“Corrosion is like an enemy who is always on the lookout to exploit even the slightest weakness in your defenses,” says Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optronics International, a leading manufacturer and supplier of heavy duty LED vehicle lighting. “And when the right safeguards are not in place to fend off corrosion, just like in combat, it can overwhelm you and invade the areas you are trying to protect.
