After a catastrophic fire or flood incident, emergency damage mitigation procedures can help protect critical mechanical and electrical components, slow down corrosive processes, and reduce metal pitting from the presence of specific chemical ions. Acidic gases generated by a fire will begin an accelerated corrosion process on exposed ferrous metal surfaces. In certain instances corrosion-resistant metals can also be affected. The effects on miniaturized electronic components and critical mechanical surfaces can be devastating. Continental Machinery selects and applies the most effective corrosion-inhibiting chemicals to production equipment, tooling and inventory. Proper treatment reduces the effects of damaging corrosive processes until repair/replace decisions can be finalized with the insurance carrier.
