RUST is iron’s OLD HABIT. It is the byproduct of iron and moisture, is inexorable, and stopping it is hard work. Unless iron is placed in an atmosphere containing literally 0% moisture, it will rust. Such places do not exist with the exception of labs and testing facilities.
ESD protection may not be the first thing you think about when you enter Antarctica. For most, the singular thought of cold permeates all consciousness and everything else follows thereafter.
Antarctica is the largest desert in the world as well as being the coldest, windiest, highest and driest continent on Earth – yet it holds 90% of all of the fresh water on the planet.
Temperatures can dip all the way down to -133º, or soar upwards to 58º.
