Stop Corrosion Before It Starts
Moisture, salt air, and handling contamination are leading causes of premature equipment failure in offshore and industrial environments. ENSIS® DW 2462 actively displaces water from metal surfaces and forms a protective barrier that prevents rust formation during storage, transport, and operation.
- Very Long-Term Protection: Up to 24 months indoor and extended coastal protection
- Rapid Dewatering Action: Separates water quickly to extend bath life
- Thin Protective Film: Dry wax film resistant to cracking and peeling
- Fingerprint Neutralisation: Prevents handling corrosion
- Multi-Metal Protection: Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Operator Friendly: Low odour, barium-free formulation
- Production Efficiency: Reduces cleaning frequency and downtime
- Offshore drilling equipment and subsea components
- Mining equipment storage and maintenance
- Steel fabrication and export packaging
- Marine engineering components
- Automotive parts (bearings, fasteners, chains)
- Industrial machinery and critical spares
Highly resistant to contamination from coolants, rinse waters, and harsh industrial environments.
ENSIS® DW 2462 works by displacing water from metal surfaces and forming a thin wax-like protective film after solvent evaporation. This barrier prevents moisture, oxygen, and contaminants from reaching the metal surface, effectively stopping corrosion before it starts.

Real-World Applications
ENSIS® DW 2462 is used across offshore, marine, mining, and industrial sectors to prevent corrosion on high-value components exposed to moisture, salt air, and harsh handling conditions.
Offshore Drilling Equipment:
Protection of drill pipe threads, couplings, and casing during storage on rigs or coastal yards where salt exposure is high.
Subsea Valves & Hydraulic Components:
Applied before shipment to prevent corrosion during transport and storage prior to installation in subsea systems.
Mining Equipment Storage:
Prevents rust on idle machinery, spare parts, and structural components exposed to dust, humidity, and washdown cycles.
Steel Fabrication & Export Packing:
Used to coat fabricated steel components before containerisation to avoid corrosion during long sea freight journeys.
Marine Engineering Components:
Protects gears, shafts, and assemblies operating in high-humidity and salt-laden environments.
Automotive & Industrial Parts:
Ideal for protecting bearings, fasteners, chains, and machined components after cleaning or machining processes.
