Why ZERUST®?

Military equipment, replacement parts, vehicles, and weapons are all made up of metal parts, and therefore, are very susceptible to corrosion—especially when shipped all over the world (often times through aggressive environments) to various deployment sites. Corrosion interferes with the functionality and reliability of mission critical parts and equipment, making it a serious and expensive problem for the military. ZERUST® products protect these parts from corrosion with significantly less man-hours and manpower then other methods of corrosion protection, such as Cosmoline and oils. With ZERUST®, military equipment arrives corrosion-free and ready for immediate use, which is critical to the military in order to maintain operational readiness and equipment reliability.

How ZERUST® Works

ZERUST® products work by releasing an invisible, non-toxic, non-reactive, non-flammable, and odorless proprietary corrosion inhibiting vapor that protects metal components from corrosion for up to five years. Inside a relatively well-sealed package made from ZERUST® materials, or within an enclosure containing them, this vapor will settle on all exposed metal surfaces, forming a very thin protective layer (only a few molecules thick). This molecular layer inhibits the electrochemical reactions at the surface of the metal that cause corrosion.

ZERUST® products do not affect the electrical or mechanical properties or functionality of the metal components that they protect. In fact, they actually help improve reliability by preventing corrosion damage that is too small to be seen by the naked eye.
