NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid is a highly effective corrosion inhibitor for the common ferrous and non-ferrous metals in cooling
water systems. The stable oxide film that is formed prevents corrosion caused by electrolytic action between dissimilar metals used
in the system. NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid has been field tested and found to have no detrimental effects on non metallic
substances such as seals, glands, packing, hoses, gaskets etc., normally used in these systems. The compound is alkaline and so will
suppress acid corrosion, which would otherwise result in corrosion damage such as pitting. However, the alkalinity control is such
that even if the product is accidentally overdosed, the pH of the water will remain within limits. The metals which would be affected
by extremes of alkalinity or acidity are protected. In cases where systems are contaminated with oil and/or scale they should be
cleaned before starting to apply NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid. There are suitable WSS products to carry out the cleaning. Degreasing
should be carried out using UNITOR™ Seaclean Plus and descaling by using UNITOR™ Descalex. Refer to Water Treatment
handbook. Freeze protection can be required if the vessel is to be laid up in cold areas. NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid can be used in
conjunction with glycols to provide suitable freeze protection. If the system contains zinc galvanized parts, it is advisory to clean the
system with Descalex prior to commencing the treatment.
NALFLEET™ Rocor NB is not suitable for use in cooling systems containing aluminium components.
Dosing method
NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid should be dosed to a suitable point in the system. If the expansion tank is used then adequate
circulation must be assured.
Initial dosage for an untreated system is 9 litres of NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid/1000 litres of untreated distilled/technical water. This
will bring the treatment up to the minimum level of 1000 ppm nitrite. The dosage chart given below is for convenience in calculating
the amount of NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid required to bring the treatment level to the suitable point between the minimum and
maximum - this being 1440 ppm nitrite.
Measured Nitrite (as ppm NO2) 0 180 360 540 720 900 1080 1260 1440 - 2400

N.B.Buffering agents in NALFLEET™ Rocor NB Liquid maintain pH values within suitable limits when the product is dosed as
recommended. Normal pH should be maintained between 8.3 and 10 by the treatment. The engine manufacturer's
recommendations for water quality should always be complied with.
Chloride levels should always be as low as possible. Most engine manufacturers recommend a maximum of 50 ppm chlorides. For
this reason, Wilhelmsen Ships Service recommends the use of distilled water as make-up.
