The Daubert Cromwell Daubrite 1 Emitter is a clever little pouch, about 1.5 inches by 3 inches, made of a breathable Tyvek material. Inside, it holds a special multi-purpose corrosion inhibitor. Its main job is to release a protective vapor that shields both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion when placed inside a sealed space, essentially creating a rust-free environment for your valuable items.

It works by releasing a volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) into the enclosed air. These VCI molecules then travel through the air and settle as an invisible, protective layer on all exposed metal surfaces. This microscopic barrier prevents moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive elements from reaching and damaging the metal, effectively stopping rust and corrosion in its tracks.

This emitter is designed to offer broad protection for both ferrous metals, like steel and iron, and a wide range of non-ferrous metals, which could include copper, zinc, and galvanized steel. It's truly versatile for multi-metal applications.

Absolutely. The Daubrite 1 Emitter is formulated not to interfere with the performance of electrical or mechanical equipment. It provides a clean, dry form of corrosion protection, meaning no messy residues to worry about on your sensitive circuit boards or connections.

Once deployed in an enclosed space, the Daubrite 1 Emitter provides effective corrosion protection for up to 24 months, which is two full years. This makes it ideal for long-term storage or extended transit periods.

Yes, it does! One of the key advantages of the Daubrite 1 Emitter is its ability to protect metals from corrosion even in the presence of moisture. The VCI chemistry in the emitter works to neutralize the effects of humidity and other environmental contaminants.

The Daubrite 1 Emitter is incredibly versatile and finds its home in many enclosed spaces. You'll often see it in control panels, electrical cabinets, junction boxes, toolboxes, fuse boxes, and various other storage containers where metal components need safeguarding.

Definitely! The Daubrite 1 Emitter is an excellent choice for protecting metal parts during transit, especially in sealed packaging, boxes, or shipping containers. It creates a protective atmosphere that travels with your goods, ensuring they arrive clean and corrosion-free.

Yes, for sure. With its ability to provide up to 24 months of corrosion protection, the Daubrite 1 Emitter is perfectly suited for long-term storage applications, whether it's for industrial machinery, delicate spare parts, or even valuable precision instruments.

Absolutely. Telecommunications equipment often contains sensitive electronic and metal components susceptible to corrosion. The Daubrite 1 Emitter is a fantastic solution for protecting these vital systems within their cabinets and enclosures.

Yes, for items like firearms or antique metal pieces where cleanliness and preservation are paramount, the Daubrite 1 Emitter is an ideal solution. It prevents rust without leaving any residue, keeping your collectibles in pristine condition.

While it's designed to protect in the presence of moisture, marine environments can be particularly harsh. For optimal protection in high-humidity and saline conditions, it's always wise to ensure the enclosure is as tightly sealed as possible to maximise the VCI's effectiveness.

Yes, the Daubrite 1 Emitter is excellent for safeguarding automotive components, especially those stored in enclosed spaces like engine compartments, toolboxes within vehicles, or even parts in transit or long-term storage.

Yes, it's very effective for electrical panels and switchgear. These often contain numerous metal components that are critical for functionality and susceptible to corrosion. The emitter provides discreet and continuous protection within these vital enclosures.

Yes, laboratory equipment often involves sensitive metal components that need protection from environmental factors. The Daubrite 1 Emitter offers a clean and non-interfering way to ensure these instruments remain free from corrosion.

Using it is straightforward! Simply place the unopened Tyvek pouch inside the enclosed space with the metal components you want to protect. There's no need to open, cut, or alter the pouch itself. For best results, ensure the space is reasonably sealed.

As a general guideline, you'll need at least one Daubrite 1 Emitter for every cubic foot (approximately 28 liters) of enclosed void space. If you have a larger cabinet, crate, or box, simply add more emitters as needed to cover the entire volume.

No, that's the beauty of VCI technology! The Daubrite 1 Emitter releases vapors that travel through the air, forming a protective layer on all exposed metal surfaces within the enclosed space, even those not in direct contact with the pouch.

The Daubrite 1 Emitter is designed to be safe and easy to use, requiring no special handling. However, it's always a good practice to handle metal parts with gloves before packaging to avoid leaving fingerprints, which can be corrosive.

Yes, for optimal corrosion protection, it's highly recommended that metal parts are clean and free of fingerprints, dirt, or other contaminants before being placed in an enclosure with the emitter. Packaging clean products quickly after cleaning is ideal.

While the VCI vapors will disperse throughout the enclosed space, it's generally best to place the emitter as close to and ideally above the metal components you want to protect. This helps the vapors circulate effectively.

The Daubrite 1 Emitter is designed for single-use, providing continuous protection for up to 24 months in a sealed environment. Once its protective capabilities have been expended or the enclosure is opened, it's best to replace it with a fresh one for continued protection.

Unlike greases or oils, the Daubrite 1 Emitter works by releasing an invisible VCI vapor that leaves no residue on your metal parts. This means your items emerge clean, dry, and ready to use immediately, without any need for additional cleaning or rework.

The emitter itself is designed to be fully recyclable, and the VCI technology used by Daubert Cromwell is generally considered non-toxic and safe for the environment, aligning with many modern environmental standards.

The pouch is made from Tyvek, a unique material known for being "breathable" yet durable and tear-resistant. This breathable quality is crucial because it allows the VCI vapors to be released effectively into the enclosed space while keeping the VCI chemistry contained.

No, the Daubrite 1 Emitter is formulated to be odorless, which is a significant advantage, especially when protecting items that might be sensitive to strong chemical smells or for use in environments where odors are undesirable.

While it's effective in the presence of moisture, VCI protection generally performs optimally in enclosed, non-aerated environments. The storage guidelines for the product recommend not storing it above 130°F (55°C) to maintain its shelf life.

The Daubrite 1 Emitter offers targeted protection in small, enclosed spaces where wrapping with paper or film might be impractical. It's a self-contained unit that dispenses VCI directly into the atmosphere, complementing other VCI forms for comprehensive protection.

Yes, its small size and lightweight design make it incredibly easy to handle and position within tight or restricted spaces, which is a big benefit for diverse applications.

When stored in its original, unopened packaging provided by Daubert Cromwell, the Daubrite 1 Emitter has a declared shelf life. It's important to keep them in their sealed packaging in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use them to ensure maximum effectiveness.
