Hot! — Corrosion Inhibitor Cm352 Portable
Corrosion inhibitor CM352
is a specialized consumable material primarily used in the aviation industry for protecting propeller components. It is frequently specified in service documents from Hartzell Propeller Inc. for the maintenance of steel counterweights. Application and Usage
Safety and Handling: Portable vs. Bulk
- Touch-dry: 15–30 minutes (solvent evaporation).
- Full protection: 1–2 hours.
- Film appearance: Clear, amber-tinted, slightly oily/tacky.
- Film thickness: Typically 2–5 microns.
- Removal: Wipe with mineral spirits, kerosene, or alkaline degreaser.
The Scenario:
A geothermal power plant in Iceland experienced rapid corrosion on turbine control valve stems due to hydrogen sulfide and high humidity. The plant is located in a remote valley, and bringing in bulk chemicals is expensive. corrosion inhibitor cm352 portable
- Effective Corrosion Inhibition: The device successfully prevented corrosion on metal surfaces, even in harsh environments with high humidity and salt exposure.
- Non-Toxic and Non-Flammable: The CM352 Portable uses a non-toxic and non-flammable technology, making it safe for use in confined spaces and around personnel.
- Visual inspection: uniformity, runs, missed areas.
- Water beading test: shows hydrophobic film presence.
- Salt fog / chamber test (for qualification): 24–96+ hours depending on target protection.
- Electrochemical tests: polarization or EIS for detailed passivation evaluation.
- Simple field test: leave treated and untreated coupon of same metal in exposure location and inspect after set interval.
