Cavity Protection for a 100-year-old museum ship
Task:
Protection of a ship’s floor heavily corroded on the inside.
Special Challenge:
The areas affected by corrosion are located beneath a tank and are difficult to access. The corroded area cannot be reached.
Solution:
Cavity protection using our corrosion protection grease with a high capability of creep.
Advantage:
The product has an extremely high capability of creep and can even reach covered areas. At a pinch the corrosion protection grease works even when applied directly on rust.
In the weeks after the treatment the grease highly capable of creep will penetrate deeply into the rust scale and reliably stop further corrosion. Wherever there is grease, oxygen cannot reach the metal.
As we all know from chemistry lessons at school corrosion only works when there is enough oxygen!
The even more capable of creep variation TimeMAX 1000 was also selected because there was another task to perform: Hidden areas, areas that probably were not reached while spraying, had to be protected, too. Our grease with its high capability of creep will accomplish this task later during the warm months of summer. Over months and years the material creeps over distances of up to 30 cm. In chapter “Products” there are interesting pictures on the subject of capability of creep. There it is not about TimeMAX 1000 or TimeMAX 2000, but about our product TimeMAX MOVE. This is a concentrate of the two greases mentioned before.

The owners of the “Woltman” were thrilled by our unusual approach to cavity corrosion and made a film about the work on their ship with us.
