Cortec’s new system containing biobased yet efficient products are a safe alternative to hazardous petroleum derived products sold in EU by Fuchs, Castrol, BRANOpac, EXCOR, Bantleon, and others. This latest launch in Central Europe will make the whole system more accessible and cost efficient for European customers. Cortec’s clients will have ready to use products available immediately from warehouse in Split enabling time and money savings.

BioCorr® is a water based, ready to use formulation intended for preservation of metals in storage and during transportation. Formulated with renewable raw materials BioCorr contains 64% biobased content. It provides multi-metal corrosion protection by combining film-forming additives with Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCIs). This biobased product not only has superior performance when compared to conventional rust preventatives, but also enables huge costsavings.

BioCorr provides protection for up to two years of indoor storage or during shipments. Unlike rust preventative oils it leaves a dry film on the surface of the metal that is virtually undetectable. This feature helps to create a clean workplace and prevent material waste.

BioCorr is used for protection of machines and equipment, pipes, flanges, gears, cast iron, sheets, and coils; and as temporary coating for storage and shipment. It will be available in quantities according to European Union Measure Standards. The product will be packaged in 5, 10, and 20 ltr pails as well as 200 ltr drums. It has received registered trademark approval from EU’s Office of Harmonisation.
