The shipment reveals its lack of corrosion protection through its current state of appearance. The rust damage has spread to the point where incoming trucks face a receiving dock bottleneck. Your team faces double expenses because they invest time in applying protection which you must pay for twice because they remove it later.
The established process now functions as an obsolete system. The present anti-corrosion treatment method for protection systems requires more than basic rust prevention because protection systems need to match their operational requirements. The main objective has transformed into more than just keeping parts undamaged. The product arrives at its destination with complete readiness for application.
The Shift to Dry Protection
The production process needs VCI technology because it became the industry standard for high-volume manufacturing operations.
The system appears complicated but users can operate it through basic actions. The packaging material receives direct impregnation of chemicals which our PowerShield® paper and VCI film both use as their base material. The VCI creates a molecular barrier on metal surfaces after the parts receive their protective wrap. The system reaches into hidden areas which manual greasing operations tend to overlook.
The real advantage, however, is the “dry” result. The process leaves no remaining substance behind. The package opening process at the destination location causes the VCI molecules to spread throughout the surrounding atmosphere. The component moves directly from its crate container to the assembly work area. Our automotive clients find that removing the washing stage provides them with higher value than the actual price of the packaging materials.
When You Actually Need Liquids
Paper and film solutions fail to fix all types of problems. Physical barriers need to defend the environment because it requires such protection.
You need to protect your equipment from salt spray and humidity when you transport turbines across the Atlantic on an open deck and when you store heavy machinery during the winter season. The Nox-Rust® series of contemporary liquids functions past basic oil performance because they include a variety of features.
These aren’t the heavy tars of the past. They are engineered films. The products develop into a hard waxy surface which protects them during extended outdoor storage but they also serve as lubricants which help you operate the machine without damaging the surface. You must choose a liquid which protects against salt spray and becomes easy to clean when you need to wash it off.
Dealing with the Damage
The system faces occasional breakdowns which affect its operational efficiency. The inventory remains on shelves for extended periods while packaging breaches result in stock corrosion.
The standard reaction requires using an acid bath. The rust removal process works effectively through acid but this method creates metal surface damage which results in pitting and surface finish deterioration. A pH-neutral soaking agent called Rust Revenge® exists as the safest option for this process. The formula works by targeting iron oxide to remove rust without causing any damage to the base metal or rubber seals which exist nearby. The system transforms discarded materials into usable inventory.
The Right Formula
The system requires corrosion protection to function yet it needs both chemical components and supply chain operations to work properly. The “thickest” coating isn’t always the right one. The right treatment will deliver your product from Point A to Point B while keeping it in perfect shape to maintain your production speed.
Our technical team will help you select the correct method for your present supply chain needs. Our team will develop a solution through metal analysis and shipping path evaluation and storage duration assessment.
