DO
NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS.
» Corrosion along rivet lines
» Corrosion around antenna base
» Corrosion inside airframe |
According
to FAA statistics, the average general aviation aircraft
is more than 30 years old. As airplanes get older,
the likelihood that they suffer from airframe corrosion
increases dramatically. The symptoms may not be noticeable
until the damage is done. |
Corrosion is an insidious process that,
over time, eats away at airframes. You might say corrosion
is to your airplane what termites are to your home. It will
consume metal and it is nothing more than metal's predisposition
to return to its natural state as an oxide.
The corrosion process require all the elements
of a battery - an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte and a
path of current flow. Your airframe contains three of these
elements. TO MAKE CORROSION, JUST ADD WATER!
There are many anti-corrosion products
on the market. Most of them are one form or another of old-technology,
waxy barrier coatings, passive sealants. Increased applications
over time add weight and can actually hide flaws that may
progress unseen.
Unlike barrier coatings, CorrosionX Aviation
is an active Fluid Thin Coating (FTFC) technology that interrupts
the corrosion process in two ways. It DISPLACES THE MOISTURE
and PREVENTS THE TRANFER OF ELECTRONS from anode to cathode.
Penetrating at 4/10,000", every molecule
of CorrosionX Aviation is "charged" positive or negative
to POLAR BOND with the metal it contacts. Between this capillary
action and "magnetic" attraction, it goes everywhere moisture
can go, assuring you complete protection for 2 full years.
LUBRICANT - PENETRANT - ELECTRONICS PROTECTION
CorrosionX Aviation lubricates better than
products fortified with Teflon* and it's the perfect product
for cables, locks and hinges, as well as cannon plugs, micro
switches, antenna bases, circuit breakers and connectors -
any place where electrical or electronic connections might
be subject to moisture or saltwater damage. |

"We
were impressed with this product's ability to keep bug
splats and exhaust stains from sticking to paint."
"RejeX is a surface treatment
developed by Corrosion Technologies Corp., the same
company responsible for the CorrosionX anti-corrosion
system that we've recommended in previous reports."
— The Aviation Consumer |
"RejeX
is an advanced polymer coating that seals painted and
unpainted metal, glass, plexiglas and gel coat surfaces
against various stains that include exhaust gases, oil
grease, tar and bugs.
I picked my worst and most offensive
case first... horse trailer.
...the nose of the trailer remained predominately bug
free! What few bug carcasses had clung to that stainless
steel nose section were quickly washed away with a moderate
stream of water.
The next day I ran to the hangar and put a coating of
RejeX on the airplane.
I will use RejeX on all the
moving stock that we own that regularly collect bug
impacts. RejeX is good stuff."

Question
and Answers |
 |
| |
How much will it cost to have
my airplane treated with CorrosionX?
|
The price varies
by region, but for a single engine airplane,
the cost should range between $250 and $400.
The bigger and more complex the airplane, the
higher the cost. Contact one of our Northwest
Treatment Centers for a specific quote. These
are listed by state and highlighted blue on
the DEALER PAGE |
How long does the treatment take and how
long does it last?
|
The treatment takes two hours
for a single or light twin. We recommend that
aircraft be treated every other year, ideally
at the time of annual inspection.
|
Why use CorrosionX instead of the old, traditional
products?
|
The US Military has tested
all types of anti-corrosion products under real-world
conditions. They are very impressed with the
performance of CorrosionX, and its use by the
military and other government agencies continue
to grow very quickly. CorrosionX simply works
better. It is the only product qualified under
the Mil-C81309E, Type II that's not a barrier
coating.
|
Should I treat my airplane before or after
painting?
|
After. CorrosionX is petroleum-based
and paint will not adhere over it. Following
treatment, we recommend one year before painting.
|
Will CorrosionX harm paint, acrylic , plastic,
etc.?
|
No. It will not stain or
etch paint, nor will it harm plastic, acrylic
or rubber. The only exception is butyl (natural)
and silicone types of rubber, which may swell
when subjected to CorrosionX. A good rule of
thumb is that, if a material is affected by
fuel or oil, CorrosionX should be used with
caution.
|
Will CorrosionX harm electronics?
|
No. In fact, CorrosionX is
an excellent product for keeping switches, plugs,
connectors, etc. free of corrosion that interferes
with their functioning. CorrosionX can often
restore the functioning of components that have
stopped working because of corrosion. |
Is it true that CorrosionX can loosen rivets?
|
No. The only way to loosen
a properly-gripped rivet is by removing metal
around it. If a rivet becomes loose after a
CorrosionX treatment, it's because the rivet
was surrounded by corroded metal. In that sense,
CorrosionX has made you aware of what could
be a serious corrosion problem.
|
Can I treat my airplane myself? |
People with a high level
of mechanical skill sometimes do. For a thorough
treatment, we strongly recommend that our well-designed
and affordable Handi-Spray equipment be used.
For most people a visit to one of our more than
two hundred Treatment Centers nationwide (11
in the Northwest) is the best course of action.
Highly skilled mechanics, with proper training
and the right equipment, will accomplish the
job quickly and thoroughly. |
Is it true that CorrosionX
will seep out of my airplane? |
After a proper treatment,
you will see evidence of the product coming
through lap seams and around rivets and screws.
That seepage is evidence that CorrosionX is
doing its job; its pushing moisture out of those
tiny spaces and protecting them against future
corrosion. CorrosionX is harmless to the paint,
and can be wiped off easily.
