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!

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.

How Do Desiccants Work?

Looking for a long term storage or transportation solution to help eliminate corrosion?

Do you want to use a product that’s environmentally safe?

Are you having a hard time calculating the right amount of desiccant you should be using?

Desiccants come in two formats; activated clay desiccants or silica gel desiccants. Both types of desiccants adsorb moisture within the packaging environment. The amount of moisture adsorbed within the packaging environment is dependent on the quality and quantity of desiccant that’s used. 

The sachets that are used to pack the silica gel desiccants are printed with “Do Not Eat” in black ink. A color is added to white silica gel material to act as a visual indicator. The color will show when the silica gel desiccant adsorbs moisture and may become inactive. If the silica gel desiccant is dried, the indicator will revert to its original color. 

Silica gel desiccants supplied by MetPro come in a number of sachet sizes. The silica gel consists of white beads within non-woven, non-shedding olefin. The material used to make our desiccants are EC food and DEF. STAND 81-68 approved.

The activated clay desiccants called CLIMAGEL are based on natural, environmentally friendly and inert desiccant clay that offers a very high adsorptive binding capacity. Our CLIMAGEL desiccants extract the moisture from the surrounding air in the packaging and bind it permanently.
