ZERUST® VCI paper/plastic packaging does not affect the functionality of electronic circuitry, nor negatively react with non-metallic surfaces such as plastics, rubbers, or wood. However, since there are so many possible combinations of chemistries, materials, processes, and substrates, we always recommend contacting a ZERUST® account manager to validate the application. Other rust prevention methods such as oils, greases, and other liquid RPs (rust preventatives) pose a much higher likelihood of reacting with plastics, rubbers, and wood.
ZERUST® Vapor Capsules are portable VCI emitter diffusers that are used to protect metals in hard-to-reach areas of control panels, electrical cabinets, and other enclosed spaces.
ZERUST® ZAK-M22 Vapor Capsules are portable VCI capsules used to protect electronics and electrical components and inside enclosures such as musical instrument cases and gun cases. Each VCI capsule has a unique serial number and QR code printed on the label. This feature used, along with the ZERUST® ZAP App, allows the user to be notified of the initial installation location and replacement schedule.
ZERUST® ICT® Plastabs® are thin, light, rigid polyethylene VCI emitter plastic tabs designed to protect critical surfaces within narrow or hard-to-reach areas of parts or equipment.
