More often than not, critical spare parts supplies sit idle in a storage environment that, while not directly exposed to the elements, is still subject to the harmful, corrosive effects of moisture in the air. As a result, these often neglected parts are discovered in an un-usable state just when they’re needed most.

While it may not seem to be an issue for the average bolt, it’s a different story entirely when the spare part is a ruined million dollar aircraft engine. Literally billions of dollars are wasted annually when mission-critical inventoried parts fail because of corrosion or moisture-based deterioration.

Yet corrosion cannot occur in environments where the relative humidity is held below 40% as this precludes condensation on metallic surfaces. Since moisture is essential for the chemistry of corrosion to occur, dry air dehumidification provides an absolute deterrent.

Cocoon is a leading specialist in the design and installation of preservation programs for parts storage, saving organizations millions of dollars annually. From temperature and humidity controlled warehouses to unique in-the-field storage, we develop protection solutions that are cost effective, while also retaining accessibility in order to preserve assets, reduce replacement costs and improve readiness.
