unique rheological (flow) properties which allow it to
be applied at room temperature, thus avoiding the
problems of applying a molten grease.
Vapor-Tek Ltd specialises in the development and
manufacture of high quality corrosion preventives,
for the protection of metal parts, machinery and
equipment during storage, transportation and export.
In addition to solvent and oil based coatings the
company produces a range of vapour-phase (volatile)
corrosion preventives for the protection of internal
areas such as:
• Engines
• Gearboxes
• Fuel Tanks
• Export packages
• Hydraulic Systems, etc.
• In addition, the company provides solutions for the
manufacture of VCI papers and board.
Vapor-Tek has developed a unique grease
(Cablegard) for the protection of overhead power lines
(conductors). Most conductors are ACSRs (aluminium
conductor steel reinforced) and consist of aluminium
strands reinforced by galvanised steel. Accordingly
all three metals must be protected. The grease has
Cablegard is designed to prolong the life of the
conductors and is manufactured to internationally
approved standards. It is now exported worldwide
and recognised as the ‘gold standard’ of corrosion
preventive conductor greases.
The company manufactures a solvent-deposited
water displacing corrosion preventive to a Ministry
of Defence specification DEF STAN 68-10 (PX-24,
NATO Code C-634). The product is used to preserve
jet and gas turbine engines and electrical items such
as field telecommunication equipment. The material
has also been tested and approved for use within the
Royal Navy submarine fleet.
The company’s philosophy is to provide products
which afford the highest possible level of protection at
reasonable cost and never to compromise on quality.
In this way we compete successfully against our larger
competitors. Our customers appreciate that, when it
comes to the protection of high value metal goods,
the use of inferior protectives can be a costly and
sometimes disastrous option.
As a small family firm, Vapor-Tek is able to respond
quickly to customers’ requirements and offer a
personalised service.
