What is Corrosion?
Corrosion is a natural process which converts
most metals by either a chemical or electrochemical reaction into a stable
metallic compound such as an oxide, hydroxide, or sulfate. the rate at which
metals corrode depends greatly on the environment they are exposed to and the
amount of preventive maintenance they receive. Metals that are exposed to
marine atmospheres, moisture, and tropical temperatures have the highest rate of
corrosion.

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. |
| When moisture is present for
prolonged periods of time, corrosion cells are formed on the metal surface.
This is a typical corrosion cell in cross-section. These corrosion cells act as
miniature batteries, feeding the transfer of ions as long as oxygen-providing
moisture is present. If you remove the water from a battery it cannot function.
Likewise, if you remove the moisture from the corrosion cell, the corrosion
process will stop. Most anti-corrosion products on the market today use
compounds containing wax, resin, tar, or teflon-based material to seal the

| surface of the metal. while these
films seal the surface against further moisture, they can't separate the
moisture that already exists on and below the surface. They may actually seal
the moisture in, allowing it to continue acting as a medium for corrosion The
fact that they have sealed the metal against contact with the atmosphere, does
not stop the corrosion process.

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
1. It is a superior anti-corrosion compound.
- It kills corrosion in progress.
- It prevents new corrosion cells from forming for
12-18 months.
2. It is an excellent penetrant.
3. It is an excellent light lubricant.

Corrosion Block has the 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. |
| 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. |

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 will
protect 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 12 to 18 months before the active ingredients are consumed. |
