11.4 - Banking Process
Lessons Learned / Best Practices
• Never use wood dividers when storing finished product in a bank.
Wood can add moisture or it can negatively react with certain
metals to cause permanent damage, such as rust.
• It is recommended to manually apply rust preventative solution on
components manufactured with iron prior to placement into the
VCI bags. This is most essential when the final product is
stored in a high humidity, high temperature environment.
• Part washers should use anti-corrosion chemicals.
• Protection against heat, humidity, thermal cycling. • Extended travel delivery should be accounted for when protecting
the material.
