Redefining Conventional, with Biobased Alternatives

Corrosion mitigation is fundamentally a practice of material stewardship, it prolongs service life and safety of both equipment and infrastructure. Conventional corrosion mitigation techniques often diminish these benefits by sourcing and employing harmful chemicals. However, there are alternatives; green chemistries are being utilized in corrosion mitigation techniques, from rust preventatives made with renewable feedstocks and those certified Biobased by the USDA BioPreferred Program, to environmentally friendly disposal pathways. With thoughtful designs, Circular Economy principles can be incorporated into the field of corrosion management. In this paper, a range of corrosion management products, and case histories of their successful adoption will be presented. Some highlights include: The replacement of a solvent-based rust preventative (RP) with a biobased and water-based RP, the use of a canola-oil based rust preventative as a long-term protection solution at a major automotive firm, as well as the use of a biobased vapor-phase corrosion preventative which replaces traditional petroleum-based foam.
