Recovery of tarnished sensors and protection from future corrosion
Restore sensors to fulfill warranty replacement part orders
ZERUST® custom cleaned the sensors and protected them from future tarnish with ICT®520-CB1 Anti-Tarnish VCI Film
An OEM service and parts organization needed to distribute 40,000 sensors crucial to the operation of the equipment they sold over the last 10 years as part of their warranty coverage. These parts were in inventory storage for many years and were no longer produced. When samples of these sensors were inspected before shipment, the sensors were found to have black copper oxidation on exposed areas of the gold-plated contact leads. As a result, all 40,000 sensors were deemed unusable for their purpose, and no replacement was found.
The OEM contacted ZERUST® for a solution to their corrosion issues. ZERUST® performed a custom cleaning service and removed the copper oxide formation without damaging the gold plating or the encased component. In addition, the cleaned sensors were packed in ZERUST® ICT®520-CB1 Anti-Tarnish VCI Film to prevent further copper oxidation.
The customer has been extremely happy with their oxidation-free results and now relies on ZERUST® for all their work-in-process, storage, and shipping VCI needs. Contact a ZERUST® Representative for a comprehensive corrosion management solution most effective for your metal assets.
Use ICT®520-CB1 Anti-Tarnish film to protect silver, copper, bronze, brass, or tin from unsightly and damaging oxidation and tarnish.
Use ICT®510-C VCI Film for cost-effective and versatile protection against corrosion damage for ferrous metals in shipping and storage.
Use ICT®510-C VCI Multimetal Film for cost-effective and versatile protection against corrosion damage for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in shipping and storage.
Use ICT®510-C Non-ferrous VCI Film for cost-effective and versatile protection against corrosion damage for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, and galvanized steel in shipping and storage.
Use ICT®510-CLHD high-density film for interleaving purposes, to laminate other materials or as a replacement for VCI kraft paper during shipment, storage or work in progress.
ZERUST®/EXCOR® ICT®510-SK VCI Skin Film is a polyethylene skin film containing Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors to provide superior corrosion protection to fragile items during shipment and storage.
Use ICT®510-SM VCI Stretch Film to wrap and protect metal items from corrosion and damage in storage and shipping.
ICT®520-HS High-Strength VCI film is less likely to puncture or tear compared with traditional polyethylene film, so it is especially suited for applications that have demanding corrosion protection requirements.
Use ICT®520-CSL Film to save valuable time, equipment, and labor in packaging operations by eliminating the need to heat-seal, apply tape, or staples.
AxxaClean™ 2048 is a fast-acting, safe rust remover that removes light to medium rust and tarnish, even in cracks and crevices. It is mildly acidic (about 2.5 pH), similar to a soda drink that cleans and deoxidizes ferrous metals, brass, copper, and various alloys without leaving a gray residue.
ZERUST® AxxaClean™ 3048 rapidly removes light to heavy rust and tarnish, even in cracks and crevices. It cleans and deoxidizes ferrous metals, brass, copper, and various alloys without leaving a gray residue. It provides immediate protection from flash-rust or re-tarnishing for several days in a controlled environment.
