A: The coating is an advanced semi-permeable polymer that releases a vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor to protect component surfaces.

A: VPCIs vaporise and adsorb onto metal surfaces, forming a protective molecular layer that prevents corrosive agents like moisture, oxygen, and salts from reacting with the metal.

A: It depends on the film thickness of the dried coating and therefore the amount of contained VPCI in the coating. Usually many years of service can be obtained with 2 coats.

A: The environmental conditions should be considered - moisture content, corrosive gases and serviceability of the installation.

A: Senson coatings can be applied by brushing, spraying or dipping.

A: Senson coating can be thinned for spraying applications only. Senson recommends different thinning rates for different spraying equipment and techniques. Consult your spray equipment distributor directly for details.

A: It is a specifically formulated synthetic grease to provide protection for surfaces exposed to aggressive saline and acid environments, including edge connectors, plugs and sockets. It is impregnated with vapour phase corrosion inhibitors.

A: Anywhere that an electro / mechanical connection is made. Plugs, sockets, edge connectors, battery terminals, earth connections etc. can be protected with these products

No. The grease is not classified as flammable. It is combustible, meaning it can burn if exposed to sufficient heat or a sustained flame, but does not readily ignite under normal temperatures and conditions of use.

Vapaguard Pads are normally selected according to the volume of the enclosure, with replacement recommended after 12 months. Using a larger pad than the minimum size required may provide additional VPCI capacity and can help maintain protection in demanding applications, but it should not be assumed to extend service life in direct proportion to the size of the pad.

Actual service life will depend on factors including how well the enclosure is sealed, how frequently it is opened, operating temperature, humidity, airflow and the severity of the corrosive environment. Where protection beyond 12 months is required, the application and maintenance interval should be considered individually.

A: The grease is a synthetic compound containing Teflon and vapour phase corrosion inhibitors.

A: The grease is totally resistant to water and is used extensively in areas where the salinity exceeds 14-16 times seawater and high salt content areas such as salt producers in the Northwest of Western Australia.

A: The grease has been tested to 42KV at 2.5mm and is a very good insulator.

A: The grease will not dry out, harden or crack

A: No, the application of the grease will only affect the contact surface area and care should be taken not to install too much in plugs and sockets where the separation of contact surfaces can occur due to the hydraulic action of the product when plugs and sockets are re-connected.

A: Marineguard provides a polymer coating which contains vapour phase corrosion inhibitors (VPCI) specific to materials used on printed circuit boards. It provides extremely good protection in harsh and corrosive environments such as acid, alkaline, saline and solvent.

A: These easy-to-use devices protect electronic and electrical components by safeguarding areas inside enclosures and other vulnerable spots, such as edge connectors, plugs, and sockets. They work by releasing gas molecules that settle on metal surfaces, forming a protective layer against a broad range of corrosive contaminants.

A: These devices come in different forms, including pads, tabs, and strips. You can view all options under Products and Vapaguard Pads to find the right size and coverage for your needs.

A: Vapaguard Pads and Tabs work by releasing Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VPCIs) into the surrounding air inside an enclosure. These vapor molecules spread throughout the enclosed space and bond to metal surfaces, forming a thin, invisible protective layer. This layer prevents moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive agents from reacting with the metal, even in hard-to-reach areas like connectors, plugs, and sockets. The result is reliable, long-term protection against rust and corrosion without direct contact or messy coatings.

A: Yes, Pads are sized according to the volumetric capacity of the enclosure but if longer periods of protection are required due to inaccessibility between maintenance periods etc. e.g. A 5 cubic foot enclosure could be protected for 3 years if a 15 cubic foot pad is used. This also helps to reduce the installed cost, as the 15 cubic foot product would require only 1/3 of the man-hours to maintain corrosion protection than a 5 cubic foot pad used in the same enclosure.

A: Yes, however if the enclosure is to be open for a long period of time the pad should be removed and sealed then replaced when the enclosure is to be closed again.

A: The Pads and Tabs are very inexpensive and will protect equipment of considerable replacement value, not to mention the cost of downtime and lost production caused by failures due to corrosion that is mostly un-detectable to the human eye.

A: Vapaguard Tabs 10 and the P2E and P5E Pads are self-adhesive and should be attached to the inside of the enclosure or on the cover. The P15E Pads are designed to be suspended inside the cabinet using the enclosed cable tie. For larger applications, 1, 2, and 5 cubic metre pads should be placed inside the enclosure using an existing holder if available or mounted securely using the Velcro tab arrangement as described on the packaging cover. These pads only need to be replaced when their service life expires.

A: Senson Amalgamating Tape is a tough and elastic tape with very strong resistance to water and other liquids, which include a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, hydraulic fluids and vegetable oils.

A: To prevent the removal of Senson Grease installed in Plugs and Sockets, Battery terminals, Terminal strips, Relays, Senders, Light fittings and Fuse gear, where there is the possibility of High Pressure cleaners being used.

A: Amalgamating Tape has no adhesive side and needs to be stretched during application to create a complete bond to itself and other materials.

A: Senson Amalgamating Tape can be stretched up to 600% during application.

A: Senson Amalgamating Tape will not handle these two products. However, the application of engine paint or similar over tape used in areas where spillage of Diesel or Petrol may occur will protect the tape from any damage. It will improve the look of the connection, especially around engine bays and external wiring harnesses.

A: Yes, the tape has excellent dielectric properties of 4000 volts per 0.1mm.

A: Amalgamating tape should be overlapped 50% when wrapping connections and for equipment that has sharp corners care should be taken to ensure no ruptures occur. When wrapping battery terminals the tape should start on the cable insulation (approx. 25mm from the end) and continue all the way around the clamp/terminal, returning to the start.

A: The tape will amalgamate to butyl rubber, PVC, Polyethylene, EPR and most commonly used rubber hoses. All surfaces should be clean and dry before application.

A: Where it talks about the temperature, remove the  from where 23 °C is.

A: The tape can be applied at temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C and will function reliably in environments ranging from –95 °C to +95 °C. It has a self-ignition point of 550 °C, where ignition occurs after 15 minutes of exposure.
