Corrosion of complex electrical and electronic equipment is an increasingly serious problem causing expensive failures. Corrosion occurs during manufacturing, shipping, storage, and field operations. It can be caused by:
• Salt, moisture, contaminants, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, or acid rain
• Galvanically induced attack
• Equipment operation in non-controlled atmospheres
With Cortec Emitting Systems, sensitive equipment is protected against corrosion, thereby extending its life and reducing the cost of expensive repairs.
BENEFITS
Cortec VpCI sprays, emitting devices, tapes and foams are design to protect components and parts against corrosion for use in interior enclosures which are covered, closed and sealed. Length of protection depends on integrity of sealing and atmospheric conditions.
ASTM D-1748 (Humidity Chamber) Test Results
No Protection vs. VpCI Protection
Cortec’s Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor stands up to vigorous testing.
This accelerated test method for rust protection in a humidity cabinet is used for evaluating the rust preventative properties of metal preservatives under conditions of high humidity. One circuit board was left untreated in an enclosure while the other was treated with Cortec’s Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Electricorr VpCI-248. The two boards were then suspended in a humidity cabinet at 120 degrees F (48.9 degrees C) for a period of four weeks. The criteria for passing or failing the test is the size and number of rust dots on the test surfaces
