Product Description

Product Description

The nitrite and chromate-free foam pads contain proven ZERUST® Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Technology (VCI). They are pre-cut, flexible, and easy to insert into small spaces, protecting metals in hard-to-reach areas from corrosion in almost any enclosure. Furthermore, ICT® Open Cell Foam Emitter Pads contain a high saturation of VCI, which allows the foam pads to protect more volume and surface area of densely packed and intricate parts. Additionally, the VCI foam emitter may darken when used with VCI film, but color change does not affect product performance.

Open Cell VCI Foam Emitter Pads diffuse invisible, odorless, and non-toxic ZERUST® VCI molecules. As a result, these VCI molecules settle onto exposed metal surfaces inside the packaging or enclosure. Once removed from the packaging or enclosure, the VCI will dissipate from the metal surfaces, allowing immediate painting, welding, or further processing. Open Cell VCI Foam Emitter Pads protect ferrous and some non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper in an enclosure for up to 1 year. However, it’s important to test before use if the foam pad will come in contact with the metal surface.
