StrongArmSprays Plumbing Usage and Long Term Preservation.
ELIMINATING THE EFFECTS OF MOISTURE ON SURFACES
Treating and preserving metal:
in this case it's copper surfaces in severe moisture conditions.
Case in point #1 Moisture sweating on copper soldered pipe.
The pictures shown below were taken a year and a half after completion of a new installation of pipe. The pipe was run from the replacement of a frozen ball valve to the water filter and softener in a basement with rock walls. This is the second summer conditions, with severe condensation and sweating on the cold pipe surface as water comes up from the well. For six months of the year, from May through October, This pipe sweats 24 hours a day and the water dripping on the floor of the basement makes it look like there are leaks in the pipe, but there are none.
The pipe was sprayed with StrongArmSprays at the end of the installation and it has preserved the copper and kept it in mint condition. See the close-ups below taken over the span of the pipe run.

This is the Tee Joint where the water line comes up from the well feed and ball valve. Almost no corrosion is on the solder joint, even with all this sweating all this time. Without StrongArmSprays by this time the entire fitting would be green with corrosion. |

Here's an overall view of the copper line that runs along the wall to the filter. It looks as good now as when it was put in. |
