PRESERVASI : Corrosion Protection of Electrical and Instrument Enclosed Panel (PANEL PLN)
What is corrosion?
Metal that has been extracted from its primary ore, has a natural tendency to revert to its natural state under the action of oxygen and water. This action is called corrosion, and the most common example is the rusting of steel
The Corrosion Problem in the Panel
Electrical and instrument in the panel will corrode from the impact of air humidity inside the panel.
The air humidity in the panel is affected by the external environment, such as H2S, SO2, NH3 levels, salt levels, air particles, humidity and others.
Preservation of Electrical and Instrument Enclosed Panel
PT PRESERVATION ENERGY NUSANTARA supported Cortec® product offers a full-service line of corrosion inhibiting materials in convenient-to-use sizes and formats. VpCI® emitting systems, packaging, wipes, sprays, and absor¬bent material combine to offer corrosion solutions for any phase of the electronic/electrical life-cycle, from manufacturing and shipping to final installation and maintenance.
Corrosion of complex electrical and electronic equipment is an increasingly serious problem causing expensive failures. Corrosion occurs during manufacturing, shipping, storage, and field operations.
It can be caused by:
- Salt, moisture, contaminants, hydrogen sulfide,
- sulfur dioxide, ammonia, or acid rain
- Galvanically-induced attack

SILICA GEL VS VPCI (VAPOR PHASE COROSION INHIBITOR)
Silica gel and VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) are both used to protect products from moisture and corrosion, but they work differently.
- Silica gel is a desiccant that absorbs moisture,
- while VCI releases a vapor that forms a protective layer on metal surfaces
