Product Information
Full details
The Morris Ankorsol Anti Corrosion Fluid Inhibitor is designed for users needing robust protection for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals in water or glycol-based systems. Its key benefit is providing excellent corrosion prevention at low concentrations, thus maintaining system efficiency, while also offering lubricity for pumps. A key caveat is that it does not provide freeze protection on its own, requiring additional antifreeze for such applications.

FAQs
Does Ankorsol provide freeze protection?
No, Ankorsol does not provide freeze protection on its own. If your system is exposed to freezing temperatures, you must add a suitable antifreeze (like ethylene or propylene glycol) in addition to Ankorsol.
What is the correct treatment rate for Ankorsol?
The recommended treatment rate is 3% for standalone use in water systems and 2% when used as a supplement to antifreeze in glycol systems.
Can I mix Ankorsol with other corrosion inhibitors?
It is best to use Ankorsol as the sole corrosion inhibitor. Mixing with other products may compromise its effectiveness or cause compatibility issues unless specifically confirmed.
What types of metals does Ankorsol protect?
Ankorsol protects both ferrous metals (like steel and iron) and non-ferrous metals (like aluminum, copper, brass, and solder).
How does Ankorsol prevent furring and scaling?
Its formulation helps to keep dissolved minerals and contaminants in suspension, preventing them from precipitating out and forming scale or furring on pipe surfaces.
Is Ankorsol safe for use in potable water systems?
This product is formulated for industrial and automotive fluid systems and is not intended for potable water applications. Always refer to the product's specific application guidelines and SDS.
How does Ankorsol affect cooling system efficiency?
Ankorsol is designed to have minimal effect on cooling efficiency because it is free from mineral oil and other components that can impede heat transfer. It works at low concentrations to maintain optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Visible corrosion or rust in the system
Verify the Ankorsol concentration is at the recommended level (3% for water, 2% for antifreeze). Ensure the product has been in the system long enough to take effect. Check for any incompatible chemicals that may have been added.
Reduced cooling efficiency
Confirm Ankorsol concentration is within the recommended range, as excessive amounts could theoretically impact heat transfer. Ensure no other factors like airlocks or blockages are present. Ankorsol is designed to minimize impact on cooling efficiency.
Pump noise or poor lubrication
Check the Ankorsol concentration; insufficient levels may not provide adequate lubricity. Ensure the pump itself is not failing due to age or other mechanical issues.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent corrosion protection for a wide range of metals.
- Maintains system cooling efficiency due to its specialized formulation.
- Enhances pump longevity through added lubricity.
- Compatible with common glycol types and water.
- Effective at low dosage rates, making it cost-efficient.
Cons
- Does not provide freeze protection on its own.
- Requires careful calculation of concentration for optimal performance.
- Additional antifreeze is necessary if freezing temperatures are expected.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use Ankorsol, determine the system volume and calculate the required amount based on the recommended treatment rate (3% for standalone water systems, 2% for antifreeze supplements). Add the calculated volume of Ankorsol to the system fluid. Ensure thorough mixing for even distribution.
Compatibility: Ankorsol is fully compatible with water, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol at recommended concentrations. Avoid using with other corrosion inhibitors unless compatibility is confirmed.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use. Refer to the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific handling and disposal guidelines.
