...Abstract The control of relative humidity by the use of traditional desiccants such as calcium chloride, silica gel, clay etc., is limited by the saturation point of the material and the effects of cyclic drying at higher temperatures and re-absorption of vapor closer to the saturated state. While...

... describes the efficiency and experiences of these new covers and systems using VCI protection in combination with desiccants. In addition to offering corrosion protection, these covers have the added advantage of fast installation and easy removal and cleanup. The results show that these covers provide...

...The military sector lags the industrial sector in replacing legacy methods, such as oil coatings, desiccants and barrier packaging, with VCI materials. This paper offers three cases of cost analyses that were developed for decisions by companies that changed to VCI packaging for protecting ocean...

...Abstract This paper describes the efficiency and service life of different VCI compositions and their combinations with desiccants. Some of the methods used to increase the efficiency and service life of corrosion prevention are discussed. Diagrams are shown which demonstrate the relationship...

.... corrosion inhibitor desiccant gas industries vehicle electronics military equipment efficiency service life INTRODUCTION More than 1000 types of VCI compounds are known, but only a fraction of them are efficient, cost effective and environmentally friendly. VCI’s are a class of corrosion...
