RustShield™:

RustShield™ is an exciting new product for protecting ferrous and other metal items from corrosion. We have added VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) to cross-linked polyethylene foam. This product will be produced domestically and will be available either as sheets or finished parts.

How VCI works:

As shown by the sketch the VCI volatizes from the foam carrier and coats the surface of the metal. This forms a protective barrier preventing moisture, salt, dirt, oxygen and other corrosion causing materials from depositing directly onto the metal. The VCI molecules passivates the charged surface and creates a barrier to a depth of 3 to 5 molecules.

Air tight packing is not required

Before and after use, simply store objects in or on the foam surface of your container. The protective layer begins to dissipate from the foam after the container is closed. When its time to reuse the object, the metal is clean and corrosion-free.
