ZERUST Axxanol 710C Anti-Corrosion Oil Additive

ZERUST Axxanol 710C is a high-performance anti-corrosion oil additive developed by ZERUST/EXCOR, combining two proven protective mechanisms: Contact Inhibitors and Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Technology. When added to existing lubricating oils, it forms a dual-action barrier that protects metal surfaces both through direct contact and through the release of corrosion-inhibiting vapors that permeate void spaces within closed systems. This makes it uniquely effective in applications where conventional lubricants alone cannot provide complete coverage.

Applications

Axxanol 710C is designed for use in sealed, lubricated systems across a wide range of industrial and heavy-duty equipment. Primary applications include internal combustion engines, automatic and manual transmissions, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and other enclosed mechanical assemblies. It is particularly well-suited for equipment that experiences extended idle periods, seasonal shutdowns, or storage — conditions under which corrosion risk is significantly elevated. The additive is compatible with most mineral and synthetic lubricating oils, enabling straightforward integration into existing maintenance regimes without the need for system flushing or disassembly.

How It Works

The product's Contact Inhibitors adsorb onto metal surfaces that are wetted by the oil, forming a molecular protective film that displaces moisture and prevents electrochemical corrosion reactions. Simultaneously, the VCI component volatilizes within the enclosed system, allowing corrosion-inhibiting molecules to migrate through air gaps and void spaces — areas that oil cannot physically reach. These vapors condense on exposed metal surfaces, establishing a continuous, self-replenishing protective layer. The result is thorough, all-surface protection throughout the interior of the system, including areas above the oil line.

Performance in Gulf and Middle East Conditions

Industrial equipment operating in the Gulf and broader Middle East region faces some of the most aggressive corrosion conditions in the world. Extreme ambient temperatures accelerate oxidation and lubricant degradation, while high humidity — particularly in coastal and offshore environments — dramatically increases the risk of moisture ingress and electrochemical corrosion. Axxanol 710C is formulated to remain effective under these demanding conditions, providing reliable protection for critical assets in oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and heavy manufacturing sectors. Its VCI mechanism is especially valuable in environments where thermal cycling causes condensation to form on internal metal surfaces, a common challenge in the region.
