There is a tremendous need for the protection of assets during processing, shipment and storage. Critical spares must be readily available and easy to place into service with minimal impact to the operation of equipment. The proven technology of VCIs(Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors) has long been used to preserve many of these assets using traditional mechanisms such as papers and films. Newer advances have allowed the use of this VCI technology to be incorporated into temporary coatings which are designed to provide corrosion protection in extreme environments, yet still be easy to remove compared to the older traditional wax type coatings or permanent coatings. By incorporating the VCI technology into these temporary coatings, it allows the use of thinner film thicknesses and less reliance on a thick barrier to keep contaminants away from the surface1,4 .
