What we do
ZERUST®/EXCOR® delivers industry-leading corrosion prevention solutions built around our proprietary Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology. Our core mission is to help manufacturers, OEMs, logistics providers, and end-users protect their metal assets during shipping, storage, and operation across key industrial sectors, such as automotive, energy, oil & gas, defense, marine, electronics, machinery, and water treatment.
At the heart of our offering is a full ecosystem of products, including VCI films, papers, and emitters/diffusers that release an invisible, odorless, and non-toxic vapor to form a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces. This layer passivates electrochemical activity, repels moisture, and helps regulate pH, significantly disrupting the corrosion process. Additionally, we offer corrosion inhibitors and industrial cleaners to support comprehensive corrosion management strategies across a variety of applications.
Our impact is amplified by the Z‑CIS® methodology, a structured corrosion‑inhibiting system that leverages detailed on‑site analysis, lab-based modeling, and real-world shipment testing. This methodology is supported by R&D labs across the USA, Europe, and Asia, and a network of joint ventures in 70+ countries. The result: clients often achieve rust‑free shipment yields of nearly 100% and cut corrosion losses by over 10%.
Our services go well beyond products. We provide technical consulting, lab testing (from salt‑spray to cyclic chamber tests and harsh gas exposure), on-site implementation support, and long-term monitoring. Whether supporting aerospace OEMs or marine fleets, our corrosion engineers deliver tailored solutions that help extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and increase reliability under even extreme environmental conditions.
