When the damage is already done: how to save and protect your equipment from rust

Rust removal from metal equipment and components

Summer and the holidays are over, but damp and stagnant conditions may have left behind an unwelcome surprise. When machinery, tools or components are started up again, rust damage is often already evident. But there’s no need to scrap valuable materials. With the right approach and our environmentally friendly VCI products, you can effectively remove existing corrosion and apply long-lasting protection – without damaging the underlying material or harming the environment.

Step 1: Clean up & restore

✓ Environmentally friendly: 100% is organic and biodegradable. Reduces waste management; particularly useful in outdoor environments.
✓ Gentle: does not damage the underlying material when used.
✓ Easy to use: Dip, spray or brush on.

Step 2: Protect & lubricate
