ZERUST® Zerion™ FAN-5

PROTECTION OF FERROUS METALS 

CORROSION PROTECTION

ZERUST® Zerion FAN-5 is a non-hazardous, environmentally friendly soluble corrosion inhibitor (SCI) powder designed to protect ferrous metals by dissolving into water to create an alkaline environment that neutralizes acidic species. This inhibitor is ideal for applications such as pipeline preservation, bulk water lay-up, fire water protection, and rinse water to reduce flash corrosion. ZERUST® Zerion FAN-5 offers versatile, economical, and long-term corrosion protection for both immersion and rinse applications. 

Typical applications

  • Pipeline preservation
  • Bulk water lay-up
  • Fire water systems
  • Rinse water corrosion control
  • Temporary system shutdowns
  • Hydrostatic testing
  • Tank internals protection
  • Sprinkler system lay-up

 

key advantages

  • Neutralizes acidic species and creates an alkaline environment
  • Provides long-term corrosion protection
  • Effective at low concentrations (0.5%–10%), depending on water quality, performance needs, and lay-up duration
  • Suitable for both immersion and rinse applications
  • Compatible with potable water and can be combined with volatile/vapor corrosion inhibitors for extended airspace protection
  • Non-hazardous and environmentally friendly, ensuring sustainable corrosion protection
  • Economical solution for a wide range of applications

 

Application Guidelines and Removal

Use ZERUST® Zerion FAN-5 at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 10%, depending on the quality of the water, the desired level of corrosion protection, and the expected duration of lay-up.

Consult a ZERUST® representative to discuss specific needs.
