ZERUST®/EXCOR® Axxatec™ 8110C Corrosion-Inhibiting Additive

Product Overview

ZERUST®/EXCOR® Axxatec™ 8110C is a high-performance, water-based corrosion-inhibiting additive developed for the long-term protection of metal surfaces within closed fluid systems. Formulated to be compatible with a broad range of metals — including iron, steel, aluminium, copper, and brass — it provides comprehensive corrosion defence in a single, easy-to-dose liquid product. The additive integrates seamlessly into existing system fluids without requiring complex preparation or specialist equipment.

Developed under the globally recognised ZERUST®/EXCOR® brand, Axxatec™ 8110C meets the rigorous demands of industrial facilities where corrosion control is critical to operational continuity, equipment longevity, and safety compliance.

Applications

Axxatec™ 8110C is specifically designed for use in closed systems where water-filled void spaces are present and metal surfaces require ongoing protection. Key application areas include:

• Heat exchangers — protecting internal metal surfaces from corrosive attack in process cooling and heating circuits.
• Industrial plate-chillers — maintaining the integrity of chiller circuits in manufacturing and process industries.
• Fire sprinkler systems — safeguarding pipework and internal components during extended standby periods.
• Hydraulic systems — preventing internal corrosion in hydraulic circuits and reservoirs.
• Coolant equipment — extending service life of cooling circuits in industrial machinery and HVAC infrastructure.

Key Benefits

• Multi-metal compatibility: Protects iron, steel, aluminium, copper, and brass simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate inhibitor products in mixed-metal systems.
• Extended protection: Delivers up to 1 year of corrosion inhibition per treatment cycle, reducing maintenance frequency and associated downtime.
• Water-based, low-hazard formula: The aqueous formulation simplifies handling, storage, and disposal compared to solvent-based alternatives.
• Ease of use: Designed for straightforward dosing into existing system fluids with no specialist equipment required.
• Interior surface protection: Specifically formulated to protect internal surfaces and components within closed, water-filled systems where external coatings are not applicable.

Usage Guidance

Axxatec™ 8110C should be added directly to the system water at the recommended treat rate as specified in the product technical data sheet. Ensure the system is filled and the additive is circulated thoroughly to achieve uniform distribution across all internal surfaces. For optimal performance, verify system pH and water quality prior to dosing. Retreatment is recommended annually or as indicated by periodic water quality monitoring.

Always refer to the product safety data sheet (SDS) and technical data sheet (TDS) before use. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.

Suitability for Gulf & Middle East Industrial Environments

The Gulf and Middle East region presents some of the most challenging conditions for industrial equipment — extreme ambient temperatures, high humidity in coastal zones, and demanding continuous-operation cycles all accelerate corrosion in water-filled systems. Axxatec™ 8110C is well-suited to these environments, providing a robust inhibitor barrier that remains effective under elevated temperature conditions common in regional facilities.

From petrochemical plants and desalination facilities to commercial HVAC installations and fire protection infrastructure, Axxatec™ 8110C supports asset integrity programmes across the region's key industrial sectors. Its water-based formulation also aligns with increasingly stringent environmental and workplace safety standards adopted across GCC member states.
