The annual cost of corrosion in the United States is estimated to be approximately $276B USD or approximately 3.1% of the US GDP. Worldwide corrosion is estimated to cost over $1.8T USD (WCO; 2005). Environmental factors such as moisture, sand, dust, dirt, Ultra-Violet rays, salt, heat, and impact damages have an adverse effect on material and operation readiness. A full one third of these costs are avoidable by the consistent use of proven corrosion inhibiting and prevention technologies. (LMI; 2008) The Envelop material was developed for the US military through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program with the goal of developing a material to replace vinyl then in use on US Navy ships. Since 2004 has created over a 1,000 cover designs and delivered over 100,000 Envelop covers to military, commercial and consumers worldwide. Envelop is a patented material that consists of multiple layers of material which include a weatherproof exterior shell, a breathable waterproof membrane, a Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI), and wicking layers. Impact resistant and insulating materials can be added to the fabric as required for protection of both equipment and personnel. Envelop has been proven to provide superior UV protection, maintain equipment within 11% of the ambient temperature, reduce sand and grit intrusion by up to 95%, and provide superior impact protection. Envelop has provided Return on Investments (ROI) of up to 40:1, reduced the Total Ownership Costs (TOC), and have proven short pay-back periods. Improved equipment readiness, reduced costs, and freed-up man-hours have been documented by users around the globe. This patented material is provided exclusively by Shield Technologies Corporation.
