When you talk about metals, you can find them all around you. In rooms, houses, buildings, outside areas, roads, fencing, and so on. Without the strength and durability of metals, many commodities are incomplete. At the same time, you face the problem of inevitable corrosion in specific types of metals like Iron and Steel. What you need is to focus on the prevention of corrosion of metals to ensure the longevity of all commodities. Let us understand more about corrosion prevention.
When selecting the metals for the construction of the commodities, it is important to know what type of metals have the tendency to form rust. These metals are called corrosive metals. Iron, Steel, Copper, Brass, and more are some of such metals. Iron when reacts to moisture (air and water) forms an iron oxide which is the base component of rust. Similarly, copper gets tarnished and brass turns green. These are the signs of rusting. In some cases, rusting results in a destruction in the quality of the metal surface and subsequently causes failure in components. Mostly, rusting on iron is destructive while that on copper and brass is easy to reverse.
For the purpose of preventing corrosion of metals, it is important to see if you can utilize non-corrosive metals like stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and so on. If this is not feasible then there are several metal rust protection methods and coatings that ensure the prevention of corrosion of metals.
Daubert Technologies for Metal Rust Protection
Zavenir Daubert has been diligently working in the field of prevention of corrosion of metals and has realized about few technologies that can help. Let us understand how this works.
1.CCI Technology
The concept behind this technology is the polar adhesive property of the molecules that bind them tightly on the surface of the metal to ensure that no external condition is able to reach the metal. Contact Corrosion Inhibition allows a physical oil layering that extends the life of the material. This impermeable layer is enough to stop all attacks on the surface of the metal by extremely humid temperatures and oxygen. This is a very thin film that is easy to apply, and remove, consists of high coverage ratio, allows low consumption, significant cost, and outstanding performance when it comes to metal rust protection.
2. VCI Technology
Daubert’s VCI Technology is based on the concept of Volatility & Polarity and performs favorably even in the presence of moisture. Daubert unique VCI technology enables it to complex with the moisture present in the air therefore retarding or often neutralizing its corrosive effects. Daubert VCI technology-based products are made available in various forms such as oils, packaging papers, and films, emitters, powders which allow their use in multifarious applications across a broad spectrum of industries and at different stages of the product life cycle.
3. SACI Technology
Severe Atmospheric Corrosive Inhibitor technology allows for the microscopic range of overlapping between the highly polarized set of overlapping platelets to block all attempts of moisture and oxygen to penetrate the metal surface. This kind of layering on the metal surface is actively impermeable even in the harshest conditions. This technology allows for a stronghold on edges while ensuring high thermal stability, crack and peel resistance, and the least amount of toxins and lead in the mixture that can harm the metal or the environment. It is environmentally stable and safe as well. This is hence, one of the most effective methods for the prevention of corrosion of metals.

Daubert Products Based on Temporary Rust Protection Technologies
The above technologies by Daubert are applicable in various Zavenir Daubert products as given below.
1. NOX-RUST Liquids: These rust preventive oil-based liquids work on CCI technology by forming a thin layer of impermeable barrier on the metal surface. It provides lower viscosity, high coverage, and low aromatic content along with temporary rust protection.
2.NOX-RUST Waxes: These are based on CCI technology that allows specialized wax coating on the metal surface for long-term corrosion protection against mud, snow, and stone chipping mostly the automotive. It has been approved by the global leading automotive market for having excellent salt spray life, self-healing properties under high pressure, steady crack resistance, resistance to sunlight, and a uniform waterproof layer to ensure temporary rust protection.
Other products include DAUBERT VCI Papers and DAUBERT VCI Films for packaging and maintenance of metal parts during storage or shipment and NOX-RUST coatings.
Zavenir Daubert has been diligent in finding the right technologies to combat the growing rusting issues in metal-based commodities that have caused various losses. These initiatives ensure the long life of any object with the aid of specialized products that work based on the technologies. For businesses like manufacturing, packaging, maintenance, and storage of metal parts, connect with Zavenir Daubert professionals who can help you find the right solution to enhance the component‘s life.
