Are Emitters UL (Underwriter Laboratory) Approved?
UL approval is primarily a requirement for fire characteristics. Our VCI emitters do not have this approval. 19. What About Use of Emitters Under Harsh Conditions? VCI emitters have been used very successfully under extremely adverse conditions, including remote control switch and relay boxes located near the sea, Hybernia Oil Project, underground mining equipment, in atmospheres containing over 200 ppm of mixed acids such as SO 2 , H 2 S, HCl, etc., and in partially open control boxes in harsh industrial atmospheres. The more severe the ambient conditions the more advantageous the use of VCI emitters to protect metal components. 20. What About Protection of Silver, Gold, Tin and Other Metals? VCI Emitters use a blend of several different chemicals to provide a corrosion inhibitor for a wide range of metals. They are multimetal inhibitors and will protect most metals under many conditions. 21. What Are the Effects of Higher Temperature? In general, the higher the temperature, the faste
