Description
Pre-Mixed Solution for GMW 14872 Cyclic Corrosion Testing (55 Gallon Drum)
This pre-mixed complex electrolyte solution provides laboratory managers and testing technicians with a standardized, ready-to-use supply for GMW 14872 cyclic corrosion testing.
GMW 14872 requires a specific, multi-part complex salt mixture (Sodium Chloride, Calcium Chloride, and Sodium Bicarbonate). By eliminating the need for manual in-house batching of these distinct chemicals, this solution helps testing facilities maintain strict concentration controls, minimize operator-dependent errors, and ensure repeatable test conditions across long-duration automotive exposures. It is delivered in a 55-gallon drum to support high-volume continuous testing.
Operational Benefits for Testing Laboratories
- Standardizes test inputs: Eliminates multi-chemical mixing variability between different operators and shifts.
- Maintains compliance: Formulated specifically to meet the strict electrolyte requirements of the GMW 14872 standard.
- Optimizes labor: Reduces technician preparation time during test setup.
- Improves repeatability: Provides baseline consistency for rigorous cyclic automotive exposures.
- Reduces contamination: Minimizes handling and environmental exposure risks associated with storing multiple raw dry salts.
