Jet-Lube Korr-Guard Storage Compound: How a Complexed Rust Inhibitor Prevents Long-Term Corrosion
About this episode
This episode discusses how JetLube KORR-GUARD prevents long-term corrosion in storage applications.
JetLube KORR-GUARD® storage compound is the complexed rust inhibitor grease your procurement and reliability teams need when conventional corrosion protection falls short — especially on drill string thread protector applications where long-term storage means real exposure risk. This episode breaks down exactly how KORR-GUARD prevents long-term corrosion where standard greases fail, and why the chemistry behind it matters for your maintenance and storage programs. Full product details at https://www.pe-energy.com/product/jet-lube-korr-guard-5-gallon/ The core problem with standard corrosion-resistant greases: Most lithium, aluminum, and anhydrous calcium greases carry only 2–5% rust inhibitor blended into the oil phase. That inhibitor migrates toward the steel surface over time, the oil separates, the additive depletes — and your metal is exposed. KORR-GUARD solves this structurally. The rust inhibitor is chemically complexed directly into the thickener , not dissolved in the oil. Additive depletion is no longer the dominant failure mode over extended storage periods. Why thickener content is the real spec to watch: Because the complexing process drives a yield reduction…
