Swedish National Testing and Research Institute

Independent test proves that VP90 really works.

The Swedish National Testing and Research Institute have recently tested VP90 in the sort of conditions no-one would expose a valued weapon to. Using normal gun cabinets, degreased weapon components were stored together with 4 litres of water, circulated and heated with a thermostat bath to 80°C for 2 hours then left to cool for 4 hours, to produce humidity to 100% RH and create the worst possible conditions. For good measure, a salty thumbprint was applied to each part and the cabinets were then opened to the air for 5 minutes three times a week. The water actually condensed on the walls of the cabinet and on the test objects for one whole month.


The results
Report Ref: 95M51422E
Without VP90 severe rusting occurred.

With VP90 the parts remained virtually unaffected.

VP90 clearly reduces the risk of corrosion.
