PROTECTION TYPE Ferrous corrosion protection capability (steel, iron, cast iron). UV, anti-static, and other additional protection options available upon request.
PROTECTION LIFE Will provide rust protection for clean ferrous metals for up to five (5) years if prepared, packed and stored in a dry shelter away from direct sunlight and rain.
SHELF LIFE Shelf life of 2 years if stored at 85° F or less, out of direct sunlight and in original packaging.
Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA Ferrous Film is the latest generation of corrosion inhibiting plastic packaging made with a new active formulation that provides corrosion protection in challenging environments such as acid gas pollution, salt air, etc. It also utilizes chemical scavenging technology to neutralize any hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, or chlorides that may be present. The G4 corrosion inhibiting formulation is non-toxic, odorless and does not contain heavy metals.
The Problem
Ferrous metals such as iron and steel naturally corrode in the presence of moisture and air. This corrosion is accelerated exponentially in the presence of acid gases such as sulfur dioxide. Acid gases are found in our atmosphere and have especially high concentration near industrial sites. Corrosion of ferrous metal leads to costly scrap, customer rejection and costly rework of metal parts. Ordinary volatile corrosion inhibitor packaging is commonly used to offer corrosion protection, but the presence of acid gases reduces its performance.
The Solution
Protected ICT®510G4-CA Film
Protected with ordinary VCI Film
Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA showed dramatically superior rust protection when tested side-by-side with ordinary VCI films. Test conditions included:
50°C (122®F)
100% RH
Sulphur dioxide
Hydrogen sulfide

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA still work if the packaging material has small punctures or tears?
Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA provides corrosion protection via the combination of a volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) formulation that provides active protection inside the package and acid gas scavenging technology that absorbs acid gases as they pass through the package. The special Zerust® formulations have been impregnated into the plastic during manufacture. While small holes and tears should not significantly impair the VCI protection, they do reduce the acid gas filter capability depending on how much acid gas enters the holes. If holes or tears are detected, it is recommended that either these are sealed with plastic tape or that the entire Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA packaging is replaced.
What actions should be taken in order to maximize the corrosion protection performance of Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA?
It is always recommended to ensure all metal parts are properly cleaned and dried before packing them in Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA. Always wear clean, lintfree gloves when handling metal, and never touch metal surfaces with bare skin. Seal the Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA packaging as quickly as possible after packing. Store the sealed package in a dry shelter away from direct sunlight and rain.
How long can Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA protect metal from corrosion?
Clean, properly packed and stored metals can be protected from corrosion by Zerust® ICT®510G4-CA for up to five (5) years. In order to ensure maximum effectiveness, please contact a Zerust® representative to help you design the appropriate corrosion protection system for your needs.
