Flagship corrosion preventive compound now qualified under the U.S. military's benchmark specification for low-VOC corrosion protection
GARLAND, TEXAS — Corrosion Technologies, manufacturer of the CorrosionX line of corrosion prevention products, today announced that its flagship formula, CorrosionX (red label), has been qualified to MIL-PRF-16173E, Class II, Grades 2, 3, and 5.
The qualification confirms that CorrosionX meets the U.S. Department of Defense's performance requirements for low-VOC corrosion preventive compounds across three distinct film types in a single formula: Grade 2 soft-film protection for machinery, instruments, and bearings; Grade 3 water-displacing protection for corrodible surfaces exposed to water or saline intrusion; and Grade 5 low-pressure steam-removable protection for applications requiring fast, thorough film removal. Class II status confirms the formula's VOC content falls at or below 2.8 pounds per gallon, meeting the specification's low-VOC threshold.
Qualifying under three grades simultaneously distinguishes CorrosionX from single-grade competitors in the corrosion preventive compound category and reflects the versatility that has defined the product since its introduction to aviation, marine, and industrial markets.
The qualification is particularly relevant for naval and shipboard applications. The liquid formulation of CorrosionX carries no flammability classification under GHS, with a flash point of 290°F, and is classified Non-Hazardous/Non-Restricted for road, sea, and air transport under DOT, IMDG, and IATA regulations. CorrosionX is also safe for use on electronics and electrical connections, where it displaces moisture, prevents corrosion, and cleans contact points without disrupting sensitive equipment. As an established brand, CorrosionX is readily available through distribution networks across the United States and in many countries worldwide, supporting fleet maintenance wherever vessels are stationed or deployed.
"This qualification validates what our customers in aviation, marine, and defense have relied on for years," said Anthony Iannarelli, President of Corrosion Technologies. "CorrosionX was engineered to perform across a wide range of applications without compromise, and having that versatility confirmed against the government's own standard is a significant milestone for our company.”
CorrosionX is available through industrial distributors, aviation MRO suppliers, marine retailers, and directly through corrosionx.com.
