   Laboratory testing of e-Coating by Carrier and its conclusion that e-Coating is, by far, the best available technology to protect heat exchangers from corroding.

8. Carrier Prohesion Cycle Test Results with added note by CoreKote 2000™, 2003.

   A part of the Carrier study showing that, after 100 hundred hours of an aggressive corrosion testing (Prohesion Test), that e-Coated units retain 100% of their ability to transfer heat.

9. Magnified Image and Diagram of e-Coated Joint from Carrier Study, 2003.

10. "The Valeo™ Heat Exchanger Study" SAE Paper 920180 - Valeo Heat Exchanger Corrosion Study & 10-year Life Expectancy of E-Coated Heat Exchangers.

    A 100+ radiator unit test performed by Valeo, a large manufacturer of heat exchangers, in conjunction with the Copper Development Association, which concludes that e-Coating is the best available technology to retard corrosion on heat exchangers. It measures: rates of corrosion, air-pressure drop, loss of heat transfer (from the e-Coating's film thickness), cost analysis, environmental impact, and process impact in heat exchangers. (The original Valeo study without highlights, unedited.)
