RustTag™ Corrosive Air Indicator
The RustTag™ Corrosive Air Indicator provides long term monitor air quality in data centers, mission-critical facilities, museums, libraries, cleanroom manufacturing environments, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
In controlled environments, limiting fresh air intake significantly increases the risk of indoor air pollutants. This makes air quality monitoring absolutely essential. What's more, modern electronics are increasingly susceptible to corrosion. That's precisely why monitoring air corrosivity using the ISA-71.04 Level G1 standard isn't just a good idea—it's a necessity in today's environments:
-
RoHS Compliance Has Increased Susceptibility:
Lead-free solder and components, introduced under the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, are less resistant to corrosion than traditional materials. This makes sensitive equipment more prone to failure in the presence of airborne contaminants. -
Growing Complexity of Electronics:
Smaller, denser, and more intricate circuit designs mean there’s less margin for environmental stress. Even minor corrosion can result in major system failures. -
Rising Levels of Indoor Air Pollutants:
From sulfur compounds (H₂S, SO₂) and chlorides (HCl) to organic acids and ozone, modern buildings often contain hidden airborne contaminants that can damage electronics without any visible signs—until it’s too late.

Details
Electronic equipment manufacturers, customers, and tenants require third-party reports verifying that critical environments consistently meet ISA-71.04 Level G1 corrosion standards—noncompliance may lead to voided warranties or legal liability.
