Phosphate-Free Corrosion Inhibitor Protects Hydrotested Drinking Water Systems

eawater

How often do you think about drinking water storage tanks and the plumbing behind your walls? Unless you’re a plumber or building contractor, these components probably don’t come to mind often. But out of sight does not mean out of mind for corrosion, which can compromise drinking water pipes and tanks before they are ever put into service. As a result, Cortec® is encouraging contractors and plumbers to spread the word about VpCI®-649 HP, a phosphate-free corrosion inhibitor for protection during and after hydrotesting. Hydrotesting of drinking water piping, fittings,…
