ZERUST® VCI Corrosion Solutions for the Military

The military commonly deals with corrosion as their equipment is subjected to harsh environments while in use and storage. Without the proper corrosion-inhibiting method, the equipment can become compromised, requiring effort and additional refurbishing costs.

ZERUST® has extensive experience in corrosion prevention and remediation for the military. Many ZERUST® VCI and corrosion-inhibiting products conform to Mil Specs, have NSN numbers, and are actively used by armed forces members (CAGE:  56758).

VCI Solutions for the Military

The military has commonly used Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) to protect metal equipment from corrosion. The use of VCIs in the military is driven by the need to protect metal equipment in harsh and harsh environments, as well as to extend the life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs.

VCIs work by releasing a corrosion-inhibiting vapor into the surrounding environment. The vapor adheres to metal surfaces and forms a protective layer that prevents the corrosion of metal. The protective layer dissipates when the equipment is exposed to the environment, allowing the metal to be used, welded, painted, etc. This makes VCIs an ideal solution for military equipment, which is often transported and stored in harsh environments.

VCIs are available in various forms, including paper, film, and emitters/diffusers, and can be used to protect a wide range of metal equipment, including firearms, ammunition, vehicles, and communications equipment. The use of VCIs in the military is increasing due to the proven effectiveness of these products in preventing corrosion and extending the life of metal equipment.

One of the main benefits of VCIs is that they do not require special handling or maintenance. This makes them an ideal solution for the military, where equipment is often handled by personnel with little training or expertise. VCIs are also non-toxic and safe to use, making them an attractive option for military personnel who need to protect their equipment in hazardous environments.

Another benefit of VCIs is that they are cost-effective. By protecting metal equipment from corrosion, VCIs can significantly extend the life of the equipment, reducing the need for repairs and replacements. This can result in substantial cost savings for the military, as well as reduce the need for equipment to be taken out of service for maintenance.

VCIs are also very easy to use, making them an ideal solution for the military. They can be easily integrated into existing storage and transport systems, and they can be easily applied to equipment in the field. This makes VCIs a flexible and convenient solution for the military, which can be adapted to a wide range of equipment and situations.

In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, VCIs are also environmentally friendly. Unlike other corrosion inhibitors, such as rust-preventative coatings, VCIs do not contain any harmful chemicals or solvents, making them an attractive option for the military, which is increasingly concerned about its environmental impact.

In conclusion, the use of VCIs in the military is increasing due to their proven effectiveness in preventing corrosion and extending the life of metal equipment. VCIs are cost-effective, easy to use, and environmentally friendly, making them an ideal solution for the military. As the military continues to search for ways to protect its equipment and reduce maintenance costs, it is likely that the use of VCIs will continue to grow.
