Interprovincial Corrosion Control Company

What Interprovincial Corrosion Control Company does

Interprovincial Corrosion Control Company Limited (ICCC), federally incorporated in 1957 and headquartered at 930 Sheldon Court in Burlington, Ontario, manufactures and distributes corrosion control and cathodic protection (CP) materials and provides professional engineering services to petroleum, natural gas, water utility, power utility, petrochemical, and pipeline-operator end-users across North America and internationally. Its core technology is the proprietary Rustrol product line — solid-state Cathodic Isolators (Models SSP and CI), DC-Decouplers (Model DCD), Lightning Gas Gaps, Surge-Seal Protectors, and Polarization Cell Systems — built around diode, thyristor, metal-oxide varistor, and nickel-plate/KOH-electrolyte architectures that block DC cathodic-protection current while freely passing AC fault, lightning, and induced AC voltages. The company complements Rustrol hardware with a broad third-party CP catalog (sacrificial magnesium and zinc anodes under the MAXMAG, Cor-Cap, Cor-Collar, and Plattline brands; impressed-current anodes including Anotec, graphite, and MMO/Telpro types; rectifiers from IRT and Universal; test stations; reference electrodes; isolating materials; PetroWrap coatings; pipeline pigging products; backfills; thermitweld connections; and Buckleys, Fluke, and M.C. Miller instrumentation).

ICCC operates a three-stream business model: (1) sale of manufactured CP and electrical-safety hardware; (2) professional engineering services including CP system design, coating inspection, CP surveys, commissioning, soil resistivity testing, and rectifier monitoring; and (3) turnkey installation services for galvanic and impressed-current systems, test stations, and AC protection equipment. Pricing is fully quote-based with no public list, and go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed from four offices (Burlington HQ, Lewiston NY via the affiliated International Corrosion Control Inc., Calgary, and Quebec/Maritimes) and a network of authorized distributors across twelve-plus countries. The business is supported by the most extensive portfolio of international hazardous-location certifications in its segment — ATEX, ETL, IECEx, KCs, QPS, and UKEx — earned between 2007 and 2024, and by longstanding corporate memberships in AMPP, AWWA, AGA, ICorr, CEOCOR, and PEO.
