Corrosorber® Pouch

Product Description

Corrosorber Pouch is a uniquely designed pouch containing an indicating powder that absorbs corrosive sulfurous gases such as hydrogen sulfide and volatile mercaptans. As the Corrosorber Pouch absorbs these corrosive gases the powder will change from green to black notifying the user when it’s time to replace the pouch. Unlike other products on the market, Corrosorber Pouch will not release the corrosive gases back into the atmosphere. The reaction is irreversible, eliminating any concern about post contamination.

Metals are readily attacked by gases such as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, and other sulfur compounds that can cause severe damage or failures to occur. The Corrosorber Pouch is a great complement to Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI®) as it absorbs these gases eliminating a source of corrosion and allowing VpCIs to function more efficiently.

Corrosorber Pouches are constructed from breathable Tyvek®* on one side and clear PET film on the other; allowing indication of needed product replacement.
