CORROSION COMMENTARY Available to Purchase

CORROSION BY VAPOURS FROM ORGANIC MATERIALS. IT has been known for many years that under certain circumstances organic vapours, such as those from woods, glues, varnishes and plastics, may cause corrosion of metals in restricted spaces. Many of the known examples of this type of corrosion occurred during transit or storage of metal components, and the reactive organic vapours responsible had apparently originated in organic materials used with the object of protecting the metal against atmospheric corrosion or mechanical damage.
