Find the Real Source of Corrosion

rust preventionCustomers always look for an issue in their packaging (“it was packed in VCI, so why should it be corroded?”). The real source of corrosion happens before packaging, usually in the washing line, caused by poor maintenance, different materials being washed or simply by the wrong choice of product.

Fluids used during the manufacturing process can be basically split into 3 main groups:

  1. Metalworking
  2. Cleaning
  3. Protective (Optional)

For each group, we have a selected line of products that can be used for specific operations according your requirements. Learn more here!

Why supply cleaners (washing liquids) and preventive coatings?

rust preventionMost 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.

Typical production cycle: 

Incoming material ,metalworking fluid, washing liquid ,VCI packaging, transportation, unpacking, corrosion observation

Customers always look for an issue in their packaging (“it was packed in VCI, so why should it be corroded?”). The real source of corrosion happens before packaging, usually in the washing line, caused by poor maintenance, different materials being washed or simply by the wrong choice of product.

Solve Your Packaging Hurdles with Help from MetPro!

Our customer, Tata Steel, encountered a problem with rolled coils of steel. They were getting dirty and corroded while being stored in warehouses prior to further conversion and packing. To try and protect the coils, they were covering the steel with lengths of clear plastic.

When individual coils were selected for further processing and packing they had to be uncovered which was both time and labor intensive. 

We were asked if we could come up with a quick and easy solution to protect the individual coils.

What are metalworking fluids?

metalworking fluidsMetalworking fluids are oils and water-based liquids used to cool and lubricate metal parts when they’re being bored, stamped, ground, or cut. These processes generate heat that needs to be reduced to ensure optimum productivity and better quality. The cooling benefits of metalworking fluids will help prolong the life of your cutting tools and help to prevent damage to the parts you manufacture.

Prevent Corrosion By Altering The Packaging Environment with MetPro Desiccants!


Are your products moisture sensitive?

Looking for packaging that’s non-toxic?

Are your current packaging solutions failing to protect your products?

Corrosion is a worldwide problem that can cost businesses millions of dollars annually in both prevention and correction actions. We’re experts when it comes to corrosion prevention! We offer world class solutions to a worldwide problem. 

MetPro’s Desiccants come in two formats; activated clay desiccants or silica gel desiccants. Both types of desiccants will adsorb moisture within your packaging environment. The amount of moisture adsorbed within the packaging environment depends on the type and quantity of desiccant used. 

CLIMAGEL activated clay desiccants supplied by MetPro are based on natural, environmentally friendly and inert desiccant clay which offers a very high adsorptive binding capacity. CLIMAGEL desiccants will extract the moisture from the air in the packaging and bind it permanently.
