What to Do When Rust Prevention Fails?

In manufacturing, companies invest significant time and resources into protecting metal assets from corrosion during storage and transportation. However, even well-designed protection programs can sometimes fail. When this happens, many teams begin asking the same question: What to do when rust prevention fails? Many operations rely on volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) packaging, rust preventative coatings,

Corrosion Prevention: When to Use VCI Diffusers with VCI Packaging

Posted on October 24, 2018
When evaluating VCI diffusers with VCI packaging, many manufacturers ask: Do I need both? While VCI films, bags, and paper provide reliable corrosion protection in sealed environments, certain applications require additional vapor support. Understanding when to combine Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging and VCI diffusers can prevent rust in large enclosures, complex assemblies, electrical panels,

VCIs vs Desiccants. How do they Differ?

Posted on October 22, 2018
When evaluating VCI vs desiccants for corrosion protection, it’s important to understand the difference between VCI and desiccants, because moisture control and corrosion inhibition are not the same thing. While desiccants absorb humidity, Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) actively protect metal surfaces inside sealed packaging. Furthermore, choosing the wrong method can lead to rust, warranty claims,
