Large steel roll supplier
Corrosion management for equipment after facility shutdown
Preserve assets in case the facility opens again, or should they need to transfer equipment to their other plants across the US
ZERUST® implemented corrosion management solutions to preserve large gearboxes, working, and backup steel rolls and electrical boxes along the manufacturing line
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 preserving their assets. In addition, they were looking to protect 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 the manufacturing line.
A local ZERUST® representative visited the customer’s facility to inspect further the assets they were looking to preserve and find the best solution for each application. After analyzing the facility and discussing it with upper management, it was determined that Axxanol™ 707C would provide the best solution to protect the large gearboxes as 707C’s volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) migrate to protect hard-to-reach internal surfaces of the gearbox for up to 2 years‡ from rust and corrosion.
The working and backup rolls would be protected by Axxanol™ Z-Maxx LV corrosion preventative grease in conjunction with large ICT®510-C VCI volatile corrosion inhibitor bags. Axxanol™ Z-Maxx LV provides an easy-to-use rust preventative grease that protects against rust and corrosion for up to 3 years‡. The customer was concerned that a corrosion prevention grease would be difficult to remove when they were back in service. However, Z-Maxx™ LV allows easy removal with an alkaline cleaner when the rollers are back up and running.
Lastly, ZERUST® VC6-2 Vapor Capsule diffusers provided the perfect solution for the electrical boxes along the manufacturing line, as the Vapor Capsules also contain patented ZERUST® VCI technology that protects metal from rust in hard-to-reach areas of control panels, electrical cabinets, and other enclosed spaces, even when they are in operation for up to 2 years‡.
The customer has been extremely happy with their corrosion-free results and now relies on ZERUST® for all their work-in-process, storage, and shipping VCI needs for their facilities across the US. Contact a ZERUST® Representative for a comprehensive corrosion management solution most effective for your metal assets.
Axxanol™ 707C VCI oil additive is a vapor-phase-only corrosion inhibitor concentrate specially designed for use with lubricating oils. Furthermore, It provides corrosion protection of metal surfaces within the void spaces of closed systems, such as internal combustion engines, transmissions, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, or other sealed, lubricated systems.
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.
ICT®510-C Ferrous VCI Film provides cost-effective and targeted protection against rust damage for ferrous metals, such as steel, iron, and cast iron in shipping, storage, and work-in-progress.
ICT®510-C VCI Multimetal Film provides cost-effective and versatile protection against rust and corrosion damage for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in shipping, storage, and work-in-progress.
ICT®510-C Non-ferrous VCI Film provides cost-effective and versatile protection against corrosion damage for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze, in shipping, storage, and work-in-progress.
Axxanol™ 710C is an anti-corrosion oil additive that protects using ZERUST® Contact Inhibitors and Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI). Furthermore, it provides corrosion protection of metal surfaces within the void spaces of closed systems, such as internal combustion engines, transmissions, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, or other sealed, lubricated systems.
