Problem

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.

Solution

The company implemented the use of Zerust® VCI Emitter Diffusers: 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 VCI emitter diffusers emit a non-toxic, non-reactive, odorless corrosion inhibiting vapor 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.

VC2-2 Vapor Capsules protect fuselage electronics from rust & corrosion
For 2 Years

VC6-1 Vapor Capsules protect wing sets and tooling sets from rust & corrosion
For 1 Year

Customer Satisfaction
100%

Results

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 manpower while minimizing hazardous waste. Contact a Zerust® Representative for a comprehensive corrosion management solution most effective for your metal assets.

VCI gearbox
A premier supplier of high-quality engineered equipment for the waste water industry faced challenges with shipping new products to a Southeast Asia country. They needed a solution to protect very large drive housings from rust and corrosion during their long ocean transit. Each drive housing also contained an enclosed worm gearbox which required additional protection as well since they would not be filling it with oil prior to shipping. They were looking for rust inhibiting solutions to protect the entire outer drive housing, which was 80” in diameter as well as the inner components of the worm gearbox. All components in question were ferrous metals made from cast iron or high carbon steel and are known to be highly susceptible to rust from exposure to ocean atmosphere.

VCI gearboxes
A large steel roll supplier that recently shut down their facility contacted Zerust®, as they were looking for a corrosion control company to assist with the preservation of their assets. They were looking to preserve these assets in case the facility opens again, or should they need to transfer equipment to their other plants across the US. They were concerned about preserving the working and backup rolls, large gearboxes and electrical boxes along manufacturing line.

Corrosion Control
An international crating company needed to find a better corrosion control solution than their current method of desiccants with sealed barrier packaging. Finding an effective solution was crucial to the company since their worldwide shipments pass through temperature and humidity swings that can accelerate corrosion. The company was unhappy with the desiccant-barrier packaging method because the desiccants became saturated and needed to be replaced at least every six months, increasing material and labor costs. Also, the barrier packaging frequently became punctured and moisture rapidly filled the desiccants making them ineffective. Once the desiccants became saturated, they became a source of corrosion by emitting moisture back into the package.

Marine Corrosion Protection
Corrosion damage is especially prevalent in marine environments, where salty air, often combined with high temperatures and humidity levels make corrosion prevention a challenge. A major naval organization faced serious corrosion issues on ship aids to navigation, bail-out pump motors, and small engines. Corrosion in these areas cause malfunctions and reliability problems that are not only costly to repair, maintain, or replace but also puts the people that rely on this equipment at risk. The naval organization’s efforts to combat corrosion included methods such as oiling, scraping, and painting. All of these methods were inefficient, ineffective, and costly.
