Cortec Boiler Turtle™

Product Description

Cortec’s Boiler Turtle™ is a readyto-use waterborne corrosion inhibitor for wet-dry layup of boiler systems. Its combination of contact and Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors protects multi-metal surfaces below and above the water level. Boiler Turtle™ is easy to apply because it does not require the boiler to be drained or opened for application. It is an excellent alternative to other methods of long-term layup.

Typical Properties

Application

Shut the boiler down in accordance to normal procedures. Once boiler temperature has dropped below 180 °F (82 °C), add Boiler Turtle™ to feedwater and/or condensate system and pump to the boiler. Shut the system down and maintain it at high-water level for 24 hours before draining if for a dry layup. Leave at high water level for wet layup. Recommended dosage is 3,000-10,000 ppm for 3-12 months of protection. Contact Cortec® Technical Service for details.
