IGL Aegis vs the Elements: Setting a New Standard in Corrosion Protection

In high-demand industrial environments, corrosion protection isn't just important, it's essential. Equipment exposed to harsh conditions needs durable, reliable protection to extend its lifespan and reduce costly repairs. That’s where IGL Aegis comes in.

Recently, Favelle Favco, a global leader in diesel crane manufacturing, partnered with an independent third-party lab to test IGL Aegis against a leading competitor, Rocol Z30, using the rigorous ASTM B117-19 salt spray test. The results were extraordinary and solid proof that IGL Aegis leads the way in anti-corrosion performance.

about the test

Favelle Favco cranes are used across construction, offshore, and industrial applications. The company wanted a transparent, independent assessment to see how IGL Aegis stacked up against Rocol Z30, which claims a 2-year corrosion resistance rating.

Using ASTM B117-19, the standard salt spray test used to simulate long-term corrosion conditions, both products were evaluated under identical settings.

the results

Rocol Z30 showed visible corrosion after just 72 hours.

IGL Aegis remained intact and unaffected well beyond 500 hours, and lab projections rated it to withstand 6000 hours—equivalent to 15+ years in high-corrosion (C5) environments.

In comparison terms, IGL Aegis outperformed Rocol Z30 by 55 times. If extrapolated, IGL Aegis would provide protection equivalent to 110 years under the same conditions.
