Re: [meteorite-list] Can this help our rust?

Dear Fellow Meteorite Collectors,     The materials that you are contemplating using are made here in Minnesota for the exclusive purpose of stopping corrosion in metals both ferric and non-ferric.     It is done by coating a surface with a monomolecular layer of a Ionic Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor it prevents galvanic action which is the polarization of the metals surface in a corrosive vapor environment. Corrosive chemicals carried by air and water migrate into the microstructure of the meteorite causing migratory corrosion, the chlorides and their association with the metals are the culprits.     Protection can be provided several ways. Direct application of propriority chemicals that adhere to the substrate. Vapor in a unseen gas form that will come from an emitter, held in foam plastic, low and high density polyolefin film, a cloth wipe such as found in the gun shop. I have these in inventory should there be interest on your part. IF used correctly all these will give you years of rust free meteorites.     I will be at Tucson again in February at  the Vagabond Motel in the ballroom, a free clinic is offered and I'm in the Paleo Bond booth. Cell # 612-840-7139.       Bill Mason    Uncommon Conglomerates  [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tom / james Knudson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 8:45 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Can this help our rust? Hi Tom These products work well if in a confined area, say a glass fronted display, or the like. I can see no reason it would cause harm to the meteorites other than a film of protectant that the excess, if any forms, can be easily wiped off with a good cloth. I can't vouch for how it would do with some of the styrene/acrylic cases that many meteorites are stored in. Styrene is crazed by just regular alcohol, so maybe asking the dealer if he's used it around light guage plastics and such might be a great first step and writing the manufacturer couldn't hurt either. Sure is something to think about, especially with the way those nantans rust.

Hello List, I saw this product for the first time today at a gun store. I would like the list's opionion on if it is worth trying on meteorites?
