Rust Prevention at Every Stage

Metal Working Fluids and Rust PreventionDid You Know … ?

95% of corrosion cases are caused by deposits from previous manufacturing processes – residues of washing liquids, metalworking fluids, dust, acid or base activators or passivators during different coating types or deposits of acid gases during the process.

What this means is that your products are starting to corrode even before they
are shipped. Even with VCI Papers and wraps put on afterward, corrosive elements may have already attached to your metal and started doing damage.

So, what causes this damage?

There are three categories of fluids used in the manufacturing process, and each one has an effect on the corrosion of your products.

1. Metal Working Fluids


This category includes fluids from things like Drilling, Milling, Sawing, Tapping,
Cutting, Grinding and more. Believe it or not, using the wrong metal working fluids in
this early process can cause rust and corrosion from the start.

2. Cleaning Fluids


It may be counter-intuitive, but yes, the wrong cleaning products, or cleaning incorrectly, can damage your products. It’s important to not only use the right cleaning product, but to make sure that the cleaning product has been cleaned off completely as well.

3. Protective Fluids


Here’s the part of the process where most people begin to worry about corrosion, but by now, damage has already been done.

MetPro Speeds Up Automotive Packaging

MetPro Automotive Packaging | Anti Corrosion Packaging
One issue faced by the automotive industry is the need for JIT (Just In Time) delivery.  This means ordering exactly what you need with delivery when you need it. Long lead times are not an option.

With our North America location right here in Mid-Michigan, the heart of the automotive industry, we saw this challenge and met it head on.

What do they need?

Automotive packaging is a deadline driven field. The need for custom orders completed and delivered quickly is necessary to keep business moving and efficient.

As with any business, customized orders on tight deadlines are a challenge, but we put our heads together and figured out a way to make sure we could get specialized orders completed and shipped with shorter lead times than ever.

How did we fix it?

One word: expansion. We put a lot of work into getting the right equipment, and checking what the automotive industry needs to make sure we offer custom orders done fast and right.

“A high demand industry needs a company that can handle special orders with short deadlines, regardless of where they are on the globe,” said Nanci Forster, Business Development Manager at MetPro. “Especially here in Michigan, the automotive hub of North America, we’re glad to make automotive packaging faster and simpler than ever”

Many of our products are now stocked to provide shipment within 24 hours, which means we are able to complete those “Just In Time” orders with time to spare.
