Case Study
Corrosion Suseptible Construction Elevator Preserved by Flexible
Barrier Packaging in Humid Outdoor Environment for One
Year
An elevator
company, located in Houston, Texas manufactured a
construction elevator for a client that required
outdoor storage until installation could occur. The
elevator needed to be packaged
to protect corrosion sensitive components for an entire year in the intense
humidity of New Jersey's Atlantic coast.
The elevator company contacted Protective Packaging
Corporation and a crew was dispatched down to Houston
the following week. Protective Packaging used VCI
(Volatile Corrosion Inhibiting) .008 mil heat
shrink film to cocoon the elevator. In addition,
desiccant and VCI
Foam Emitters were placed inside
the elevator to prevent moisture from having an adverse
effect upon the parts that were suseptible to corrosion.
The elevator was then mounted to a custom pallet
and shipped via a flatbed truck to New Jersey from
Dallas.
A year later, the elevator's protective packaging
was removed to reveal the part to be in perfect condition
with absolutely no evidence of corrosion or damage
to the components.

Packed with desiccant
and VCI Foam Emitters, the construction elevator
was packaged in .008 mil heat shrink to protect
from long-term exposure to a corrosion intense
environment..
Placed on a custom
pallet and shipped to New Jersey, the elevator
survived a year of outdoor storage with no adverse
effects from corrosion of any kind. |
