Description

Pre-Mixed 5% Salt Solution for ASTM B117 & ISO 9227 (55 Gallon Drum)

This pre-mixed 5% sodium chloride solution provides laboratory managers and testing technicians with a standardized, ready-to-use supply for ASTM B117 and ISO 9227 salt fog testing.

By eliminating the need for manual in-house batching, this solution helps testing facilities maintain strict concentration controls, minimize operator-dependent errors, and ensure repeatable test conditions across long-duration corrosion exposures. It is delivered in a 55-gallon drum to support high-volume continuous testing.

Operational Benefits for Testing Laboratories

  • Standardizes test inputs: Eliminates mixing variability between different operators and shifts.
  • Maintains compliance: Ensures a consistent 5% concentration to meet strict testing parameters.
  • Optimizes labor: Reduces technician preparation time during test setup.
  • Improves repeatability: Provides baseline consistency for exposures lasting 500–2000+ hours.
  • Reduces contamination: Minimizes handling and environmental exposure risks associated with dry salt storage.
