KORR-GUARD is a water displacing, specialized formula
utilizing a unique approach to rust and corrosion resistance.
Many of the corrosion resistant greases on the market are
typically lithium, aluminum and anhydrous calcium and the
resulting grease is treated with 2-5% rust inhibitor. The rust
inhibitor is oil soluble and surface active, wanting to wet out
on the steel surface. Over a time, the oil separates and the
low additive content depletes. KORR-GUARD actually
complexes the rust inhibitor in high quantity as a component
in the thickener. The thickener holds the rust inhibitor in
place so additive depletion becomes a less significant factor
in long term storage.
The chemical complexing of the rust inhibitor into the
thickener structure also results in a significant yield
reduction. The thickener content with this system ranges
from 19 - 25% depending upon the intricate processing
variables involved. In a grease, it is the thickener/soap
which adheres to metal, not the oil. Therefore, the greater
quantity the thickener content, the longer the product will
last.
