## Abstract

A vapor phase corrosion inhibitor-desiccant composite comprising silica gel granules coated with a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor component. The corrosion inhibitor component is selected from a formulation comprising anhydrous molybdates such as ammonium dimolybdate, sodium molybdate and amine molybdates mixed with benzotriazole and sodium nitrate, or from a formulation comprising amine benzoates, amine nitrates and benzotriazole. The composites can be impregnated into foam, extruded with polyolefin films which can additionally be laminated with metallized second film, or encapsulated in an air-permeable container. The corrosion inhibitor formulations have vapor pressures which provide ongoing corrosion protection for susceptible articles situated favorably with respect to the composite.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A permeable capsule containing a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor-desiccant formulation comprising a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor component and a desiccant component, wherein the corrosion inhibitor component comprises, by weight, from about 22% to about 27% sodium nitrite, from about 4% to about 6% benzotriazole, and from about 65% to about 75% of an anhydrous molybdate selected from the group consisting of sodium molybdate, ammonium dimolybdate, amine molybdates, and mixtures thereof, and wherein the desiccant component comprises a granular silica gel, with said corrosion inhibitor component deposited upon said granular silica gel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A permeable capsule as claimed in claim 1 wherein the corrosion inhibitor component comprises, by weight, about 25% sodium nitrite, about 5% benzotriazole, and about 70% of the anhydrous molybdate.

### Claim 3

A permeable capsule containing a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor-desiccant formulation comprising a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor component and a desiccant component, wherein the corrosion inhibitor component comprises, by weight, from about 50% to about 97% cyclohexylamine benzoate, from about 1% to about 20% ethylamine benzoate, from about 1% to about 20% dicyclohexylamine nitrate, and from about 1% to about 10% benzotriazole, and wherein the desiccant component comprises a granular silica gel, with said corrosion inhibitor component deposited upon said granular silica gel.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

A permeable capsule as claimed in claim 3 wherein the corrosion inhibitor component comprises, by weight, about 68% cyclohexylamine benzoate, about 10% ethylamine benzoate, about 20% dicyclohexylamine nitrate, and about 2% benzotriazole.
