New biobased scale and corrosion control

Cortec introduces a new biobased building block that effectively fights scale and corrosion in cooling towers or closed and open loop recirculating cooling systems. S-14 Bio is 91% biobased and environmentally friendly. This green additive is a combination of powerful scale inhibitor and high multi-metal corrosion protection. S-14 Bio protects carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, and other nonferrous metals while providing anti-scaling control. This building block is based on low molecular weight natural polymer components, Generally Recognized as Safe substances, and food-approved preservatives.

S-14 Bio is non-toxic and readily biodegradable, offering an environmentally friendly solution to conventional water treatment products. The readily biodegradable product is effective in a variety of open and closed systems at low dosages. S-14 Bio also incorporates Cortec's proprietary Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibiting Technology offering unique advantages over conventional chemicals.

S-14 Bio is tested against generic antiscalants such as phosphonates, polyacrylates, and polyaspartic acid measuring the levels of corrosion protection in liquid, vapor, and water-air interphase of a cooling system. Compared to the conventional antiscalants that provided limited corrosion protection, S-14 Bio showed excellent protection for all metals tested. S-14 Bio is compatible with most common water treatment programs. It is available in 5-gallon containers, 55-gallon metal drums, 275-gallon liquid totes, and bulk.
