Product Information
Full details
The Morris Ankorsol Anti-Corrosion Fluid (1L) is designed for users needing effective protection against corrosion in water and/or glycol-based systems. Its key benefit is providing robust rust prevention for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals while also aiding pump lubrication and preventing scale buildup, all at low concentrations. A key caveat is that Ankorsol alone does not offer freeze protection; antifreeze must be added if freezing is a concern.

FAQs
Does Ankorsol protect against freezing?
No, Ankorsol alone does not provide freeze protection. If freezing is a risk, you must add antifreeze to the system.
What is the recommended concentration for Ankorsol?
For water-only systems, a typical treatment rate is 3%. When used as a supplement to antifreeze, a typical rate is 2%.
Can I mix Ankorsol with my existing antifreeze?
Yes, Ankorsol is fully compatible with ethylene glycol and propylene glycol at the recommended concentrations. Ensure proper mixing ratios are maintained.
What metals does Ankorsol protect?
Ankorsol protects both ferrous (e.g., iron, steel) and non-ferrous (e.g., copper, brass, aluminum) metals.
How long does the corrosion protection last?
The longevity of the protection depends on system conditions. Regular fluid checks and maintenance are recommended. Consult the product data sheet for specific service life recommendations if available.
Is Ankorsol safe if it gets on my skin?
While formulated to be effective, it's always advisable to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves) when handling chemicals. Wash skin with soap and water if contact occurs. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling information.
Troubleshooting
System shows signs of corrosion despite using Ankorsol.
Verify the concentration of Ankorsol in the system. Ensure it was mixed correctly (e.g., 3% in water, 2% with antifreeze). Check for any incompatible additives that may have been introduced.
Pump is noisy or showing premature wear.
Confirm that Ankorsol was added at the correct concentration to provide adequate lubricity. Ensure there are no blockages or other mechanical issues with the pump itself.
Fluid appears cloudy or has separated.
This may indicate incompatibility with other fluids or an incorrect mixture ratio. Drain and flush the system, then refill with the correct Ankorsol concentration mixed with appropriate base fluid (water or glycol).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent protection for a wide range of metals.
- Enhances system longevity by preventing corrosion and scale.
- Improves pump performance through added lubricity.
- Cost-effective due to low required concentration.
- Environmentally friendlier formulation (free from specific harmful additives).
Cons
- Does not provide freeze protection on its own.
- Requires careful measurement for optimal performance and compatibility.
- Effectiveness may vary slightly with system conditions and contaminants.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the system's total fluid volume.
- Calculate the required amount of Ankorsol based on the desired treatment rate: 3% for water-only systems, or 2% when used as a supplement to antifreeze.
- Add Ankorsol to the system fluid (water, or water/antifreeze mixture).
- Ensure thorough mixing before operating the system.
Compatibility:
- Ankorsol is fully compatible with water.
- It is compatible with Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol at recommended concentrations.
- Avoid mixing with incompatible corrosion inhibitors or mineral-based water-soluble products, as this may compromise performance.
Care:
- Store Ankorsol in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place.
- Protect from freezing temperatures.
- Regularly check system fluid levels and condition. Periodic testing of the fluid's corrosion inhibition properties is recommended for critical systems.
