ZERUST® offers several solutions to prevent rust on cast iron parts before assembly, including a comprehensive range of rust inhibitor coatings designed to protect cast iron and other ferrous metals from corrosion during short-term storage or staging. These coatings are available in water-based, oil-based, solvent-based, and grease-based formulations, offering varying film types and protection durations to match specific process needs and environmental conditions. By selecting the appropriate coating, manufacturers can reliably prevent rust on cast iron parts before assembly and minimize rework.
For situations where parts are only stored for a short period before assembly or further processing, ZERUST® VCI Packaging may offer a more efficient solution. VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) technology protects metal surfaces without requiring the application or removal of coating, allowing parts to move directly into production without additional cleaning steps.
Depending on the protection duration, part geometry, and subsequent manufacturing processes, ZERUST® provides a tailored solution to keep cast iron parts rust-free and ready for assembly. For guidance on selecting the best solution for your needs, you can contact ZERUST®/EXCOR® to speak with a technical service representative.
