Cortec Boiler Dragon™

Product Description

Cortec’s Boiler Dragon™ is a readyto-use waterborne multi-metal Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibiting (VpCI®) fogging fluid designed for use in the dry layup of large boilers and steam components for short- and long-term preservation. The unique vaporphase properties of the VpCI® molecules provide continuous protection throughout the boiler spaces when properly applied. Direct application to every metal surface is not required. Boiler Dragon™ is a safer and/or more effective alternative to traditional boiler dry layup options such as desiccants, quicklime, or nitrogen blankets. Boiler systems preserved by the Boiler Dragon™ can be returned to service quickly by simply filling the boiler with makeup water. There is no need for product removal or flushing.

A ferrous-only version, Boiler Dragon™ FO, is also available.

Boiler Dragon™ is available in 5-gallon (19 L) pails, 55-gallon (208 L) drums, liquid totes, and bulk.
