A university in New York used a 30% calcium chloride brine solution in cooling systems at its ice arena. Unfortunately, the high chloride concentration was causing carbon steel components to corrode at a rapid rate. By adding M-605 PS to the brine solution at 0.5%, the university was able to reign in corrosion rates to an acceptable level. Due to the success of the additive, the ice arena continued using M-605 PS in its cooling system for ongoing corrosion protection.

The Middle East client wanted to leave balance and ballast testing water in mooring buoys during export shipping to the Mediterranean. They decided to add VpCI®-649 BD to the fresh water used and were very happy with the solution. In this way, they were able to satisfy their corrosion protection needs during wet layup without fouling or degrading the corrosion inhibitor system.
