Anti-Corrosion Protection of Metals

Anti-Corrosion Protection of Metals – Professional Lubricants for Long-Term Metal Protection

Why Anti-Corrosion Protection Is Essential in Metal Processing

Corrosion is one of the most common and costliest issues in the metalworking industry. Metal surfaces are exposed daily to moisture, oxygen, temperature fluctuations, salt, cleaning chemicals and industrial influences that accelerate oxidation. Even a small amount of moisture or surface condensation can trigger initial corrosion, which then gradually spreads and causes material degradation, loss of strength, porosity and mechanical damage.

At M&M Intercom we recognise these challenges, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of anti-corrosion solutions designed for professional use in industry, mechanical engineering, tooling, service and maintenance. We collaborate with leading manufacturers such as ADDINOL, CRC, Rocol, Weicon, Castrol and Fuchs, ensuring maximum quality and complete protection of metal surfaces in demanding conditions.

Anti-corrosion protection is not only important for final products but also during metal processing itself, storage of workpieces, transport and temporary storage of tools. Each stage presents an opportunity for rust damage, which is why proper prevention is crucial for uninterrupted production.

Wide Selection of Professional Anti-Corrosion Products

We offer a comprehensive and carefully selected range covering all metal-processing needs. Available products include:

• Anti-rust sprays – fast-drying, easy to use, suitable for service work, assembly and hard-to-reach areas.
• Anti-corrosion oils – create a long-lasting protective film that shields metal surfaces from oxidation even in unfavourable storage conditions.
• Protective coatings – from light to very thick films, excellent for long-term protection during storage and transport.
• Combined lubricants – provide both anti-corrosion properties and lubricity for smoother machining, reduced friction and lower tool wear.
• Specialised products – intended for moulds, die surfaces, castings, blades, tooling and precision metal components requiring specialised care.

Since corrosion behaviour depends on the environment, metal type and load intensity, selecting the right product is crucial. All our solutions are designed to provide effective protection across a wide range of industrial processes.

Filtering Options and Detailed Technical Specifications

To make selection easier, we offer a wide range of filters that allow precise search based on product characteristics.

Manufacturers
Choose from leading brands known for reliability and advanced chemical formulations: ADDINOL, CRC, Weicon, Rocol, Fuchs, Castrol.

Packaging
We offer various packaging options suitable for different applications:

• sprays 300–500 ml
• bottles 250 ml, 1 L
• canisters 5 L, 10 L, 20 L
• drums 60 L and 200 L for larger production lines

ISO Specifications / DIN Standards
Many of our products comply with demanding industrial standards:
DIN 51502, DIN 51825, DIN 51524, DIN 51360.

Temperature ranges
Products are available for all types of conditions, from standard to extreme:

• from –40 °C to +180 °C
• oils up to +200 °C
• wax films up to +250 °C

Because industrial equipment often operates in environments with temperature variations, moisture and aggressive substances, precise filtering is essential for choosing the right product.

Advantages of High-Quality Anti-Corrosion Protection

Regular use of professional anti-corrosion products:

• prevents rust and oxidation
• protects surface quality before and after processing
• reduces maintenance, repair and replacement costs
• lowers the risk of mechanical damage caused by corrosion
• improves safe storage and transport of metal parts
• increases productivity and reduces production downtime
• protects metals from moisture, salt, condensation, chemicals and industrial influences
• extends the service life of tools and machinery

In industrial environments every failure means loss of time, cost and production delays, making reliable anti-corrosion protection an investment in a smooth operation.

When to Choose Specific Types of Anti-Corrosion Products

To achieve the best results, we recommend selecting according to the specific application:

• Sprays – best for maintenance work and small surfaces
• Oils – for long-term storage and serial protection
• Wax films – for extreme conditions or long-distance transport
• Combined lubricants – where both protection and lubrication are needed
• Thick coatings – for highly exposed metal surfaces

10 Most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What are anti-corrosion products and why are they important?
Anti-corrosion products are specialised coatings, oils or sprays that protect metal surfaces from rust, oxidation and degradation. They extend the service life of metal components, reduce maintenance costs and preserve the quality of workpieces during processing, storage or transport.
2. Which anti-corrosion product is best for long-term storage?
For long-term storage we recommend higher-viscosity oils or wax films that form a thick, highly durable protective layer. These protect against moisture, condensation and temperature fluctuations, which is essential for storage lasting months or years.
3. Can anti-corrosion products be used during machining?
Yes. Combined lubricants provide both protection and lubricity, reducing friction and improving machining processes such as milling, drilling, sawing and forming.
4. How long does the protective effect last?
It depends on the type of product and environmental conditions. Sprays and light films protect for weeks to several months; oils and wax coatings protect for months to several years.
5. Do anti-corrosion products affect subsequent processing?
Most do not negatively affect further processing, but thicker films must be removed before painting, welding or bonding. We offer products that are easy to remove for quick continuation of production.
6. On which metals is anti-corrosion protection recommended?
It is used on steel, iron, aluminium, copper, brass, cast alloys and other metallic materials.
7. How do I choose the right product for my process?
Key factors include:

• metal type
• exposure conditions (moisture, salt, temperature)
• storage duration
• processing method and load level
• lubrication requirements

Our experts help select the optimal product for your application.
8. Are anti-corrosion products suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, but you must choose products with high resistance to rain, salt, UV exposure and temperature fluctuations.
9. How should anti-corrosion products be applied correctly?
Surfaces must be clean, dry and degreased. Sprays should be applied in a thin, even layer; oils and films can be applied by spraying, brushing or dipping.
10. Do I need special equipment for application?
Most sprays do not require special equipment. Oils and coatings may require brushes, spray guns or dipping tanks.
