Heat exchangers are critical components in various industries, responsible for transferring heat between fluids to regulate temperature and ensure efficient system operation. Despite their importance, these systems often operate in challenging environments where exposure to humidity, fluctuating temperatures, and corrosive chemicals can lead to significant corrosion. Corrosion issues are particularly prevalent during outdoor storage and

In a world where environmental consciousness is on the rise, companies are increasingly seeking innovative ways to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability. One such approach gaining traction is post-consumer recycling, and here at ZERUST®, we’re at the forefront of implementing this technology across our VCI polymer packaging solutions. Understanding Post-Consumer Recycling Post-consumer recycling

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) and their transformative impact on the Electric Vehicle (EV) market. As the worldwide leaders in Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Technology, we pride ourselves on providing our customers with comprehensive corrosion management solutions that provide our customers with rust-free results. In this blog, we will explore the

We’re commonly asked by our customers, “what is the difference between VCI Rolls and Sheets?”. So, we’ll take a quick look into VCI and the difference between the two options. VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) packaging materials are commonly used to protect metal surfaces from corrosion during transportation and storage. These VCI poly materials work by releasing

Corrosion is a significant challenge in the steel coil industry, causing damage to steel coils and resulting in decreased productivity and profitability. As a result, rust-preventative coatings have commonly been used by steel coil suppliers and manufacturers to provide steel coil corrosion protection during storage and transportation. However, one solution in the steel coil industry has

In the manufacturing world, many companies go to great lengths to select products and processes to prevent rust and corrosion from forming on their valuable metal assets during transit and storage. They will probably incorporate volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) packaging, rust preventative (RP) coatings, desiccants, or some combination of them. But what happens when their

For nearly 5 decades now, manufacturers and OEMs across the globe have been incorporating ZERUST® Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) products into their packaging applications to prevent rust and corrosion during shipping and storage of their metal goods. However, despite years of experience, not everyone fully understands how VCI works and how to use it correctly

ZERUST®/EXCOR® (Vapor or Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) VCI film, poly bags, and tubing are produced using a process known as blown film extrusion. The polyethylene is melted and extruded into sheeting which is then slit, folded, or sealed to the desired size and dimensions. With ZERUST’s vast manufacturing network, we have over 100 extrusion lines in

Opening up a container to discover corrosion on metal items is frustrating. It often means lost time, missed deadlines, and unhappy people in your supply chain. The loss or rework of the corroded items plus the impact on business all total up to a significant cost. Corrosion can be complicated and may be caused by
