Vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCI) are volatile chemistries and eventually they diminish at the source to provide the necessary protection on valuable assets. Shipping and Storage Covers with vapor corrosion inhibitors are used to protect military equipment, wind energy assets and other high value industrial goods. This paper provides gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) testing and data on corrosion inhibitors. New and used protective covers with corrosion inhibitors; were tested to answer the end users concerns; if the VCIs last as long as the covers do; or do they deplete before the covers need replacement?
