Gun & Hunting
Corrosion Hub & Total Corrosion Control protects your guns & hunting from the damaging effects of rust
If you are the owner of a new gun (or are concerned now more than ever about protecting the piece you have), you should know that proper storage is an imperative. Guns are made with metal, and all metal has potential to rust or corrode. To prevent gun rust, Corrosion Hub & Total Corrosion Control
has several gun storage solutions.
Storing your gun
Gun rust is a big problem for those who store their firearms in gun safes. In fact, corrosion tends to happen at a higher rate and more rapidly in a gun safe than out of it. The reason has to do with basic chemistry. Rust, also known as oxidation, is a chemical process that occurs when iron or iron alloys come into contact with water (or moisture) and oxygen.
The only type of metal that “rusts” is iron and its alloys, but other types of metal are prone to similar chemical breakdown processes
collectively known as corrosion. Most modern gun safes are constructed with a thin, steel shell, lined with gypsum board (also known as drywall) and carpet. These products are frequently made with materials such as formaldehyde and pyrite. Pyrite is an iron sulphide.
When it reacts with moisture and oxygen, it can create not just oxidation but sulfuric acid, which can be extremely aggressive in causing gun rust.
Use PowerShield 91Spray to clean your gun and rub it down leaving a thin protective layer on the surface that will keep you gun from rusting in between usage (up to 2 years.) Also deploy a Cortec VpCI105 or VpCI-111 emitter in the safe. Easy to use remove the sticker from the double sided tape on the back of the emitter and stick it against an inside wall of your gun safe. No worries for up to 2 years
Corrosion Hub & Total Corrosion Control Rust Prevention
Corrosion Hub & Total Corrosion Control uses vapor corrosion inhibiting technology to form an invisible, non-toxic, layer of protection around metal components.
Cor-Pak Tablets
provide an extremely efficient dry method of protecting metals within a package. Using VpCI technology, these easy-to-use tablets provide up to 24 months of corrosion protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The VpCIs vaporize and then attach to all metal surfaces, reaching even recessed areas. The protective monomulecular layer does not need to be removed prior to processing or operation. In addition, Cor-Pak Tablets are nitrite, phosphate, and silicate free, making them safe to use and apply. Protects .25cu. ft.
(7L) of enclosed space.
VpCI-101
impregnated foam devices are designed to provide corrosion protection for metal
components and parts enclosed in non-ventilated control boxes, cabinets or tool boxes. A VpCI-101 device protects up to 1 cubic foot (28 liters) in volume.
VpCI-105 emitters
are unique devices designed to provide corrosion protection for metal
components and parts enclosed in non-ventilated control boxes, cabinets or tool boxes up to 5 cubic feet (141.6 liters) in volume. The VpCI (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) emits vapors that absorb as molecular layers on metal surfaces to protect critical, complex and expensive
electronic equipment and other metal components during operation, shipping or storage.
VpCI-111 emitters
are unique devices designed to provide corrosion protection for metal
components and parts enclosed in non-ventilated control boxes, cabinets or tool boxes up to 11 cubic feet (312 liters). The VpCIs (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) emit vapors, which form a molecular layer on internal metal surfaces to protect critical, complex and expensive electronic equipment during operation, shipping or storage.
