M-236 Additive – Metal Protection Additive Supplier in UAE
M-236 Additive is a liquid Metal Protection Additive developed for blending into oils and solvent-based formulations. It supports corrosion control for metal parts that come into contact with industrial oils, transformer oils and solvent-carried products. Although it can contribute protection for different metal types, it performs particularly well on yellow metals, including copper, brass and bronze.
Alvina supplies M-236 Additive across the UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Supply is also available for industrial customers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.
Industrial oils often perform more than one job. Apart from lubrication, cooling or electrical insulation, they may also need to protect metal components from moisture, corrosive gases and elevated temperatures. M-236 helps formulators add this corrosion-control function without changing the electrical properties of the treated oil. This makes it especially relevant for transformer oil and other specialised oil-based systems.
What is M-236 Additive?
M-236 is a clear amber-to-brown liquid Corrosion Protection Additive intended for use in oil-based and solvent-based products. Manufacturers can blend it into an existing formulation during different stages of production.
Its main role is to help reduce corrosion on metals exposed to aggressive operating or storage conditions. The additive is particularly useful where copper, brass, bronze or other yellow-metal components remain in contact with oils.
Yellow metals do not always develop red rust like carbon steel. However, they can still tarnish, stain, pit or deteriorate when exposed to moisture, corrosive gases, chemicals and heat. Some corrosion inhibitors developed mainly for steel can also be unsuitable for copper-containing alloys. Therefore, selecting an additive designed for yellow metals can improve the overall reliability of an industrial fluid.
Key Features of Metal Protection Additive
- Strong yellow-metal protection: Particularly effective for copper, brass, bronze and related alloys.
- Compatible with oil-based systems: Designed for transformer oils, industrial oils and oil concentrates.
- Suitable for solvent formulations: Can be incorporated into suitable solvent-carried products.
- Maintains oil electrical properties: Supports corrosion protection without altering the electrical characteristics of transformer oils.
- Protection in humid conditions: Helps reduce corrosion risks linked to moisture and humid operating environments.
- Resistance in corrosive atmospheres: Suitable for formulations exposed to hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide conditions.
- High-temperature performance: Offers protection where metals and oils face elevated temperatures.
- Easy formulation: The liquid form allows straightforward blending during manufacturing.
- Low treatment concentration: Standard applications require only a controlled parts-per-million dosage.
Uses of Metal Protection Additive
M-236 can form part of several industrial oil and solvent formulations. Common uses include:
Transformer Oils
Transformer systems contain copper windings and other conductive metal parts. Heat, moisture and corrosive contaminants can affect these components over time. M-236 can be blended into transformer oil to support copper and yellow-metal protection without changing the oil’s electrical properties.
Electrical Insulating Oils
The additive can support specialised oils used around electrical equipment where corrosion protection and stable electrical behaviour are both important.
Industrial Lubricating Oils
M-236 can improve the corrosion-control characteristics of lubricating oils that contact copper, brass or mixed-metal assemblies.
Oil Concentrates
Manufacturers may incorporate the additive into concentrated oil formulations before preparing the final product. Concentrates can contain M-236 at levels of up to 10% by weight, subject to formulation testing.
Solvent-Based Protective Products
The liquid additive can be used in compatible solvent-based formulations intended for temporary metal protection, maintenance or industrial processing.
Metalworking and Processing Fluids
Where an oil-based process fluid comes into contact with yellow-metal parts, M-236 can help control staining and corrosion during operation, temporary storage or equipment shutdown.
Applications Across UAE and GCC
Alvina supplies M-236 Metal Protection Additive in the UAE for transformer maintenance companies, oil formulators, electrical service contractors, lubricant manufacturers and industrial processing plants.
In Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, the product can support businesses involved in transformer servicing, industrial oil blending, power distribution and electrical equipment maintenance. Customers in Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain can also source M-236 for manufacturing, utilities, marine service and metal-processing operations.
Across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Dammam, Jubail, Jeddah and Al Khobar, M-236 is suitable for power, petrochemical, lubricant and industrial maintenance sectors. In Qatar, it can serve transformer workshops, utilities and energy projects in Doha and nearby industrial areas.
Companies in Oman can use it in industrial oil formulations, electrical maintenance and process operations. Supply is also available for customers in Kuwait and Bahrain, where high temperatures, coastal humidity and industrial gases can increase corrosion pressure on sensitive metal components.
