CorrBlock™ is a time-released, biodegradable corrosion inhibitor block for water treatment industries and marine ecosystems. This safe-to-handle and easy-to-apply block is formulated using renewable soybean-based wax and proven Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) technology. When immersed in water, it slowly dissolves and releases a calculated amount of inhibitors required for corrosion protection, which provide multi-metal protection and are an excellent replacement for chromates, nitrites and others. In addition to preventing corrosion and pitting, CorrBlock eliminates the need for dosing pumps and tanks for conventional liquid inhibitors as well as protects tools, work-pieces and metalworking machines during downtime.

Tnemec's Series 431 Perma-Shield® PL is a high-performance, ceramic-modified epoxy lining for ductile iron and steel pipe designed for wastewater immersion and fume environments. Formulated for the most aggressive sewer environments, it offers advanced permeation, abrasion and chemical resistance. It can also withstand 2,500 psi hydrocleaning, and its light-green color makes it easy to inspect. Further, it provides low permeation to H2S gas, protects against MIC and provides chemical resistance to steel, ductile iron pipe and fittings for severe wastewater. A coal-tar free, resin-rich formulation with low pigment volume concentration (PVC) is offered for maximum performance.
