VCI RPA 4800 BIO
RUST-X RP ADDITIVE – VCI RPA 4800 BIO is a water-soluble rust preventive additive designed to provide multi-metal corrosion protection in water systems. When water deposits on metallic surfaces, it creates high moisture content that leads to corrosion. Traditional heating methods used to dry the water are slow and expensive. RPA 4800 BIO prevents inter-process corrosion by converting water into a corrosion-protective medium.
The product is suitable for leak testing, hydrotesting, cooling water systems, boilers, heat exchangers, cutting oil tanks, wet layup applications, fire fighting systems, storage tanks, and pipeline protection. It provides effective corrosion inhibition even at low concentrations and forms a transparent solution after dilution.
RPA 4800 BIO is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-toxic at recommended use levels, and safe for use with ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, aluminum, and brass.
