The mining industry is renowned for its unforgiving environment where even the toughest heavy-duty machinery with continuous exposure to the elements is highly susceptible to rust and wear. Here, corrosion is a constant battle. The dual action of a locally produced, innovative industrial solution – Corrosion Assassin – decisively combats this challenge. Its application effectively removes corrosion while leaving a protective layer, ensuring that machinery and plant equipment remains rust-free and operational for longer periods –reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Industrial solution
Corrosion Assassin is the flagship product of Green Guard Industrial Solutions and is produced in Johannesburg. The solution is designed to meet the demanding needs of not only mining but a number of industries where corrosion prevention is key. The company services a range of sectors, including the maritime, petrochemical, engineering, electrical and construction, energy, rail and automotive industries, as well as blow moulders, foundries and manufacturers of original equipment, parts and pipes.

Proven success
“What sets Corrosion Assassin apart is its eco-friendly formulation,” says founder of Green Guard Industrial Solutions, Gary Clark, “making it safe for both your equipment and the environment.”
He points out that the solution has been rigorously tested in mining environments and proven in a number of case studies. One of the company’s valued customers, RNE pumps, vouches for the product, having recently put it to the test. Design assistant at RNE Pumps, Zack Herridge, notes, “Corrosion Assassin worked extremely well on a number of shafts that had started to corrode in our warehouse. The liquid removes rust almost instantly with very little effort.”

- After: Using Corrosion Assassin (non-toxic/eco-friendly liquid) a spray bottle, using a rag, gloves and a mask for safety, the shafts were returned to their former glory, instantly with very little effort.
“Depending on the environment, Corrosion Assassin can keep rust at bay for months, providing durable and reliable protection,” concludes Clark.
