Checked in several auto parts stores,  hardware and big box stores looking for Corrosion X, and could not find any.  Was about ready to order some but the shipping was as much as the product.  Checked the archives and someone said Academy Sporting Goods had it, sure enough they did, both the regular stuff and the HD.  $7 for a 6 oz. spray can and $11 for a 12 oz. HD spray can.  Haven't had time to use either though.

I purchased Corrosion X while in NAC last week. Used it on my basement door latches. It worked great freeing up the door locks.

I still would like to know what is in it that makes it so much better than other similar products.

Kent,
I am fairly certain the folks that make Corrosion X will not divulge the composition of the product.  But I purchased the liquid (not aerosol can).  The Corrosion X liquid is more viscous than WD40 so it will stay on longer and won't be as easy to "wash-off".
Because of the higher viscosity, my hand pump spray bottle cannot atomize it, so I asked them the question found in this topic posted earlier.  The manufacturer says that I can cut the Corrosion X with mineral spirits to lower the viscosity so that it can atomize at lower pressures, but it will reduce the efficacy by the percent dilluted with the mineral spirits.

Kent,

The short answer to your question of why is CorrosionX better is Polar Bonding.  All other products except Corrosion Block coat metal and do not polar bond to the metal molecules.

There is only one similar product which is Corrosion Block.  Corrosion Block is a fine product made in Canada that contains petroleum products.

CorrosionX is made in Dallas and is all synthetic.  CorrosionX is fluid thin film technology and polar bonds to metal vs coating metal.  Peter stated he liked the liquid so it would not wash off easily.  Polar bonded CorrosionX can not be washed off even with soap and water.  CorrosionX can be removed for painting by a thorough sanding and/or wiping thoroughly with a strong solvent.  The polar bond is a very tenacious but not permanent bond.

To see CorrosionX in action, get a bare piece of metal.  Mount the piece vertically and tape a horizontal line on the piece.  Spray the piece below and up to the tape line with CorrosionX.  Remove the tape and look at the piece tomorrow and notice the molecules of CorrosionX have leaped over themselves getting to exposed molecules of bare metal and have bonded to the piece above the horizontal line.

All other products coat metal and will not migrate above a horizontal line on a vertical piece of metal.

CorrosionX will not burn, dries so does not gum up locks, is very penetrating, is very lubricating and best of all, kills and prevents corrosion.

Because it is polar bonded to the mechanism of a weapon, it will not sling off as the weapon is fired yielding about 6000 rounds before misfire if my memory is correct.

Because it is all synthetic, it will not stain gelcoat so if you get some on the unpainted surface of my coach or a boat, just wipe off.

Hope this helps you understand why it is better with out knowing the ingredients as like Coke Cola, very few know for sure.

Awesome explanation.
 
WD40 stands for "Water dryer composition 40" use it if you dump your phone in the lake, but it does not inhibit corrosion or lubricate. It replaces water molecules (if they are present)  that don't conduct electricity with a substance that does easily conduct electricity.  That is it.
 
If you want lubrication with Exquisite corrosion protection, use corrosion x.
 
Classic case of  you can buy WD40 at Wal-Mart, so it must be good.
 
WD40  IS NOT A LUBRICANT OR A  CORROSION PROTECTANT.  Although it is a pretty good fire starter.......
 
Corrosion x was developed to protect in route aircraft being shipped via boat on the high seas, it is expensive, but nothing is like it with the possible exception of another aviation derived compound "Acf-xx"
 
Net, carry both, plus a silicone spray lube for your locks, etc. only use WWD-40 when you have water on electronics. It may fell good and seem to work in the short run, but in the end the WD-40 will not prevent corrosion. Nothing matters more than corrosion in your electronics.

Sooooo,,,,one could use corrosion x to spray on the circuit boards with those small switches,like the four button thermostats we all battle... therefore the switches would not act up.....

Change the 4-button thermostat to the 5-button thermostat like many have done.

Gary,

Spraying all circuit boards with CorrosionX is a great idea as most failure is due to surface corrosion.  Spraying once per year will prevent that failure mode.

If a current failure is due to surface corrosion interrupting connectivity, spraying can and does restore connectivity overnight.  If corrosion has eroded the metal completely, replacement is the solution.
