ZerioTec® - Fog MV
ZerioTec® - Fog MV is a ready-to-use, water-based rust-preventative liquid engineered for fogging and spraying applications. It protects ferrous metals through Zerust® contact inhibitors and advanced Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology while also being compatible with multimetal systems. The VCI molecules migrate effectively to protect hard-to-reach voids in enclosed spaces, making ZerioTec® - Fog MV is ideal for fogging into complex machinery, assemblies, or packages containing voids and chambers. For colder climates or freezing conditions, a winterized version is available to ensure reliable, year-round performance‡.
‡Compatible with packaging, the product lasts up to 1 year in plain poly packaging and up to 5 years in Zerust® VCI packaging or hermetically sealed spaces.
Typical Applications
- Wide Temperature Operations: Suitable for applications in operating temperatures ranging from 5–49°C (41–120°F).
- Cold Climate Applications: Winterized version ensures consistent performance in freezing temperature conditions.
- Temporary Rust Prevention Coating: Provides short-term protection for metal surfaces and can be easily removed as needed.
- Pre-Paint Surface Preparation: Protects metal surfaces prior to painting, with easy removal using Zerust® AxxaWashTM products.
- Spray or Fog Applications: Ideal for enclosed systems where VCI fogging is required for effective corrosion protection.
Key Advantages
Ready-to-Use: Convenient water-based formula requires no diluting, simplifying application.
Reliable Rust Prevention: Provides effective corrosion protection across a broad range of operating temperatures.
Cold Weather Compatibility: Winterized version available for low-freezing temperature conditions.
Ease of Removal: Can be easily removed using compatible Zerust® AxxaWashTM products.
Versatile Application Methods: Suitable for spray or fogging applications in enclosed systems.
Environmentally Friendly: Water-based formulation reduces environmental impact compared to solvent-based alternatives.
Operational Safety: Designed to prevent corrosion without compromising ease of maintenance or subsequent painting processes.
Operating Summary
- Ready-to-use water-based VCI rust preventative liquid.
- Typical operating temperature: 5–49°C (41–120°F) in most operations.
- ZerioTec® - Fog MV is a water-based product and will freeze at temperature/environment conditions/substrate surface temperature when water freezes. Do not apply product when there is a chance of water freezing. For low-freezing temperature application, please contact a Zerust representative for winterized versions.
Application Guidelines and Removal
- Suitable for spray or fog applications. Avoid applying to red-hot surfaces, such as immediately after welding.
- Designed as a rust preventative coating but can be removed with a compatible Zerust® AxxaWashTM product. For tailored removal guidance, contact a Zerust® representative.
- Remove the coating before painting.
- Do not reuse the product in circulating spray systems, even in enclosed setups, as the active VCI components diminish when exposed to air.
