The shop floor and assembly line can be vulnerable places for in-process metal goods. Freshly machined metal is a magnet for flash corrosion—when going in and out of air-conditioned QC areas or enduring hot, humid days in parts of the shop that are not climate controlled. Often, workers apply rust preventatives to unfinished parts for interim protection . . . only to remove oils and greases with a harsh chemical cleaner before the next stage of finishing is done. Cortec® encourages manufacturers to eliminate this waste of time and materials by getting creative with VpCI® packaging solutions. VpCI® Packaging for…
