Coast Corrosion
Coastal areas have high salt content. When droplets of salty ocean water evaporate, the salt content is left floating in the air. When salt settles on HVAC fins and coils it inhibits heat transfer and accelerates corrosion.

HVAC Coil Protection Spray
Coil Shield is a protective spray designed specifically for outdoor HVAC condenser coils. It acts as a conformal molecular barrier to guard against corrosion, mineral scale, and the detrimental effects of salt spray, all of which can inhibit heat transfer and reduce unit efficiency. The product is engineered to be easy to apply, requiring only a single coat to achieve year-long protection, even in harsh environments. Independent accelerated weathering tests have demonstrated Coil Shield's durability, maintaining coil integrity for over 4000 hours of exposure to salt spray, UV light, heat, and industrial chemicals. Field tests in extreme conditions, such as a Florida summer, have shown similar results. Coil Shield is water-based, low in VOCs, and non-flammable, making it safe for user application. It does not interfere with heat transfer and offers a cost-effective alternative to epoxy or silica coatings. Available in various sizes, including 16oz, quarts, and gallons, one gallon can cover a 50-ton coil.Most popular related searches

Coil Shield is a conformal molecular barrier that protects condenser coils from corrosion, mineral scale and other harmful weathering effects, including salt spray corrosion.
Corrosion
Coil and fin corrosion inhibits heat transfer, making the unit less effecient and more exspensive to run. There are multiple causes for corrosion, such as moisture, chemicals, and acids. Eventually as corrosion progresses, refrigerant begins to leak and ultimately the unit fails.
Mineral Scale
All water, regardless of location contains minerals. When water evaporates it leaves behind minerals that develop scale on condenser coils. Buildup on condenser coils inhibits heat transfer, which lowers unit efficiency

Coil Shield was put to the test in an accelerated weathering chamber. The test inflicted salt spray, UV light exposure, heat, and industrial chemical exsposure.
Independent studies in an accelerated weathering chamber showed that Coil Shield treated coils performed for at least 4,000 hours. The equivalent of a year in the harshest weather conditions. At this point the test was stopped. The coils treated with Coil Shield were still structurally intact while untreated fins were falling off copper tubes.
