Condensation, often manifested as water droplets forming on cold surfaces in humid environments, poses a significant risk to product quality and longevity. This phenomenon is especially prevalent during shipping and storage, where temperature fluctuations are common. Any resulting condensation will accelerate corrosion, leading to product defects, performance issues, and financial losses.
Contaminants present on product surfaces exacerbate corrosion when combined with condensation to form an electrolytic solution. The rapid onset of corrosion can result in visible damage upon product unpacking, rendering products unusable or non-compliant with warranty terms. Even when corrosion is not yet visible to the eye, product failure is accelerated due to corrosion.
To mitigate the risks associated with condensation and corrosion, several preventive measures can be implemented:

Seasonal Corrosion - Myth-Busting
Posted by Elaine Spitz on Jan 14, 2014 12:01:00 PM
Many of our customers take extra consideration of rust and corrosion in the summer. Heat and humidity abound during summer time and can prove to be detrimental to metal and manufactured parts. Often times the winter months do not get the same attention. On a day in the country’s recent cold spell, a day when a polar bear in Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo found it too cold to go outside (to be fair it was -42 degrees with wind chill) this misconception could prove to be expensive.
