ZERUST® Zerion™ FAN-6
PROTECTION OF FERROUS METALS
CORROSION PROTECTION
ZERUST® Zerion™ FAN-6 is a non-hazardous, environmentally friendly soluble corrosion inhibitor (SCI) powder engineered for corrosion protection in aggressive environments. It is especially well-suited for use under storage tanks, where its more alkaline pH range helps mitigate corrosive and acidic species. ZERUST® Zerion™ FAN-6 can be used to supplement volatile/vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) to provide additional coverage. It is also ideal for use as a top dressing as it can be welded over.
In addition to tank applications, ZERUST® Zerion™ FAN-6 is effective for pipeline preservation, bulk water lay-up, fire water protection, and rinse water to reduce flash corrosion. It offers versatile, economical, and long-term corrosion protection for both immersion and rinse applications.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Under-tank environments
- Tank internals protection
- Pipeline preservation
- Bulk water lay-up
- Fire water systems
- Rinse water corrosion control
- Temporary system shutdowns
- Hydrostatic testing
- Sprinkler system lay-up
- Welding operations
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 VCIs for extended airspace protection
- Non-hazardous and environmentally friendly, ensuring sustainable corrosion protection
- Economical solution for a wide range of applications
- Withstands high-temperature environments: Suitable for top dressing applications, including use around asphalt tanks and welding areas, without requiring removal.
Application Guidelines and Removal
General Use: Use ZERUST® Zerion™ FAN-6 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.
Under-Tank Application: ZERUST® Zerion™ FAN-6 can be used at higher concentrations within this range to enhance alkalinity and combat acidic or corrosive conditions often found in tank pad environments.
