A hydrostatic test is a critical procedure used to verify the structural integrity of pressure vessels such as pipelines, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and ship voids. While this testing method is essential for safety and compliance, it introduces a significant risk: corrosion. When left unprotected, the presence of water and ionic contaminants during a hydrostatic

Corrosion prevention solutions were in the spotlight at the 2nd edition of CII CORTEM – International Summit on Corrosion Technology and Management. The event took place July 17–19, 2025, at the Chennai Trade Centre. Representing Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC). Dr. Mahin Shahlari presented the company’s innovative and sustainable corrosion control strategies. Her session was titled

Industrial parts washing systems are crucial to maintaining efficient production, but maintenance lapses can lead to costly downtime, reduced cleaning quality, and safety hazards. In this blog, we explore practical strategies to prevent maintenance issues on your industrial parts washing system and keep it running at peak performance. Improve Industrial Parts Washer Performance Discover how

In today’s manufacturing environment, sustainability is more than a trend; it’s a necessity. As a result, forward-thinking operations are increasingly prioritizing environmentally responsible practices that reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and extend the lifecycle of industrial components. One area that holds significant potential for sustainability improvements is parts cleaning. At ZERUST®, we recognize the importance of optimizing

When metal parts, assemblies, or equipment are exposed to moisture and contaminants, corrosion can begin quickly. As a result, aerosol rust preventatives provide a fast and convenient way to apply corrosion protection exactly where it is needed. ZERUST® aerosol rust preventative sprays allow manufacturers, maintenance teams, and OEMs to protect valuable metal assets during shipment,

Corrosion protection in shipbuilding is a critical part of ensuring vessel integrity, safety, and operational efficiency. From steel hulls to electrical enclosures, components are constantly exposed to harsh conditions, including salt-laden air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Consequently, these parts face a high risk of corrosion. To meet these challenges, modern shipbuilders rely on a combination

Sustainability has become a core expectation across modern industries. As this shift continues, the importance of clear, accurate environmental claims is greater than ever. In the corrosion prevention sector, discussions around biodegradable and compostable packaging are increasing, and with them, the risk of misunderstanding or misapplying scientific terms. Many people call this greenwashing, using environmental

Typically, when most people think of ZERUST® products, they picture them in use on factory floors, in shipping crates, or in industrial applications. And while ZERUST® has certainly made its mark protecting large-scale metal assets around the globe, its products are equally at home in everyday life. From your garage to your gun safe, your

Sustainable VCI Solutions: A Step Toward Reducing Carbon Emissions Reducing carbon emissions is a global priority. Businesses are seeking innovative solutions to minimize their environmental impact. ZERUST®, a division of Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC), is leading the way with sustainable Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technologies. These solutions extend the life of metal components, reduce

As industries worldwide strive for sustainable manufacturing and waste reduction, companies are actively seeking circular economy solutions to minimize their environmental footprint. ZERUST®, in partnership with RecycleMax®, is excited to launch ZeCycle, a revolutionary closed-loop recycling program that transforms used ZERUST® VCI packaging into new post-consumer recycled (PCR) VCI films.
