Lead times for custom ZERUST® VCI products vary based on product type, material specifications, order volume, and any specialized performance or application requirements. At Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC), we work closely with customers to deliver customized corrosion protection solutions while maintaining consistent quality, performance, and reliability.
Typical Lead Times for Custom ZERUST® VCI Products
For most custom products, standard lead times are approximately 3–4 weeks once specifications are finalized and the order is released to production. This timeline applies to many commonly customized solutions, including:
- Custom-sized ZERUST® VCI films, bags, and sheeting
- Converted ZERUST® VCI paper formats, widths, and roll sizes
- Modified packaging configurations or quantities
- Standard formulation ZERUST® liquid corrosion inhibitors
These lead times reflect normal manufacturing schedules, quality checks, and production planning.
Extended Lead Times for Custom ZERUST® VCI Products
Certain custom products require additional processing, material sourcing, or validation. In these cases, lead times may extend to 8–10 weeks. Examples include:
- Specialty additives or enhanced corrosion protection formulations
- Unique film constructions, thicknesses, or multilayer designs
- Custom colors, printing, or branding requirements
- New or highly specialized ZERUST® VCI product configurations
Extended lead times help ensure that each custom solution meets ZERUST® performance standards and application expectations.
Factors That Influence Lead Times for Custom ZERUST® VCI Products
Several variables can impact the production schedule for custom products, including:
- Order volume and current manufacturing capacity
- Availability of specialty raw materials or additives
- Complexity of the custom formulation or packaging design
- Testing or validation requirements for specific applications
Because every corrosion protection application is unique, lead times are evaluated individually for each order.
