DESIVENT CORROSION

(Click on thumbnail for larger image...)

Metal items will quickly rust or tarnish when stored in moist conditions.

Molecules of water vapour attach themselves to the surfaces of the metal.

At higher levels of humidity the thickness of this layer increases. A thick layer of water molecules permits ionic conduction which greatly accelerates corrosion rates.

Lowering the moisture content of the atmospheric air is a proven method of reducing rates of corrosion.
