Ardrox ARDROX-AV35D-AEROSOL (400-ml-Aero)

Ardrox AV 35D

Overview

Ardrox AV 35D Fluorescent Corrosion Inhibiting Compound (CIC) is a super penetrating, water-displacing corrosion prevention coating designed for aerospace structures and components. This heavy-duty compound forms a tack-free protective film while providing fluorescent inspection capability under UV light, enabling easy verification of coating coverage and film continuity.
