| | Zerust® is in the business of helping clients deploy effective and manageable corrosion prevention systems to control corrosion concerns across their production facilities and supply chains. This is done through a combination of products, services and consulting. Zerust® / Excor® is the corrosion prevention business unit of Northern Technologies International Corporation ("NTIC").
NTIC has been preventing corrosion for 30 years with its Zerust® / Excor® brand of corrosion inhibiting products. In this time, the Zerust® / Excor® Corrosion Inhibiting System(Z-CISSM) has been deployed by almost all major automotive companies and their automotive parts suppliers. The Zerust® / Excor® system has also been deployed in various other industries such as oil & gas, electrical, electronic, medical, machine fabrications, steel production, aerospace, and marine. Please contact the Zerust® / Excor® team today to find out how we can help you reduce money lost to corrosion.
Integrated Corrosion Technologies ("ICT™") is our term for the various material and chemical sciences that comprise our Zerust® / Excor® packaging products. Depending on the corrosion protection requirements and economic targets, Zerust® / Excor® ICT™ products can be designed in one or more of the following combinations to provide the optimum corrosion protection system.
Physical material design and selection
The Zerust® / Excor® team will help you select the most optimum packaging material and design to meet your corrosion protection needs. The material may vary from barrier film, such as aluminum, to regular low density polyethylene depending on economic targets and performance requirements.
Chemical scavenging technology
Depending on the corrosiveness of the environment, the Zerust® / Excor® team may also incorporate our patented chemical scavenging technology into the selected base packaging material to neutralize any acid gases and prevent them from coming in contact with metal components sealed inside the package.
Chemical passivation technology
This technology is generally known in the industry as volatile or vapor corrosion inhibiting technology ("VCI"). However, Zerust® / Excor® chemical passivation technology is only active on-demand (making our technology last longer) and is made primarily of approved food preservatives (completely non-toxic and safe). The Zerust® / Excor® chemical molecules are deposited from the Zerust® / Excor® packaging material onto the metal surfaces and form a powerful molecular layer that passivates the metal surface and protects it from corrosion. This layer is invisible, dry and does not affect the physical properties or functionality of the metal in any way. | |
