FAQ:

What does COBRATEC® do?

  • COBRATEC® protects metals by forming a corrosion-resistant film on their surface. COBRATEC® is uniquely effective on copper, copper alloys and silver. Aluminum and steel are also protected by choosing the correct COBRATEC® products or by using COBRATEC® with other corrosion inhibitors.
  • COBRATEC® is economical - a little goes a long way. Some cooling water applications require only 3-5 ppm to prevent copper corrosion.
  • COBRATEC® protects metals from copper-initiated localized corrosion by tying up copper ions. It prevents galvanic corrosion, which causes pitting from copper plated out on other metals.
  • COBRATEC® protects hydrocarbons in functional fluids from decomposition initiated by copper. Functional fluids include antifreeze/coolant, metal working fluids, and lubricants.
  • COBRATEC® remains stable when exposed to acidic, neutral or basic conditions; elevated temperature; ultraviolet light; and oxidizing conditions.
