Using Moisture Barrier Material for Corrosion Prevention in Military Packaging

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Moisture, the primary cause of corrosion and mold, can cause the rapid deterioration of many products. Overlooking this problem often results in product rejection, failure, and spoilage.

The military understands, probably more than any other entity, the importance of proper protective packaging. From storing large vehicles to transporting complex weapon systems, the right military packaging materials can determine an item's safety and integrity. Whether it's insects, moisture, static, UV rays or grease, a myriad of elements can contribute to a product's deterioration.

When it comes to military packaging (also known as Mil-Spec Packaging) for planes, there’s no cutting corners. The military uses our moisture barrier materials on these, the most expensive planes in history:

C17A Globemaster III: $328 million: This bad boy has moved herds of troops as well as humanitarian aid to Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s capable of deploying over a hundred paratroopers at once. 190 of the C17-As are in service and have been since 1993.

F-22 Raptor: $350 million: This plane can fly long distances at supersonic speeds, avoid radar detection, and shoot down enemy missiles. Lockheed Martin touts it as the best combat plane in the world. And with this price tag, it’s also the most expensive.

B-2 Spirit: $2.4 Billion: Congress originally ordered 132 of these bombers, but they were so expensive they had to cut their order to 21. This bomber is practically impossible to detect, and since it came onto the scene in 1993, has been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

These three planes are the most expensive. It’s nice to know that they use the same volatile corrosion inhibitors you do for your Cessna. More information on Corrosion Protection solutions can be found at http://www.protectivepackaging.net/corrosion-protection
