Thursday, Dec 04, 2008

Northern Technologies International Corporation has launched a new generation of Zerust Anti-Tarnish protective packaging. The transparent plastic material is impregnated with patented chemical formulations which absorb corrosive gases in the surrounding atmosphere and thereby protects silver, copper and electronic components from damage caused by oxidation, tarnish and corrosion. Target applications for the Zerust Anti-Tarnish products include the protection of the non-ferrous metals in silver jewelry, silverware, copper, musical instrument strings and electronic components, circuit boards and circuit board assemblies.

""NTIC is very pleased to strengthen our global Zerust brand of corrosion protection products with this new market expanding offering,"" said Patrick Lynch, CEO of NTIC.

Zerust Anti-Tarnish products provide cost-effective corrosion protection and a 5-year protection life, while being fully compatible with automated packaging systems. Zerust Anti-Tarnish products are also environmentally responsible, as they are fully recyclable and do not contain any acids or other harmful materials. The new Zerust ICT(r)520-CB1 Anti-Tarnish product line is globally available and can be fully customized into bags, gusset bags and sheeting.
