Oxifree TM198 is highly effective for protecting metal pipework and equipment in marine environments because it combines active chemical preservation with an impermeable physical barrier.

The primary reasons why Oxifree TM198 is widely trusted in harsh offshore and coastal applications include:

Active Corrosion Inhibitors - Unlike passive paints, TM198 contains organic corrosion inhibitor oils. Upon application, these oils automatically "wet" the metal surface, creating a secondary active shield. This oil continues to secrete over time, actively arresting existing rust and preventing the ingress of oxygen and saltwater.

Encapsulation Without Adhesion - TM198 is a pliable thermoplastic resin that expands and contracts with thermal shifts. It does not stick or adhere directly to the metal substrate. Instead, it tightly encapsulates the component by shrinking around its geometry as it cools. This makes it ideal for complex, irregular shapes like bolted flanges, valves, and joints where traditional coatings do not adhere, easily crack or peel.

Protection for Moving Parts - Because it relies on encapsulation rather than adhesion, and possesses self-lubricating properties, it can be safely applied over rotating and moving machinery - such as winches, bearings, and valves - without jamming them.
