Panelized cover system including a corrosion inhibitor
A protective cover system for inhibiting corrosion of a metallic object. The protective cover system includes a cover for defining a microenvironment adjacent a metallic object and a corrosion inhibitor source for releasing one or more corrosion inhibitors into the microenvironment.
1. A panelized cover system for protecting an object from moisture, comprising:
a plurality of panels each comprising:
a first layer having a first face and a second face, said first layer comprising a superabsorbent material adapted to absorb and store the moisture;
a second layer located adjacent said first face of said first layer, said second layer being liquid-impermeable; and
a vapor corrosion inhibitor source;
wherein each of said plurality of panels is fastened to at least one adjacent one of said plurality of panels.
2. The panelized cover system of claim 1 , wherein adjacent ones of said plurality of panels are fastened to one another with a refastenable fastener.
3. A panelized cover system for protecting an object by forming a microenvironment adjacent the object when the panelized cover system is applied to the object, comprising:
a plurality of panels each comprising:
a first layer having a first face and a second face and comprising a liquid-impermeable water-vapor-permeable material;
a second layer continuously attached to said first layer at said first face of said first layer and being made of a porous material;
a third layer located adjacent to either said first layer or said second layer, said third layer comprising a superabsorbent material adapted to absorb and store moisture from within the microenvironment; and
a corrosion inhibitor source for providing at least one corrosion inhibitor to the microenvironment when the panelized cover system is applied to the object;
wherein each of said plurality of panels is fastened to at least one adjacent one of said plurality of panels.
4. The panelized cover system of claim 3 , wherein said corrosion inhibitor source is incorporated into ones of said plurality of panels.
5. The panelized cover system of claim 3 , wherein adjacent ones of said plurality of panels are fastened to one another with a refastenable fastener.
