Services from A to Z
VCI corrosion protection is the final link in a process chain. However, the earlier production and cleaning activities may have a significant influence on the surface condition of metal parts. To create the necessary conditions for really effective corrosion protection EXCOR offers the following expert services:
- Customer-specific assessment of the production processes and the media used for the purpose
- Analysis of the surfaces of the parts to be protected
- Tracking the causes of corrosion-inducing surface residues
- Analysis of all media and cleaners used
- Advice on how to avoid corrosion-inducing residues
- Development of packaging meeting customer requirements
- Testing the packaging via climatic simulations
- Application training (on your premises, at seminars or in EXCOR workshops).
Analysis: actively combatting risk
Soiling and residue on metal goods may render any corrosion protection ineffective, and may itself have a corrosive effect. Incorrectly applied, even VCI corrosion protection reaches its limits, making professional analysis of the precise nature of the residue all the more important. Whether it is fluid, aqueous-organic, purely organic or takes the form of solid deposits on the metal surfaces, EXCOR identifies, analyses and evaluates all residues present using high-tech trace analysis techniques, actively combatting corrosion risks in the interests of our customers.
When conducting these investigations EXCOR's in-house laboratory can draw on the following equipment and techniques:
- Pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS)
- High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
- Ion chromatography (IC)
- Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
