Abstract
Protective coverings are provided that are composed of shrink-wrap and elastic stretch materials in combination with anti-corrosive materials. Highly durable, long-lived shrink-wrap materials are provided that can be used in conjunction with foam or fabric liners. The non-volatile anti-corrosive materials can be incorporated in the shrink-wrap material and/or the foam or the fabric liner. The protective coverings provided can be used to protect any article from environmental exposure, but are ideally suited for large industrial items such as aircraft, boats, vehicles, bulk materials, military equipment and electronics.
