Technical Details & Test Data

Corrosion Testing Using Decore Be
  • Metal Panel Submersion Test
  • DeCORE BE was tested at 0.5% by weight in hard water and/or distilled water on cold rolled steel panels for six months.
  • The bottom half of the metal panels were submerged in the test solutions.
  • The top half of the panels were exposed to the vapor phase. Panels on the left did not contain inhibitor.
