The World's Most Advanced Protective Coatings




 
  AVIATION           
  DO NOT IGNORE
THESE WARNING SIGNS:

Corrosion along rivet lines

Corrosion around
antenna base

Corrosion inside airframe		  

" We were impressed with this product's ability to keep bug splats and exhaust stains from sticking to paint"

"RejeX is a surface treatment developed by Corrosion Technologies Corp., the same company responsible for the CorrosionX anti-corrosion system that we've recommended in previous reports."

  
 
According to FAA statistics, the average general aviation aircraft is
more than 30 years old. As airplanes get older, the likelihood that they suffer from airframe corrosion increases dramatically.

The symptoms may not be noticeable until the damage is done.

Corrosion is an insidious process that, over time, eats away at airframes. You might say corrosion is to your airplane what termites are to your home. It will consume metal and it is nothing more than metal's predisposition to return to its natural state as an oxide.

The corrosion process requires all the elements of a battery - an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte and a path of current flow. Your airframe contains three of these elements. TO MAKE CORROSION, JUST ADD WATER!

There are many anti-corrosion products on the market. Most of them are one form or another of old-technology: waxy barrier coatings or passive sealants. Increased applications over time add weight and can actually hide flaws that may progress unseen.

Unlike barrier coatings, CorrosionX Aviation is an active Fluid Thin Coating (FTFC) technology that interrupts the corrosion process in two ways. It DISPLACES THE MOISTURE and PREVENTS THE TRANFER OF ELECTRONS from anode to cathode.

Penetrating at 4/10,000", every molecule of CorrosionX Aviation is "charged" positive or negative to POLAR BOND with the metal it contacts. Between this capillary action and "magnetic" attraction, it goes everywhere moisture can go, assuring you complete protection for 2 full years.

LUBRICANT - PENETRANT - ELECTRONICS PROTECTION

CorrosionX Aviation lubricates better than products fortified with Teflon* and it's the perfect product for cables, locks and hinges, as well as cannon plugs, micro switches, antenna bases, circuit breakers and connectors - any place where electrical or electronic connections might be subject to moisture or saltwater damage.

 



PIPER FLYER
" RejeX is an advanced polymer coating that seals painted and unpainted metal, glass, plexiglas and gel coat surfaces against various stains that include exhaust gases, oil grease, tar and bugs.

I picked my worst and most offensive case
first... my horse trailer.
...the nose of the trailer remained predominately bug free! What few bug carcasses had clung to that stainless steel nose section were quickly washed away with a moderate stream of water.
The next day I ran to the hangar and put a coating of RejeX on the airplane.

I will use RejeX on all the moving stock that we own that regularly collect bug impacts. RejeX is good stuff."

    QUESTIONS & ANSWERS        
  How much will it cost to have my airplane treated with CorrosionX? The price varies by region, but for a single engine airplane, the cost should range between $250 and $400. The bigger and more complex the airplane, the higher the cost. Contact one of our Northwest Treatment Centers for a specific quote. These are listed by state and highlighted blue on the DEALER PAGE  
  How long does the treatment take and how long does it last? The treatment takes two hours for a single or light twin. We recommend that aircraft be treated every other year, ideally at the time of annual inspection.  
  Why use CorrosionX instead of the old, traditional products? The US Military has tested all types of anti-corrosion products under real-world conditions. They are very impressed with the performance of CorrosionX, and its use by the military and other government agencies continues to grow very quickly. CorrosionX simply works better. It is the only product qualified under the Mil-C81309E, Type II that's not a barrier coating.  
  Should I treat my airplane before or after painting? After painting. CorrosionX is petroleum-based and paint will not adhere over it. Following treatment, we recommend one year before painting.  CorrosoinX can be removed for spot painting using a good solvent.  
  Will CorrosionX harm paint, acrylic , plastic, etc.? No. It will not stain or etch paint, nor will it harm plastic, acrylic or rubber. The only exception is butyl (natural) and silicone types of rubber, which may swell when subjected to CorrosionX. A good rule of thumb is that, if a material is affected by fuel or oil, CorrosionX should be used with caution.  
  Will CorrosionX harm electronics? No. In fact, CorrosionX is an excellent product for keeping switches, plugs, connectors, etc. free of corrosion that interferes with their functioning. CorrosionX can often restore the functioning of components that have stopped working because of corrosion.  
  Is it true that CorrosionX can loosen rivets? No. The only way to loosen a properly-gripped rivet is by removing metal around it. If a rivet becomes loose after a CorrosionX treatment, it's because the rivet was surrounded by corroded metal. In that sense, CorrosionX has made you aware of what could be a serious corrosion problem.  
  Can I treat my airplane myself? People with a high level of mechanical skill sometimes do. For a thorough treatment, we strongly recommend that our well-designed and affordable Handi-Spray equipment be used. For most people a visit to one of our more than two hundred Treatment Centers nationwide (11 in the Northwest) is the best course of action. Highly skilled mechanics, with proper training and the right equipment, will accomplish the job quickly and thoroughly.  
  Is it true that CorrosionX will seep out of my airplane? After a proper treatment, you will see evidence of the product coming through lap seams and around rivets and screws. That seepage is evidence that CorrosionX is doing its job; its pushing moisture out of those tiny spaces and protecting them against future corrosion. CorrosionX is harmless to the paint, and can be wiped off easily.
