoAir line includes options for biobased rust removal, water-based void space protection and water-based cleaning/degreasing with flash rust protection. EcoAir Tool & Die, the newest addition to the line, is a rust preventative developed for easier application and cleanup in tool and die applications.

The new EcoAir package design and labeling make it easy for users to know how each product is applied and whether it is intended to "Clean," "Protect" and/or "Preserve" metals. The portable cans are convenient for maintenance personnel, production employees or preservation specialists to use for a variety of cleanup, rust removal and rust prevention activities around the shop, on the production floor or in remote preservation conditions where electrical-powered application equipment may not be an option.

The redesigned EcoAir line includes:

  • EcoAir BioCorr Biobased Rust Preventative
  • EcoAir 325 Tool & Die Rust Preventative
  • EcoAir 337 Void Space Rust Preventative
  • EcoAir 377 Multi-Metal Rust Preventative
  • EcoAir 414 Cleaner/Degreaser
  • EcoAir 422 Rust Remover
  • EcoAir 423 Rust Remover (gel for vertical surfaces).

EcoAir Tool & Die Rust Preventative is easy to spray on for protection of expensive molds. "Unlike other rust preventatives that workers must clean off with solvents, EcoAir Tool & Die does not need to be removed before the mold is used," said the spokesperson.

"EcoAir BioCorr and EcoAir 377 offer advantages over traditional oil-based and greasy rust preventatives," continued the spokesperson. "These two EcoAir products provide biobased and/or water-based rust prevention by leaving an unnoticeable dry protective film on metal surfaces. The two rust preventatives are easy to remove if necessary and promote a cleaner work area overall."

For void spaces where it is often challenging to protect hard to reach metal surfaces, EcoAir 337 Void Space Rust Preventative can be fogged inside before shutting the enclosure. Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors will diffuse throughout the space and form a protective molecular layer on the metal surfaces. "This is an easy way to protect intricate equipment internals or add a quick protective spray to a crate full of metal parts," said the spokesperson.

EcoAir 422 and 423 Rust Removers are two biobased options for cleaning rust off of metal surfaces. "Both allow rust removal in 15-30 minutes without the harshness of other chemicals on the market. After rust removal, or simply during routine maintenance, EcoAir 414 Cleaner/Degreaser is easy to spray on for a quick surface rinse that includes flash rust protection," said the spokesperson.
