Protective covers are an immediate and cost-effective way to mitigate corrosion, but it’s critical to select the right cover. A protective cover that isn’t sufficiently air-permeable creates a greenhouse effect that both produces and traps heat and moisture – which can actually accelerate mold, mildew and corrosion.

After a multi-year R&D initiative, AMCOM developed a Protective Cover Specification that defines every requirement that must be met for a cover to be truly protective.

/// COCOON COVER HIGHLIGHTS

• Waterproof while remaining highly air-permeable
• Hydrophobic – they won’t absorb water (wet-weight = dry weight)
• Oleophobic – they won’t absorb oils or lubricants
• Inherently anti-static – safe to use around munitions (NOSSA approved)
• Filters out particulates down to 0.3 microns (fine sand, e.g. “moon dust” is 1 micron)
• No use of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) which sometimes cause corrosion and are detrimental to soldier health

/// PAYOFF

• Improve asset performance and operational readiness
• Reduce Non-Available Days/Non-Mission Capable Hours
• Reduce maintenance man-hours required to inspect and report on corrosion issues
• Significantly reduce unscheduled maintenance costs
• Increase the useful life of your assets
• During a 6 year-period, the Corrosion Office found the average estimated return-on-investment for corrosion mitigation projects was 50:1 (GOA-11-318SP, March 2011)

Cocoon’s Protective Covers are used across all branches of the military, in all climates, and on every type of asset – from helicopters to generators.
