Understanding how long rust preventative coatings in humid environments can last is essential for ensuring reliable protection during storage, staging, or shipment. ZERUST® offers several solutions engineered specifically to perform well as rust preventative coatings in humid environments, where moisture, condensation, and temperature fluctuations accelerate corrosion. These coatings are available in oil-based, solvent-based, water-based, and grease-based formulations, as well as oil additives designed for integration into existing fluids or systems.
In humid environments, oil- and solvent-based coatings generally provide the strongest and longest-lasting protection, as they form a durable physical barrier that protects metal surfaces against moisture and humidity. Depending on the product and environmental conditions, ZERUST® Axxanol™ solvent- and oil-based coatings can provide corrosion protection for periods ranging from 6 months up to 3 years‡.
The ideal coating depends on factors such as metal type, required protection duration, and storage or shipping conditions. With its broad portfolio and corrosion prevention expertise, ZERUST® can provide the optimal rust preventative coating solution to meet specific operational and environmental needs. For guidance on selecting the best solution for your needs, you can contact ZERUST®/EXCOR® to speak with a technical service representative.
