Rust Prevention in Manufacturing

 


The shop floor and assembly line can be vulnerable places for in-process metal goods. Freshly machined metal is a magnet for flash corrosion when going in and out of air-conditioned QC areas or enduring hot, humid days in parts of the shop that are not climate controlled. Often, workers apply rust preventatives to unfinished parts for interim protection... only to remove oils and greases with a harsh chemical cleaner before the next stage of finishing is done. Cortec® encourages manufacturers to eliminate this waste of time and materials by getting creative with VpCI® packaging solutions.

The key advantage of VpCI® packaging is that it is fast and easy to use with little mess. VpCI® packaging comes in many shapes and sizes, all based on Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor chemistry, which only requires an enclosed space and a bare metal surface in order to be effective. When the enclosure is opened, VpCI® molecules begin to float away, typically requiring no further cleaning before the component can be used.

VpCI® packaging comes in many forms, allowing manufacturers to create a tailored solution that best fits their corrosion protection needs. These materials include VpCI®-126 film and bags in many styles, CorShield® VpCI®-146 paper, and VpCI® emitting materials such as BioPad® and Cor-Pak® 8-MUL Pouches.

Corrosion is a constant threat, but manufacturers have the privilege of choosing their weapons. Creative packaging with VpCI® materials makes in-process corrosion protection much easier and quicker than using traditional rust preventatives by eliminating oils, greases, and the hassle of cleanup with harsh chemicals. Do you have a spot in your manufacturing process that could benefit from dry, easy to remove corrosion protection to improve your cycle time?
