State-of-The-Art-Dehumidification Cost-Effective Corrosion Prevention
Abstract
Moisture-induced corrosion significantly degrades spare parts and material readiness. It increases life cycle and maintenance support costs. Corrosion can be in the form of rust, water stains, mold, mildew or other types of organic and inorganic degradation. Corrosion reduces productivity - or people and of resources. The cost of corrosion to the U.S. economy is tremendous. It is estimated that some $2-4 billion in corrosion damage occurs annually in each of the individual U.S. Military Services. Protective coatings are widely used to protect against moisture-induced corrosion. Properly used, protective coatings such as paint or other topical coatings can be moderately effective in reducing corrosion and protecting against its impacts.
