CorrosionX Range — Quick Reference by Formulation
CorrosionX uses polar-bonding chemistry that actively displaces moisture from metal surfaces and forms a self-healing protective film — outperforming conventional penetrating oils in salt-spray and high-humidity environments. The three core formulations target light, heavy and extreme-duty applications. Available in aerosol, trigger spray and bulk formats.
| Formulation | Use Environment | Coverage / Life | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| CorrosionX Standard | Light to moderate corrosion exposure | ~6 months indoor / ~3 months outdoor | General workshop, indoor machinery, electronics displacement |
| CorrosionX Heavy Duty | Marine, coastal, salt-spray, high-humidity | ~12 months marine / ~6 months heavy industrial | Marine vessels, coastal equipment, mining plant, outdoor machinery |
| CorrosionX XD (Extreme Duty) | Most aggressive corrosion environments | ~24 months in tested marine / sustained heavy-industrial | Offshore equipment, chemical plant, long-term storage of metal assets |
| CorrosionX ReleaseX | Penetrating release for seized fasteners | Penetrates and releases — not a long-term coating | Seized bolts, frozen mechanisms, rust-bonded assemblies |
CorrosionX is non-conductive (safe on energised electronics) and food-safe in food-zone applications. Compatible with paint, rubber, plastic and most coatings. Companion ranges: corrosion inhibitors, lubrication, penetrating oil.
CorrosionX Corrosion Inhibitor, Lubricant & Rust Reconverter
CorrosionX is an American-developed corrosion inhibitor and multi-purpose lubricant widely trusted in aviation, marine, mining and industrial maintenance for its exceptional long-term corrosion protection performance. Unlike conventional penetrating oils, CorrosionX uses a polar bonding technology that causes the product to actively seek out and displace moisture from metal surfaces, forming a self-healing protective film that remains effective even in salt spray and high-humidity environments. AIMS Industrial supplies the CorrosionX range in aerosol, trigger spray and bulk formats, covering standard, Heavy Duty and XD formulations for light to extreme-duty industrial applications.
CorrosionX Standard Range — Aerosol & Trigger Spray
The standard CorrosionX formulation is the go-to product for electrical panel protection, control wiring, switchgear, connector corrosion prevention and general industrial corrosion inhibition. Its low viscosity allows it to penetrate tight clearances, displace moisture and coat internal surfaces of electrical enclosures without leaving an insulating film that would impair electrical connections. Available in aerosol and trigger spray formats for convenience across different application scenarios.
- CorrosionX Corrosion Inhibitor, Moisture Displacer & Lubricant: The flagship CorrosionX formulation; penetrates, displaces moisture, lubricates and leaves a long-lasting corrosion-inhibiting film on metal surfaces — suitable for electrical, mechanical and structural applications
- CorrosionX 90102 Corrosion Inhibitor Aerosol 473ml: Standard aerosol format for general-purpose corrosion inhibition, moisture displacement and lubrication; the most versatile format for workshop and field application
- CorrosionX 91002 Trigger Spray 473ml: Trigger spray format for controlled, targeted application on electrical panels, connectors and precise locations where aerosol overspray is not acceptable
- CorrosionX Rust Reconverter LT 1L: Water-based rust converter that converts active rust to a stable surface ready for coating; brush-applied formula for maintenance repaints on moderately rusted structural steel and equipment
CorrosionX Heavy Duty, XD & Specialist Formulations
For applications where standard CorrosionX isn't enough — coastal infrastructure, marine environments, mining equipment and mechanisms exposed to extreme contamination — the Heavy Duty and XD formulations provide enhanced film thickness, greater penetration and longer-lasting protection. The CorrosionX grease suits bearing housings and heavily loaded contact points, while the gun lubricant formulation is purpose-developed for firearms maintenance in wet and corrosive conditions.
- CorrosionX HD Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor & Lubricant: Heavy-duty formulation with increased film weight for more aggressive corrosion environments; preferred for coastal infrastructure, marine fittings and mining equipment subject to constant moisture exposure
- CorrosionX 90104 Heavy Duty Aerosol 355ml: HD formulation in aerosol format for convenient field application on exposed structural members, cable trays, electrical enclosures and outdoor fittings in harsh environments
- CorrosionX XD Corrosion Inhibitor & Lubricant: Extreme-duty formulation for the most aggressive corrosion challenges; thicker protective film for mechanisms exposed to saltwater, acid vapours and severe industrial environments
- CorrosionX 96801 General Purpose Grease 425g: Petroleum-based grease incorporating CorrosionX's corrosion-inhibiting technology; suitable for bearing housings, chassis fittings and loaded contact points in corrosive environments

People Also Ask — CorrosionX Marine and Industrial Protectants
Q: What is CorrosionX?
CorrosionX is an American manufacturer of marine and industrial corrosion-protection lubricants (since 1990). Their flagship product (CorrosionX itself) is a polar-bonding lubricant that displaces moisture, penetrates rust, and forms long-lasting protective film on metal. Used widely in marine environments (boats, fishing equipment, marine electronics), aviation (corrosion control on aircraft), and any application where long-term corrosion protection of metal is critical. AIMS stocks CorrosionX as premium-tier marine/industrial protectant.
Q: CorrosionX vs WD-40 vs Inox MX7?
All three are penetrant/lubricant/protectant sprays. CorrosionX: specialty polar-bonding chemistry for longest-lasting corrosion protection (6-12+ months between applications in many environments), premium pricing. Inox MX7 (Lano-Cote Marine): Australian-made marine variant of the Inox MX range. WD-40: general workshop multi-purpose, shorter protection cycles. For sustained marine exposure where reapplication is difficult: CorrosionX. For Australian marine use: Inox MX7 or CorrosionX. For general workshop: WD-40 or Inox MX3.
Q: What's CorrosionX used for in aviation?
Aviation maintenance: aircraft skin internal corrosion control (sprayed into lap joints, fasteners, hidden surfaces), control cable lubrication, hinge and linkage protection, battery terminal corrosion control. CorrosionX is approved for many aircraft applications under FAA-approved processes. For workshop applications, the same chemistry that protects aircraft in salt-air environments works on equipment in mining, marine, and harsh industrial conditions.
Q: How long does CorrosionX protection last?
Depends on environment: indoor stored equipment 12-24+ months protection, outdoor under-cover 6-12 months, direct rain exposure 3-6 months, salt water immersion shorter still. Reapplication intervals based on environment + visible signs of penetration loss. Don't expect any spray-on protectant to last indefinitely in marine immersion — that requires hard coatings (galvanising, paint systems). CorrosionX excels at displaceable-environment protection.
Q: Is CorrosionX safe on electronics?
Yes — CorrosionX is a non-conductive lubricant designed for electronic and electrical applications. Safe on circuit boards, electrical contacts, switches, and connectors. Provides corrosion protection without conductivity issues. Used widely in marine electronics, mobile equipment, and outdoor electrical installations. Don't apply to optical or fibre-optic equipment without checking compatibility. For electrical contacts requiring zero residue, dedicated contact cleaners may be preferable.
