" The US Coast Guard has seen a five-fold decrease in avionic failures in Corpus Christi using limited dehumidification on HU-25 aircraft. "
By far, the most prevalent source of corrosion stems from the inherent moisture found in the air.
This natural, but unavoidable, humidity catalyzes the corrosion process, acting as an electrolyte between alloys, suspending corrosion inducing ions or serving as the site for the electrochemical process.
Current efforts to mitigate corrosion revolve around protecting the substrate from the environment, for example with the use of coatings and barriers.
Salmek developes and manufactures compact and efficient solutions to these humidity problems.
