Zerust Corrosion Solutions

Zerust® AxxaWash™ Cleaner and Degreaser series consist of low foaming* aqueous cleaner and degreaser products that are specifically designed to quickly and effectively remove light to heavy-duty hydrocarbon soils typically encountered in metalworking and metal finishing operations. This series will include alkaline and neutral pH products uniquely formulated to suit customer and part-specific requirements based on substrate type, soil type, methods and parameters of application, as well as cleanliness levels and corrosion inhibition requirements.

Zerust® Axxatec™ 30C can be applied via spray or immersion and leaves a clear protective coating after drying. It is safer and more economical to use than solvent-based systems. Axxatec™ 30C is designed for use on ferrous metals but may provide some protection to other metals such as copper, brass, bronze. Test before use on non-ferrous metals. Do not apply to aluminum parts. Depending on the situation or application, Axxatec™ 30C may also be used as a light-duty cleaner-rust preventative combination product.

Zerust® Axxatec™ 30C is a water-based rust Inhibitor that’s conveniently offered as a liquid concentrate and may be diluted per the application. For large volume product users requiring detailed, customized product operating & maintenance guides, please contact your assigned Zerust®/Excor® sales representative for further information.

Zerust® Z-PAK® VCI packets emit a specially formulated VCI chemistry that quickly saturates and lands on metal surfaces located in the enclosure/packaging with the Z-PAK®. This molecular thin, temporary layer of VCI chemistry protects the metal surfaces from corrosion. Since the VCI chemistry is gaseous, hard-to-reach areas of the metal components – such as unobstructed inner surfaces, are also protected from corrosion when a sufficient amount of the VCI chemistry lands on them. Once the metal components leave the enclosure/packaging, away from the Z-PAK®, the VCI chemistry on the metal surfaces volatilizes into the air. The molecular thin layer of VCI chemistry, even when present, will not affect the physical, chemical, or structural properties of the protected metal surfaces. Your customers can work on painting, coating, welding, processing, and/or assembling the metal parts immediately upon receiving them at the facility from the shipment/storage.

Z-PAK® must be used inside an enclosure with limited airflow in order for the product to be effective. A few typical uses of Z- PAK® are:
• Use together with Zerust® ICT® plastic packaging for more robust corrosion protection – e.g., reduce corrosion risk for highly sensitive metals, provide better VCI diffusion in tightly stacked metal parts inside the packaging, etc.
• Inside sealed or obstructed voids that the Zerust® ICT® packaging is not able to protect.
• In enclosures of large equipment that requires targeted corrosion protection for specific areas.

Note: Z-PAK® VCI diffuser chemistry is designed to be used for ferrous metal (Carbon Steel, Silicon Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron) surfaces. In certain situations, Z-PAK® may be used for metal components containing limited yellow metal/parts but check with your Zerust® Account Manager before doing so.

* Z-PAK® VCI diffuser chemistry is designed to be used for ferrous (Carbon Steel, Silicon Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron) metal surfaces. In certain situations, Z-PAK® may be used for metal components containing limited yellow metal/parts (Aluminum, Zinc (Galvanized Steel), Copper, Brass, Phosphorus Bronze), but check with your Zerust® representative before doing so.
