Problem

A large power generator manufacturer in Minnesota was experiencing corrosion issues with their aluminum drip pans supplied from India. Due to the time spent on an ocean liner, the drip pans would arrive at the manufacturer in Minnesota with corrosion along the edges of the pan. The manufacturer needed this corrosion issue resolved. However, they could not use any oil rust preventative and needed a dry corrosion protection solution.

Solution

The ZERUST® representative contacted their joint venture HARITA-NTI Limited, located in Chennai, India, and asked them to visit the aluminum drip pans supplier to analyze the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping process. After the ZERUST® joint venture visited the site, they recommended that the aluminum drip pans be packaged in ZERUST® ICT®510-C Non-Ferrous VCI Film.
