In a world where environmental consciousness is on the rise, companies are increasingly seeking innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability. One such approach that’s gaining traction is post-consumer recycling, and here at ZERUST®, we’re at the forefront of implementing this technology across our Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) polymer packaging solutions. Furthermore,

The electric vehicle (EV) market continues to grow rapidly as manufacturers invest in technologies that improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. As this growth accelerates, protecting critical metal components from corrosion becomes increasingly important. Vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCI) help the EV market address this challenge by protecting battery enclosures, electrical connectors, structural components, and other sensitive

Many customers ask the question, what is the difference between VCI Rolls and Sheets? Both options use Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology to protect metal parts from rust during storage and transportation, but each format works best in different packaging situations. VCI Rolls and Sheets are common forms of VCI packaging film used across manufacturing,

Corrosion is a constant challenge for manufacturers and distributors that handle steel coils. Moisture, humidity, temperature changes, and contaminants can quickly cause rust on exposed metal surfaces during storage or transportation. Without effective steel coil corrosion protection, rust damage can reduce product quality, create rework costs, and impact customer satisfaction. Traditionally, many steel suppliers have

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,

For nearly five decades, manufacturers and OEMs around the world have relied on ZERUST® Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor products to protect metal parts during shipping and storage. However, many users still ask an important question: how to use VCI correctly to achieve the best corrosion protection. Understanding how to use VCI properly ensures that the corrosion inhibitors

VCI film additives play a critical role in ensuring that corrosion protection packaging performs reliably in real-world environments. At ZERUST®, we manufacture high-performance VCI film, poly bags, and tubing using blown film extrusion technology, and we offer a wide range of ZERUST® custom options to match your operational requirements. During the blown film extrusion process,

Opening a container and discovering corrosion on metal parts is frustrating. It leads to rework, missed deadlines, warranty claims, and strained supplier relationships. If you are trying to get rust under control, the first step is identifying where corrosion begins. Corrosion rarely has one single cause. Instead, it often results from a combination of handling

Do you currently use Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor packaging to protect metals from corrosion? Are you wondering about the best way to manage VCI storage, such as rolls of poly sheeting or VCI gusset bags, before use? Because VCI products are designed to diffuse protective chemistry into enclosed spaces, proper VCI Packaging Storage is critical. The
