A technical data sheet (TDS) is a document provided with a product that lists various pieces of information about the product. Oftentimes, technical data sheets include product composition, methods of use, operating requirements, common applications, warnings and pictures of the…
Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) is an electrochemical process used to prevent corrosion in metal structures by applying a controlled electrical current to the metal. This process involves the use of an external power source to apply an electrical current to the metal…
Passivation is the process through which materials are protected from corrosion. Passivation aims to reduce the deterioration of materials (usually metals) caused by their reaction with the environment. The end goal of passivation is to increase the lifespan of the material in question by…
Carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) are a sort of advanced material used in the aerospace, automobile, marine and sport industries. Their use is growing drastically because of their fantastic properties, particularly their high strength and low weight. Here we'll explain the…

Xylan is an industrial dry film lubricant consisting primarily of one or more fluoropolymers including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (Figure 1), perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). This coating is generally used to reduce friction, improve wear…
A corrosion rate conversion is a technique to change the measurement units of a given corrosion rate to another unit for comparison purposes or a specific engineering application. When converting a corrosion rate between these units you must keep in mind that a mil is a thousandth of an…
