Is your vehicle prone to electrolysis corrosion?
Patented since 1998, Eck® (Electrolysis, Corrosion Kontrol) is a protective coating designed to prevent corrosion of dissimilar metals. By creating a barrier, it keeps moisture out, and absorbs natural corrosive energy.
Eck® is a petroleum-based, dielectric, and zinc-rich solution designed to prevent galvanic corrosion, magnesium chloride corrosion, calcium chloride corrosion, rust, and fastener seizing. It creates a barrier between two metals, such as aluminium and stainless steel, preventing a process called electrolysis occurring, also known as galvanic corrosion. Eck® never fully dries, creating a seal that effectively keeps moisture away.
Why is corrosion prevention crucial?
Is corrosion shortening your equipment’s lifespan, or causing operational issues? A study from The University of Edinburgh estimated that corrosion and wear, cost the UK economy approximately £80 billion each year.
Metal corrodes when it reacts with another substance such as metal, water, or even dirt. Corrosion poses a problem across all industries, from manufacturing equipment to commercial vehicles. Machinery or vehicles exposed to harsh conditions deteriorate rapidly as metal corrodes, presenting a costly problem.
Eck® provides the ultimate corrosion solution, eliminating the need for barrier tapes, coated hardware, or spacers and washers. It offers a superior protective coating suitable for painted surfaces. By working as a dielectric grease, it can also be used with electrical connectors. Rigorously tested both in the field and in labs, Eck passed a 4,000-hour test.
As simple as 1,2, 3
1. Creates a barrier between metals
2. Absorbs natural corrosive energy
3. Seals out moisture
