As plants move toward cyclical operations, boiler system equipment is exposed to new corrosion risks and increased mechanical stresses. POWERFILM™ 10000 is a non-hazardous, non-amine filming corrosion inhibitor that protects critical boiler system assets under cyclic conditions. By establishing a durable protective film on metal surfaces, it helps shorten startup time while improving system availability and operational reliability.
POWERFILM™ 10000
Filming corrosion inhibitor for power plant utility boiler systems
Our approach
Cyclical operation places added stress on power plant equipment, often driving higher maintenance costs, longer startups, and unplanned outages. Nalco Water helps power producers protect critical boiler system assets from offline corrosion and cyclical stresses, enabling faster startups, improved reliability, and greater operational flexibility in today’s dynamic operating environment.
Designed to protect boiler system assets and improve system reliability
POWERFILM 10000 uses a surface‑active chemistry that is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a protective film that helps reduce corrosion during cycling, low‑load operation, and extended outages. Unlike traditional filming or neutralizing amines, it delivers corrosion protection without increasing cation conductivity at normal use concentrations to help you achieve performance goals across your entire plant:
Help prevent unplanned outages
