Everything 
You Need to 
Know
In his book Rust: The Longest War, famous American journalist and non-fiction 
writer Jonathan Waldman calls rust a "pervasive menace", "the great 
destroyer," and "the evil". The book sheds light on the catastrophic damage 
caused by rust which ranges from cars, bridges, ships, and houses to historical 
monuments. 
Rust, a type of corrosion, has been a major cause of machinery failure and 
expensive damage worldwide. Not only is rust unsightly, but it is highly 
destructive to the structural integrity of the metal. Destroying the functionality 
and stability of critical machinery and assets, rust can cost businesses 
thousands or even millions. Employing the right set of rust-preventative 
measures is crucial to reduce the risk of serious problems and to preserve the 
integrity of the structures. As with many things, applying a few rust-
preventative measures to your machines, equipment, or metallic surfaces 
upfront can save lots of money, time and troubles down the road.
What is Rust?
Rusting is one of the most common forms of corrosion that can lead to severe structural 
deterioration. In scientific terms, it can be explained as an electrochemical process that 
results in the disintegration of metallic material into its constituent atoms. Typically 
appearing as a red, brown or orange flaking or pitting of the metal surfaces, rust spreads 
rapidly and can corrupt the surrounding metal parts as well.
The rusting process begins with oxidation - a reaction that occurs when iron comes into 
sustained contact with oxygen present in water, salt water, acids or any other harsh 
chemicals. The free oxygen bonds react with iron, forming iron oxide, which manifests as 
an orange powder (rust) on the metallic parts. A few factors, such as saltwater, acids, and 
airborne sulfur compounds, act as catalysts to the oxidation process, accelerating rust 
formation. Once rust forms on metal, its porous surface exposes new iron molecules, 
expediting further corrosion and causing the entire metal structure to disintegrate.

Rust Preventives Available

Rust Preventives from Cortec
Corrosion prevention and anti-rust treatment are integral 
for metals used in environments exposed to various factors 
like water, high humidity, mist and salt content. A 
comprehensive range of rust preventives available from 
Cortech can provide an optimal solution to protect ferrous 
metals from rust and corrosion. Cortec's high-performance 
solutions include Electricorr®-239, VpCI®-391, VpCI®-386, 
VpCI®-369, VpCI®-368, CorrVerter®, VpCI®-337, VpCI®-377 
and VpCI®Super Penetrant. Whether it is about removing 
rust from electronic circuits or using a primer on rusty or 
poorly prepared steel surfaces, Cortec's extensive range of 
rust preventives covers it all. 
How Does Rust Treatment 
Work
Rust removers and rust preventives from Cortec 
are easy to use and deliver quick results. Rust 
inhibitors delay oxidation and mitigate corrosion 
by blocking electrolytes like water and salts from 
coming into contact with the metallic surface. 
However, not all rust removers or preventives are 
the same, as their effectiveness and results vary 
from surface to surface. So, choosing the right 
product or treatment is essential based on the 
severity and complexity of the rusted area and 
your expected results.
An effective rust treatment strategy saves your time and money and reduces the 
likelihood of damage and safety risks. Developed through industry-leading 
expertise and innovative technology, Cortec's range of rust preventives makes it 
easy for you to maintain, store and protect metal equipment from corrosion and 
damage. To learn more about anti-rust treatments and decide which one is right 
for your needs, get in touch with the Cortec team.
