How does ICT® work?

Zerust ICT products prevent corrosion in several ways.

1. By acting as a protective barrier from external dirt and abrasion, and also as a barrier to help block the diffusion of corrosive acid gas pollutants from outside and inside the ICT packaging (such as sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide)—thereby preventing contact between these corrosive gases and the enclosed metal surfaces.
2. By emitting vapor corrosion inhibitors that passivate the electron flow between the anodic and cathodic areas on metal surfaces and interrupt the electro-chemical corrosion process.
3. By depositing a hydrophobic molecular layer and thereby inhibiting water from reaching the metal surfaces and forming the electrolyte necessary for corrosion reactions.
