Corrosion is defined as the deterioration of a material as a result of an electrochemical attack from its environment (oxidation).

When corrosion is caused by an electrochemical reaction, the speed at which it takes place depends to a certain extent on the temperature, the salinity of the fluid in contact with the metal and the properties of the metals in question. Other non-metal materials can also be corroded by other mechanisms.

Goods transported in shipping containers are exposed to extreme humidity, salinity and temperature conditions.

The only way to control oxidation is by insulating the goods from this destructive environment.

Anti-Corrosion Packaging Procedure
The first step for protection is to wrap the item in reflective polyethylene, which prevents the exchange of air between the packaging and the container.

In addition to protecting the goods from external humidity, this material functions as a thermal insulator, preventing increases in the temperature of the air inside the packaging as well as possible condensation of humidity.

Humidity is not only external. Inside the packaging there may be humidity from the goods themselves or from their container or packaging.

Therefore, we add silicate desiccants to our protection system, which function as oxidation inhibitors, retaining humidity released from the materials inside the anti-corrosion packaging.
