About I.C.C. Industries, LLC
I.C.C. Industries, LLC was founded in Hawaii in 2001 to manufacture and
market the world’s best corrosion inhibitor. TC-11 was first sold to a commercial customer in 2001 to prevent
corrosion on heavy equipment shipped as deck cargo from Seattle to Honolulu.
TC-11 was first sold in Hardware Hawaii Ace in in February of 2002,
and this store has gone on to sell more than 4,000 aerosols. TC-11 was
placed in the True Value warehouse in September of 2003. TC-11 was placed in
the Ace warehouse in April of 2003. TC-11 was placed in the Do-It-Best
warehouse in February of 2005.
In addition to the
remarkable reviews
TC-11 has received from its customers in the field, TC-11 received a coveted Retailers Choice Award at the 2002 National Hardware Conference . TC-11 followed that award with a Dealers Pick Award at the 2002 Hardware Conference.
TC-11 was invented by Bruce
Huddleston, an aerospace engineer who worked on
projects such as the Space Shuttle and the B-1B for Rockwell International.
Mr. Huddleston also worked as a senior environmental engineer for
organizations such as Mobil, Texaco, and
Unocal. Mr. Huddleston also worked as a Project Director for the U.S.
Department of Energy.
A photograph of Mr. Huddleston
working on the Forward Reaction Control System of the Space Shuttle is presented below.

Mr. Huddleston originally developed TC-11 to protect two personal watercraft from the
effects of salt water corrosion. The two original TC-11 test articles are
still completely corrosion free and fully operable after nine years of use
in salt water and storage in a salt breeze.
The rubber, paint, and plastic that has been
exposed to TC-11 for nine years is
unaffected by the exposure. The spark plug boots are still supple and free
of cracks. All of the electrical insulation is in "like new" condition.
These test conditions for the personal watercraft are presented below.

This photograph was taken on
December 25, 2000 at an outer reef spot referred to as "Avalanches" on the
North Shore of Oahu. The wave height is approximately 40 feet from crest to
trough and the wave thickness is approximately 90 feet. The boat on the left
is the original TC-11 test article. A component failure in these conditions
like these is not an option.
