One such coating is Super CORR A advanced lubricant and corrosion inhibiting compound, based on approved synthetic materials, to provide quality solutions to a diverse range of lubrication and corrosion problems. 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.
Conclusion:
The importance of aircraft corrosion protection cannot be overstated. It is a fundamental aspect of aircraft maintenance that ensures safety, economic viability, regulatory compliance, and environmental sustainability. Effective corrosion control measures are integral to maintaining the integrity and performance of aircraft, ultimately supporting the reliability and efficiency of the aviation industry.
SuperCORR A Specialist barrier film corrosion protection for aircraft
EnviroTech Europe supplies 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 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 protection can not only bring financial savings in reduced maintenance and replacement costs but more importantly greater safety. It is much simpler and a lot less costly to prevent corrosion than to repair or replace the damaged equipment or component that failed because of corrosion.
Super CORR A is a non-flammable “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 also inhibits corrosion caused by exposure to both fresh and salt water moisture as well as the corrosive vapours from Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Ammonia (NH3), and Chlorine (CL12) based gases found in the aircraft industry.
Super CORR A is packaged in aerosol cans making application to component parts easy for engineering crews in difficult locations and conditions. Unpainted mild steel will not rust on exterior surfaces directly exposed to sea water environments for at least 6 months, protecting electrical connectors, switches, chains, drive shafts from corrosion while maintaining lubrication on moving surfaces.
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.
- Reliability increased, maintenance intervals increased and costs reduced, manufacturers save costly warranty service calls or product re-call.
HISTORY
Super CORR A was originally developed for the U.S. Air Force to comply with military specifications and to prevent electrical and electronic components from systems failures caused by corrosion. It became the industry standard for avionic corrosion protection within MROs (maintenance, repair and operations) and OEMs (overhaul and original equipment manufacturers). It’s unique ability to displace water and provide a performance enhancing level of corrosion protection has led to it being used in many other applications and industries worldwide.

ProSolv®5408e vapour degreasing solvent cleaner for flushing refrigeration pipeline systems
Vapour degreasing solvent cleaner for flushing refrigeration pipeline systems
Concerns connected with the challenging environmental profile of traditional refrigerant gases have led to changes in legislation which are a driving factor in phase-outs and bans on the use of some gases to remove the older materials typically with high ozone depletion (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP). Systems can be replaced or refurbished with new models using compressors able to use more sustainable and acceptable gases. The evolving trend to newer refrigerants continues as the chemistries develop. The refrigerant R-22, which itself was an improvement over earlier refrigerants, is phased out and replaced with R-410a and other alternatives based on HFOs are being marketed.
Retrofitting of current refrigeration systems to accommodate the new developments is not straightforward as most refrigerant gases are not cross-compatible, so the necessity to completely remove all traces of the older versions from the system, including refrigerant lines is essential.
Of course, where possible it’s best simply to replace existing lines with new ones. However, it’s not always possible to do this cost-effectively, especially when the old piping runs under floors or through walls. In such cases thoroughly flushing existing pipework is especially important because even tiny traces of impurities left in the lines can damage new equipment and lead to compressor failure.
THE PERFECT SOLVENT FOR FLUSH CLEANING REFRIGERATION PIPEWORK
Your first step to proper pipework flushing is to select the right solvent. The solvent you choose must be highly effective at dissolving oil grease and other contaminants, to ensure that all residue is removed from the pipes and must be sustainable, environmentally friendly and comply with current legislation.
ProSolv 5408e is the ideal solution to this problem with a profile of properties and advantages making it perfect as your solvent of choice for refrigerant pipeline flushing.
• No flash point Non flammable liquid.
• High specific gravity gives a high soil suspension loading.
• High solvency strength with a KB value of 98.
• Powerful cleaning agent that can flush lines fast, dissolving oil and grease releasing soils from the inner surfaces of pipelines and fittings
• Volatile for fast evaporation. Removing ALL solvent from the pipework after flushing is vital, very volatile so evaporates fast.
• Environmentally responsible. ProSolv 5408e is sustainable and kind to the environment with very low global warming potential, zero ozone depleting potential (ODP).
• Safe for operators when user conditions are followed.
• Economical as it is easily distilled for reuse. No testing or stabilisation required.
PROCEDURE FOR FLUSH CLEANING REFRIGERANT PIPELINES WITH ProSolv®5408e
Of course, simply replacing old piping is the only way to be 100 percent sure that your lines are clean. But in retrofit situations where complete replacement is not possible, flushing the lines with ProSolv 5408e solvent is the best alternative solution for the protection and long working life of your refrigeration system upgrade.
1 – Remove any obstacles. Any equipment and components such as valve, filters and expansion valves that might obstruct the line should be removed prior to the purge.
2 – Pre-flush. This will dislodge any loose debris from the sides of the lines enabling more effective use of the solvent, oil free air or nitrogen at 120 psi is recommended. It’s also good practice to oscillate the pressure to encourage dislodging of debris.
3 – Preparing the pipework. Reducing the length of piping can be more effective due to the pressure loss in long lengths. Section the operation into 15 metre lengths by cutting pipes where necessary. One end of the pipe must be fitted with a connector for the pipe to the nitrogen supply while the exit needs a restrictor valve to allow variable pressures to shock loose particles from internal walls.
IMPORTANT – Flushing with solvent. Refer to ProSolv 5408e Safety Data Sheets for advice on operator protection using solvents.
4 – Safe working. Full PPE with suitable eye protection goggles and gloves must be worn. Solvent fumes are heavier than air and exposure levels can easily be reached working in pits or enclosed spaces. Always institute a ‘buddy system’ and use air fed face masks with attached line.
5 – Delivering solvent. Use a drum pump electric or hand operated with a flexible tube connection for delivering the solvent to the open end of the pipe or tubing to flush the internal surfaces. Using a fresh drum of ProSolv®5408e connect drum pump and the delivery tube to the end of pipe/tube to be cleaned using a pre-fitted screwed or compression fitting.
6 – Drainage and Testing. The drainage end of the pipe or tube should be fitted with a flexible tube into a tank or drain sump allowing samples to be taken in a glass bottle or tube at regular intervals to be sure when no particles or soils are being expelled. The colour of the solvent will change as oil and soluble contaminants are removed and flushing must continue until the flow is totally clear and water white.
7 – Post-flush. ProSolv 5408e solvent is volatile so will dry completely using an oil free airline or nitrogen supply connected to the end of the cleaned pipe/tubing.
8 – A wipe of the pipe/tubing surface at the inlet and outlet using solvent saturated lint free cloth completes the cleaning. If not connected immediately to other parts of the system enclose both ends of cleaned item to prevent recontamination.
Used ProSolv 5408e should not be reused for flushing but can be recovered for reuse by a simple distillation process. Removal from site should use licensed disposal companies.

Corrosion protection – Reduce fretting corrosion
Corrosion protection – SuperCORR A helps to reduce fretting corrosion on gas turbine connectors.
LP Gas Turbines are used throughout the world by extraction industries and manufacturing plants in remote and hostile locations for essential power production. Dusty and wet environments in deserts, mines, grinding mills, pulp and paper mills and on land or sea drilling rigs for gas and oil production. Turbines powering aircraft services while stationary connect and disconnect many times a day in extreme conditions. These applications and locations test connector sealing continuously allowing dust or water to penetrate. This with the flexing of the connecting cables allows sufficient movement between the metal surfaces of the connecting pins to produce fretting corrosion which reduces, interrupts or produces failures in supply. Regular maintenance of electrical connectors is essential to be certain of uninterrupted supply.
RUB TEST RESULTS
Super CORR A is an aerosol lubricant containing corrosion preventive compounds.
A manufacturer of connectors tested Super CORR A to see what the “life” of the lubricant was in a “rub test”. The typical test is 20,000 cycles, i.e. unplug, plug in is one cycle. The test results demonstrated that after 20,000 cycles there were no failures. It was decided to take it one more step and run the same tests for 200,000 cycles. The results again showed no indications of galling or scoring on the connectors at all. The connector looked and tested as good as new. This test was run under clean conditions in a laboratory but demonstrates the effectiveness Super CORR A.
As it meets Mil MIL-DTL-87177B (revised MIL-L-87177A) specifications it is used by the U.S. Air Force to protect the intricate workings of the F-16 and F-15 fighter jets and by the U.S. Navy on the P 3 Orion electronic surveillance aircraft. Savings for the U.S. government is estimated at $50 million per year. Commercial Aviation aircraft manufacturers recommend it for avionics and electrical switches and connectors and close mechanical application, especially where flights are in salt fog or high humidity.
Containing extremely long-lasting, proprietary anti-corrosive inhibitors Super CORR A provides a superior lubrication coefficient and protects components against moisture, wear, general and fretting corrosion, surface static electricity, corona, and other electromigration problems. The super thin non-flammable lubricant film is only 7 microns (0.007mm) thick and is formulated without sulphates, chlorides or halogens to meet the RoHS directive. It is unexcelled in preventing deterioration and contamination on all surfaces of electronic equipment.
Very fast drying, environmentally acceptable solvents are used as carriers and propellants which will not affect most plastics, substrates, metals or other materials used in connector manufacture. The aerosols are supplied with probes which allow access to pins and connector tubes where the low surface tension repels water, dirt dust and metal particles from blind holes and surfaces to produce thoroughly clean holes and surfaces before a second application applies the lubricant film. Reconnection to the supply with cleaned sections of the connector ensures reliable operation even in the most testing of environments. One can of Super CORR A allows this essential task to be carried out in any conditions quickly, easily and securely.

Methylene chloride based vapour degreasing solvent with a unique blend of surfactants giving it superior cleaning quality
EnSolv® CC-A is a methylene chloride based vapour degreasing solvent with a unique blend of surfactants giving it superior cleaning quality
EnSolv® CC-A responds to the need for high performance vapour degreasing solvents for critical cleaning in general engineering, aerospace, medical optical and electrical industries. It builds on 30 years of experience supplying the EnSolv® range of powerful and reliable vapour degreasing solvents to industries worldwide
EnSolv® CC-A removes cutting oils, lubricants, lapping compounds grinding pastes and water based cutting oils or fluids. This complex synergistic blend utilises environmentally compliant solvents combined with selected surfactants to remove oils and lubricants to the highest standards for critical cleaning applications and releases and suspends inorganic solids and soils such as fingerprints, polishing compounds and grinding paste from finely finished and highly polished surfaces such as stainless steel and plated parts, optical lenses and components for medical appliances.
SAFE FOR USERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmentally friendly cleaning all the constituents of EnSolv® CC-A are environment friendly and compliant with REACH. This proprietary blend has no global warming potential (GWP) no ozone depletion potential (ODP) does not produce ozone at ground level and is biodegradable. EnSolv® CC-A addresses many of the problems faced by the engineering industries in meeting environmental legislation.
Easily biodegradable all the components of the EnSolv® CC-A formulation are widely used in industry but only trace elements have been detected in atmosphere and they are not detectable in rivers, oceans or ground water. This is attributed to its high volatility and biodegradability by naturally occurring organisms. Released into the atmosphere it is photochemically degraded reacting with naturally occurring hydroxyl radicals producing only carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride simple chemicals already present in the environment.
No depletion of the ozone layer and no global warming. EnSolv® CC-A has an atmospheric lifetime of only 6 months and does not accumulate in the atmosphere so is not transported into the ozone layer. The most urgent challenge for the future is reduction of gases which produce global warming. The solvents and any breakdown products of this formulation do not produce greenhouse gases and the reduced energy needs of vapour degreasing with EnSolv® CC-A lower the power station production of CO2 for equivalent work throughput.
No ground level ozone production – authorities are becoming increasingly concerned at ground level pollution causing increased asthma and bronchial diseases much of it due to photochemical production of Ozone affecting children and adults. EnSolv® CC-A has a minimal impact on ozone formation with an extremely low photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP).
Reduced solvent emissions (VOCs). Improving air quality is a high priority for the European Union and governments worldwide with the elimination of VOCs as a high priority. The use of EnSolv® CC-A with its excellent environmental profile assists the engineering industry to meet increasingly severe environmental legislation on solvent emissions allowing continued use of vapour degreasing with all the production benefits it offers.

Eliminate bad smells using unique concentrated water based cleaning system
Aquus® CL-One is the ALL purpose concentrated cleaning system based on an innovative formulation of surfactants which also controls odours and will eliminate bad smells at source.
The unique combination of properties exhibited by Aquus CL-One offers excellent emulsion-breaking capability in addition to its unusual combination of properties that makes it so attractive for a wide range of industrial applications including an unusual application which is discussed below in more detail, utilising these properties to control odours and eliminate bad smells at source.
CONTROL ODOUR BY ELIMINATING UNPLEASANT SMELLS AT SOURCE
Aquus CL-One eliminates odour problems caused by bacteria and other organisms. No fragrance or other masking agents are used, the odour is very effectively eliminated at source. Conventional masking agents use fragrances or enzymes which act slowly and are less effective and more expensive than the Aquus CL-One alternative which uses a totally different approach to these problems.
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR ODOUR CONTROL
Odour control is needed where cleaning is performed in food preparation, processing equipment and containers, sewage treatment plants and in other waste-water facilities.
VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Aquus CL-One breaks down the organic compounds responsible for the release of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) producing the unpleasant smells associated with some commercial and industrial processes and systems.
Aquus CL-One eliminates the ability for bacteria to produce the odour producing VOCs by disrupting the integrity of the cell walls. Odour producing microorganisms have cell walls made up of organic materials including lipids (fats). The alkalinity and surface-active ingredients of the Aquus formula breaks down the cell walls of the organism which protect the inner workings. Once compromised the bacteria can no longer absorb nutrients and eliminate waste. This kills the organism which then cannot generate the VOCs which produce the smells.
ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER METHODS
Aquus CL-One has considerable advantages over the toxic, fragrance or enzyme based alternative odour control products which only mask the smells. Enzyme based formulas need regular maintenance to keep the enzymes active and work slowly. Masking agents are usually ineffective and expensive.
Aquus CL-One eliminates completely the odours and smells associated with these organic materials including bacteria and other organisms simply and effectively.
ENGINEERING WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Aquus CL-One is extremely effective in separating oil, water, and solids in drains, conveyor traps and sumps on automatic honing, turning and grinding machines when using water-based lubricant and cooling liquids.
Emulsions are broken allowing cleaned metal dust, shavings and dirt to precipitate to the bottom, the solution of Aquus CL-One and water retains the active cleaner in the middle layer, oil and grease float to the top. The efficiency of oil/water separators in plant waste treatment systems are significantly increased while the disposal of toxic waste is greatly reduced.
FARMING AND AGRICULTURE
Farming and agriculture require reliable water-based cleaners for the innumerable cleaning applications needed particularly where animal husbandry is involved. Scrupulous cleaning of surfaces on rails, floors and walls is essential for the health of the animals. The unique bacterial destruction abilities described earlier is very effective in odour control in many farming applications
Aquus CL-One is the concentrated water activated cleaner which is used at different dilutions to meet the requirements of the many applications and challenges met in farming and agriculture. Aquus CL-One which is completely biodegradable within 30/40 days, is not toxic and not considered a hazard which is particularly important in sensitive environmental sites and situations. Safe for use with any application equipment such as high or low-pressure washers, spray washers or dip tanks it can be used with mops, brooms etc by operators without needing personal protective clothing.
The unique combination of oleophilic and hydrophilic properties encourage sedimentation of solids from liquids in wastewater separation tanks and as the cleaner solution can be recycled and reused until biodegradability reduces its effectiveness it is very economical in use. As an example, in normal use a one litre bottle is mixed with 40 litres of water to activate the cleaning solution which in turn can be recycled many times.
HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE
Cleaning of soiled and contaminated surfaces in hospitals, nursing homes and other medical facilities is essential to control bacterial contamination. Aquus CL-One cleaner can be used for all cleaning applications which reduces time and costs by removing the need for multiple cleaning products usually needed to deal with the challenges presented by the wide range of soils, oils, blood, body liquids and other contaminants which need to be removed.
Aquus CL-One is safe for the environment and users, contains no solvents and is biodegradable within 30 days. With only one product for all cleaning applications incorrect selection or dangerous uses can be avoided.
