How does moisture in a package affect the performance of Zerust / Excor® ICT® packaging products?
Depending on the design of the corrosion prevention solution, some Zerust / Excor® ICT® packaging products may be produced from low and high density polyethylene resins and to a large extent, are resistant to vapor penetration. Some atmospheric moisture will eventually find its way into a closed package. The presence of moisture in a package can be expected during shipments across areas of high humidity. When moisture permeates through the Zerust / Excor® ICT® plastic packaging products (flexible and rigid) the moisture is affected by the vapor corrosion inhibitors that are present in the ICT® product. The Zerust / Excor® ICT® product still inhibits corrosion despite a low level of moisture passing through the plastic. Corrosion problems arise when moisture is allowed to enter a package unimpeded by the Zerust / Excor® ICT® packaging products, e.g. through an incorrect closure or a significant hole in the package. When there is a significant hole in the package, for example, the corros
