Are you an individual who is looking for ways to ensure the safety and longevity of shipping containers? Do you worry that your shipping container will go rusty and thus wants to find out ways you could prevent it from doing so?

If that is the case, then you are in luck. In this article, we will be taking a look at ways you can prevent containers from rusting. Let’s not waste any time and dive right into it.

Why do shipping containers rust?

Many people out there ignore their shipping container only to find out after some while that it has been rusted from all sides. Do you wonder why? Well, rusting usually takes place when iron readily combines with oxygen to form rust which is a form of corrosion.

Although almost all the shipping containers out there are made of corten steel which is produced to prevent them from corroding; the material contains a mixture of iron. Once the containers are opened, the chances of them rusting increases as moist air enters and reacts with iron to form rust.

Painting

One of the most common ways of preventing a shipping container from rusting is painting it will make vibrant colors so that the iron does not come into contact with the air.

You could try painting the shipping container but be aware, as sometimes this does not help. If you are thinking of painting, it is best that you paint it with a paint bucket that contains corrosion coating such as aluminum, zinc, or a blend of both.

This can ultimately slow down the process of corrosion and can help to increase its life span. It is important to remember that paint can tear down and scratch during the movement process, so it is a good idea to try to paint several times.

Covering with oil

Another most common and useful technique to prevent shipping containers from rusting is to use oil. The reason behind this is that when you cover the metal container with oil, the oxygen from the air is not able to pass through and react with the iron.

You should also try to have a sufficient ventilation system to prevent the container from going through the process of condensation and oxidation.

Many people out there also try to coat the shipping container with not just oil but also aluminum and or zinc coating for more protection. There are many metal shipping containers for sale that you could purchase and cover with coating.

Local treatment

Last but not least, another great thing to do is to always keep a close inspection of the container on a daily basis.
When you see a small patch of rust forming, you should immediately take action by sandblasting, chipping down the rust, or grinding it with a machine.

After you have successfully done that, you could then lather on a thick layer of zinc paint or oil as this will ensure no rusting takes place in the future.

The takeaway

So these were several methods that you could perform in order to ensure your shipping container does not go through the process of rusting.
