The combined corrosion protection methods described in this review make the efficient long-term corrosion protection of valuable equipment and structures possible. Existing corrosion protection methods using volatile (VCI) or soluble (SCI) corrosion inhibitors, coatings, or cathodic protection systems (CPS) are generally efficient and have a useful service life. This paper describes the efficiency and the application experience of: VCI compositions in combination with desiccants and gases, and SCI in combination with CPS. These methods are used to increase the efficiency and service life of corrosion prevention. The data presented aids the choice of the combined corrosion protection method.

New methods, which allow the range of VCI applications to be reliably extended, are described. These new technologies increase efficiency and service life and decrease the total cost of corrosion protection of military, automotive and railway equipment, electronic and electrical systems and devices, oil and water storage tanks, tankers, ship enclosures, docks, as well as miscellaneous equipment and metal parts.
