Export Packaging –Corrosion Protection
  • This seminar will focus on the role of KPR ADCOR INC and our VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) products as critical components of the export package for companies that have metal parts, electronics, machines and other goods that are being shipped over the ocean or to destinations in North America.


  • This is the primary use  of VCI packaging products such as VCI poly, VCI Emitters or VCI FOAM inserts.

Export Packaging –Rust Control

  •  What is the risk of rust??
    • How much will it cost me if my product rusts?
    • What is the risk of my product rusting?
    • How will rusted parts effect our reputation for quality?
    • How much market share will I lose?
    • Can I afford to take the risk of rejects?
5
Export Packaging –Corrosion Protection

Export Packaging -VCI Solutions
  • Exports are the most vulnerable point in a product life cycle.


  • The container environment is probably the worst condition that it will be subjected to in its life….
  • Most Equipment failures are electronic corrosion during shipments.


7
SOURCES OF CORROSION
  • TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDTITY
    • USUALLY THE BIGGEST CULPRITS
  • SALT WATER (OCEAN ENVIRONMENT)
  • ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
    • ACID RAIN-GENERAL
    • PLANT CONDITIONS
      • HYDROGEN SULFIDE, SULFUR DIOXIDE, AMMONIA AND GENERAL ACID RAIN
  • PACKAGING CORROSION
    • CAUSED BY ACIDS IN CARTON, CRATE OR PALLET
  • TIME
8
Export Packaging –VCI Foam & Inserts
  • The container environment of an export shipment can be the harshest environment the product will ever be subjected to:
  • Companies loose control of the container once the container leaves the dock.
    • Weather conditions (rain, humidity, salt, temp )
    • Customs                   -Shipping Errors
    • Murphy’s law           -Quarantine

Export Packaging -System Solutions
  • There are two major elements for the protection of exported products
    • Physical protection---Outside cover, crates etc.
    • Corrosion protection---VCI Corrosion solutions
  • The costs associated with corrosion are greater than the cost of physical damage!!
    • Yet most companies ignore, are unaware or downplay the risks and costs.
11
Export Packaging -System Solutions
  • There is more than $10 billion  of corrosion damage worldwide each year that occurs in export shipments.
  • Over 80% of these costs are not covered by normal insurance
    • It is up to the shipper to adequately protect the products for normal shipment
    • You need a corrosion control system
12
Export Packaging -System Solutions
  • The requirement for protection of export products will increase at a fast pace.
    • Export volumes continue to rise
      • Global economy that rationalizes production
      • Third world economies are rapidly increasing
      • NAFTA, North American Free Trade Agreement
    • Standards continue to increase
      • Products that are less than perfect are not accepted or are highly discounted.
13
Export Packaging -System Solutions
  • Product standards and expectations will continue to rise
    • Quality


      • ISO 9000 or Equivalent Compliant Facilites
    • Delivery

  • Quick review of the significant elements of a successful VCI solution:
    • 1.  Clean metal surface.
    • 2. An environment around the product that will    protect from contaminants and provide a steady stream of available corrosion protection vapor from VCIs.
    • 3. Isolation from corrosion elements as much as possible
    • 4. Rich atmosphere of VCI around the metal surface.
    • 5.  Rapid VCI diffusion in the package
16
Export Packaging -VCI Solutions

Export Packaging -System Solutions
  • What would this company pay for marine insurance?
    •  About  1/2% of the value of the product
      • $400 for insurance against loss and physical damage

    • What will you pay for corrosion insurance?
      • 3/4 of 1% is a real bargain !!
