Corrosion protection for electronics systems in sewage treatment plants
Corrosion protection for electronics systems in sewage treatment plants
Electrical control systems in sewage or water treatment plants operate in highly corrosive environments due to constant exposure to moisture, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and other aggressive gases. Without adequate protection, components can fail prematurely, leading to downtime and safety risks.
Corrosion is an insidious and costly problem that causes just about every metal and metal alloy to fail over time. Metals in electrical and electronic control systems, components, connectors, and switches are of most concern. To combat this, engineers are increasingly turning to specialized corrosion inhibitors and protective coatings.
These solutions form a barrier against corrosive agents while allowing electrical systems to function reliably. Enclosures rated for harsh environments, combined with regular maintenance and smart material choices, further enhance system longevity. Implementing effective corrosion protection measures will safeguard operations and extend the lifespan of vital control systems in water treatment infrastructure
With proper corrosion protection, satellite components are less likely to deteriorate, lose functionality or break off, thereby reducing the risk of creating additional space debris and supporting sustainability in orbit. Corrosion-resistant materials and protective coatings like Super CORR A help protect metal and electronic equipment against corrosion and help to minimize the risk of degradation, lowering the frequency and cost of maintenance. Corrosion protection is fundamental to space industry operations, preserving both the physical integrity of the space-based structures and the success of the missions they enable. This is especially vital as the industry moves toward more ambitious projects.
Specialist corrosion protection for electronics in moist environments
EnviroTech Europe produce and supply around the world advanced corrosion protection products, based on approved synthetic materials, to provide quality solutions to a diverse range of lubrication and corrosion problems.
Super CORR A is a “self-healing” ultra-thin film water displacing lubricant with long-lasting, anti-corrosion inhibitors providing a superior lubrication coefficient and protection against moisture, wear, general and fretting corrosion, static electricity, corona, and other electro migration problems. The non-flammable film is only 7 microns (0.007mm) in thickness, will not harden or crack, is not a wax or oil-based product and is formulated without sulphates, chlorides or halogens.
Super CORR A has a proven performance record in protecting electrical components, systems, connectors and electronics. The coating will also prevent the ingress of moisture and other contaminants onto the connector surfaces.
Removal of surface contamination from the metallic contact surfaces on switches and circuit breakers is essential to ensure fault free operation. An inert compound that neither reduces nor increases the electrical conductivity, Super CORR A ’s unique formulation lifts and removes dust and soils from the metal contact surfaces. It also provides long term protection from corrosion and electrical arcing that can lead to shorts and subsequent circuit failures. The aerosol spray is supplied with a flexible tube applicator which allows the protective coating to be applied accurately even in difficult to get to places.
EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL
- Extremely long-lasting, specially formulated and proprietary anti-corrosive inhibitor.
- Eliminates premature failure of components created by moisture, general or fretting corrosion.
- Prevents deterioration and contamination on all surfaces of electronic and electrical equipment and mechanical close tolerance moving components.

Co-solvents for electronics cleaning
Co-solvent cleaning enhances the solubility of contaminants and improves efficiency and performance
What is co-solvent cleaning?
Co-solvent cleaning is a powerful and versatile vapour degreasing process that uses a combination of two solvents to clean a variety of substrates. Particularly useful in electronics cleaning, this process is a safe and efficient way to remove organic and mineral residues from solder fluxes and pastes.
The co-solvent cleaning process uses a mixture of the solvating agent (Topklean EL20A) and a rinsing agent (ProSolv®IPA) in the first cleaning stage, followed by just the rinsing agent in the second stage. Excellent for applications where solubility, material compatibility, sustainability and regulatory compliance are important. Perfect for cleaning circuit boards, semiconductors, avionics, and optical instruments. Co-solvents will help to dissolve contaminants that a single solvent alone may struggle to remove by modifying the overall polarity, viscosity, and evaporation rate of the cleaning solution.
High quality and versatile co-solvents from EnviroTech Europe
Topklean EL20A is designed to clean solder paste deposits, fluxes and other residues in the production of PCBs, offering excellent cleaning capacity and a very low environmental impact. Designed for use in a co-solvent process to remove residues and leave the surface free of organic and inorganic deposits.
ProSolv®IPA is an environmentally friendly azeotropic solvent cleaner – Ideal for removing adhesives, buffing compounds, drawing oils, fluxes and pastes, greases, hydraulic oils, lapping compounds, resins, inks, silicone oils, and waxes, ensuring thorough and efficient cleaning.
Non-flammable and stable throughout the refluxing of the system, it is ideal for applications such as light surface contamination cleaning, fingerprint removal, tank flushing, dust particle cleaning (metallic, glass or plastic) and precision rinsing. Use Topklean EL20A in conjunction with ProSolv®IPA to enhance cleaning and drying performance.
The co-solvent cleaning process for electronics cleaning
Increasing demand for miniaturized electronic assemblies has led to greater challenges in the parts cleaning process, and manufacturers need to solder with greater precision to avoid problems like corrosion and short circuiting. Co-solvent cleaning enhances the solubility of contaminants, improves efficiency and performance, and helps remove difficult soils which often require high temperatures. Perfect for cleaning small components, high density PCB’s or boards populated with very low stand-off components.
A Simple 3-Step Process
Cleaning: Parts are immersed in the boiling sump, which contains a blend of Topklean EL20A and ProSolv®IPA. The low viscosity of the mixture allows for the cleaning of small components and high-density PCB’s.
Rinsing: Parts are rinsed in the clean sump of the vapour degreasing tank, which is filled with ProSolv®IPA. With the co-solvent process,
re-deposition of soils is minimized.
Final stage: Components are moved into the vapour zone for drying, without the need for expensive high-temperature ovens. The entire process is done automatically and under a sealed lid. EnviroTech Europe also supplies vapour degreasing equipment like the Solvac S2 which is perfect for co-solvent cleaning.

Satellite Corrosion Protection
How corrosion protection is being used in the space and satellite industry
Corrosion protection in the space and satellite industry is crucial to prevent degradation of materials in extreme environments. Spacecraft and satellites encounter extremely challenging conditions, such as intense radiation, atomic oxygen, and rapid thermal cycling, all of which accelerate corrosion and material degradation. Effective corrosion protection ensures structural integrity, longevity, and functionality of components, instrumentation and other space infrastructure.
Space and satellite industry structures are designed to operate in highly aggressive and unforgiving environments, where even minor degradation can lead to mission failure or loss of functionality. Corrosion can weaken structural components, making them vulnerable to fractures, cracking, and complete structural failure over time. Satellites and spacecraft also carry vital electronic communication, navigation, imaging, and research equipment. Electronic Corrosion can lead to the failure of critical systems, such as antennas, sensors, solar panels, and propulsion units. Corrosion increases the chance of component fragmentation, leading to debris that contributes to the growing problem of space junk. Without robust corrosion protection, materials might degrade prematurely, shortening the lifespan of the equipment.
With proper corrosion protection, satellite components are less likely to deteriorate, lose functionality or break off, thereby reducing the risk of creating additional space debris and supporting sustainability in orbit. Corrosion-resistant materials and protective coatings like Super CORR A help protect metal and electronic equipment against corrosion and help to minimize the risk of degradation, lowering the frequency and cost of maintenance. Corrosion protection is fundamental to space industry operations, preserving both the physical integrity of the space-based structures and the success of the missions they enable. This is especially vital as the industry moves toward more ambitious projects.
Advanced corrosion protection for the space and satellite industries
Super CORR A is a unique and proprietary formulation with long-lasting, anti-corrosion inhibitors providing a superior lubrication coefficient and protection against moisture, wear, general and fretting corrosion, static electricity, corona, and other electro migration problems. The non-flammable film is only 7 microns (0.007mm) in thickness, is not a wax or oil-based product and is formulated without sulphates, chlorides, petroleum-based material, or halogens, to meet the EU RoHS directive.
The use of Super CORR A for corrosion prevention can not only bring financial savings in reduced maintenance and replacement costs but more importantly greater safety. It is very effective at preventing corrosion of electronic and electrical equipment in demanding environments.
Super CORR A is a “self-healing” ultra-thin film lubricant with a proprietary corrosion preventive compound that will not harden or crack, is not a wax or oil-based product and is formulated without sulphates, chlorides or halogens.
Super CORR A is packaged in aerosol cans making application to component parts easy for engineering crews in difficult locations and conditions.
EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL
