Rust Protection for Storage & Transportation
Parts sit in warehouses for months. A durable film plus the right packing protects value until the part is used.
What puts metal at risk
Corrosion in this sector rarely has a single cause. These are the conditions we see most often.
Seasonal humidity
Summer humidity and winter condensation both attack bare steel.
Stacked storage
Films must not make parts stick together.
Dust
Tacky films collect dust and are difficult to clean.
Long idle time
Protection must last years, not months.
Inspection
Stored parts should be spot-checked periodically.
Mixed stock
Different metals share warehouse space.
Matching the grade to the part
Start with the part and the process; the grade follows.
| Part / situation | Recommended grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Precision parts, multi-year storage | KG-8 | Non-tacky, dust-resistant, 3–5 years |
| Heavy equipment and large castings | KG-9 | Thick wax film |
| Equipment storage before shipment | KG-1 | 2–4 years or more |
| Parts with trapped moisture | KG-10 | Displaces water |

Frequently asked questions
How long can parts be stored?
KG-8 is rated for 3–5 years on precision parts; actual time depends on storage conditions.
Does the film attract dust?
KG-8 and KG-9 are non-tacky and do not attract dust.
What shelf life does the product have?
Three years for the listed long-term grades. Store in a dark place.
How should drums be stored?
Dark location, below 60 °C, away from ignition sources.
