This technology is generally known in the industry as Volatile (or vapour) Corrosion Inhibiting technology (“VCI”).
However, ZERUST® chemical passivation technology is only active on-demand (making our technology last longer) and is made primarily of approved food preservatives (completely non-toxic and safe).
The ZERUST® chemical molecules are deposited from the ZERUST® packaging material onto the metal surfaces and form a powerful molecular layer that passivates the metal surface and protects it from corrosion.
This layer is invisible, dry and does not affect the physical properties or functionality of the metal in any way.
The protected metal can be painted, treated and / or used straight out of the ZERUST® package without further cleaning.
