Abstract
A cover () for inhibiting corrosion of a metallic object over which the cover is placed. The cover has an inner surface () defined by a liquid-permeable layer () and an outer surface () defined by a liquid-impermeable layer (). A moisture-absorbing layer () is sandwiched between the liquid-permeable layer and the liquid-impermeable layer. The liquid-permeable layer allows vapor and liquid moisture beneath the cover to be absorbed into the moisture-absorbing layer to reduce the amount of moisture beneath the cover. The liquid-impermeable layer repels environmental liquid moisture, such as rain, sea spray, dew and the like and prevents such moisture from penetrating the cover. A radar-influencing layer () and vapor corrosion inhibitors () may be included in the cover. A method of protecting an object is also disclosed. The method includes covering a metallic object with cover ().
