Corrosion Technologies
ZERUST Integrity Solutions® technologies have been successfully deployed in refineries, oil rigs, and tank farms worldwide. By integrating our proprietary ZERUST® inhibitor formulations with conventional corrosion mitigation methods - such as cathodic protection and coatings - we deliver advanced, innovative solutions that effectively address costly corrosion challenges.
Our corrosion engineers take protection a step further with our comprehensive Integrated Corrosion Technologies (ICT) system. Backed by years of experience, our experts work with you to select the optimal VCI solution tailored to your specific application.
Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) and Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors (SCIs).
ZERUST Integrity Solutions® is a global leader in corrosion protection for bare metals, specializing in Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) and Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors (SCIs).
These technologies offer clean, effective protection without the need for greases or coatings, making them ideal for preserving metal parts and equipment during storage, transport, or operation.
Trusted worldwide, ZERUST® VCIs and SCIs have been proven safe and effective in extending the life of critical assets.

ZERUST® Zerion® FVS
ZERUST® Zerion® FVS is a highly cost-effective corrosion mitigation solution designed for hard-to-protect areas. It is ideal for use in applications such as the soil-side of aboveground storage tanks, tank pontoons, enclosed voids, large equipment, pipeline layup and casing protection, hydrostatic testing, offshore risers, and long-term preservation or mothballing scenarios.
ZERUST® Zerion® FVS provides two layers of protection:
- Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs): safeguard internal air spaces and exposed metal surfaces, particularly in welded joints, crevices, and coating defects.
- Soluble Corrosion Inhibitors (SCIs): combat corrosion caused by moisture accumulation or water ingress.
Laboratories and Test Facilities Across the Globe (R&D)
Field trials and rigorous laboratory testing are continually performed to evaluate and enhance the performance of ZERUST® corrosion protection technologies. Our laboratory team utilizes advanced analytical and corrosion-testing equipment to conduct accelerated testing in a wide range of corrosive environments across multiple industries, including exposure conditions involving Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S), Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), humidity, cyclic temperature variation, and salt environments.
ZERUST Integrity Solutions® research, product development, corrosion evaluation, and technical support operations are centralized within NTIC’s state-of-the-art research and development facilities located in Circle Pines, Minnesota (USA). While portions of ZERUST® laboratory operations were formerly located in Beachwood, Ohio, technical capabilities and laboratory operations are now fully integrated within NTIC’s Minnesota research facilities.
In addition to NTIC’s primary laboratory operations, ZERUST Integrity Solutions® also collaborates with regional ZERUST®/EXCOR® technical support centers, partner laboratories, and field testing environments worldwide to support corrosion mitigation, preservation, and asset integrity applications across diverse industrial sectors.
