Major military aircraft manufacturer
VCI corrosion prevention for electronics and sensors
Meet contract requirements for nonhazardous and effective corrosion control
Switching to ZERUST® Vapor Capsules reduced hazardous waste and increased operational readiness
A major manufacturer of military aircrafts needed fuselage electronics, tooling sets, wing sections, and even complete aircrafts to arrive without corrosion. However, when using oils and greases to protect metals, the manufacturer’s engineers noticed corrosion in various areas. After working with the ZERUST® corrosion management team, the company applied ZERUST® corrosion prevention solutions to stop corrosion during shipment. Using ZERUST® helped them proactively meet their stringent contract and industry standards while safely managing corrosion.
The company implemented the use of ZERUST® VCI Vapor Capsules, models: VC6-1 and VC2-2, to protect the fuselage electronics, wing sets, and tooling sets from corrosion damage during shipment. ZERUST® Vapor Capsules emit a non-toxic, non-reactive, odorless corrosion inhibiting vapor (VCI) that is safe for sensitive electronics. This vapor settles on metal surfaces and forms a powerful corrosion protection shield even in hard-to-reach areas.
All equipment arrived at its destination free of corrosion and in perfect working order! The use of ZERUST® Vapor Capsules prevented corrosion and substantially decreased the use of ineffective oils and grease – saving the company time, money, and workforce while minimizing hazardous waste.

Vapor Capsules are portable VCI emitter diffusers containing proven ZERUST® Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI). They protect metals in hard-to-reach areas of control panels, electrical cabinets, or other enclosed spaces from corrosion, even when they are in operation. Additionally, use these VCI emitter diffusers as a supplement to other ZERUST® VCI packaging products for added protection.
ActivCapsule™ FAC1-1(S) is a drop-in capsule containing proven ZERUST® Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology used as a flash-corrosion prevention product to protect metals from corrosion in hard-to-reach areas in almost any enclosure or as a supplement to other ZERUST® VCI packaging products for added protection.
ActivPak® is a versatile and powerful fast-acting VCI sachet designed to address flash rust and corrosion concerns in demanding scenarios, including overseas shipping and polluted factory environments.
ActivPak®(LS) Flash Corrosion VCI Emitters offer fast-acting corrosion protection in challenging conditions, such as factories, marine environments, waste treatment facilities, and power plants.
Cor Tab® are compressed drop-in VCI tablets that provide superior corrosion protection for metal surfaces and metal items in small or hard-to-reach areas of enclosures, such as electronic instruments, computer parts, small metal parts, inside tool chests, and more.
