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!

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.
