Don’t forget to get “LinkedIn” with our chapter IFMA NI Chap-ter Group

“I get by with a little help from my friends.” – The Beatles That’s what friends are for, right? They are there to pick you up and help you out. They are there through thick and thin. They laugh with you and they cry with you. They give you advice and share the good times and the bad. And although each of your friends is different and unique in their own way, generally speaking you tend to share many of the same values, interests, and belief systems. That’s part of what I have come to appreciate about our IFMA Chapter. As much or more so than any other association I’m involved in, the members of our chapter represent a close-knit group. Egos are left at the door and we all come together for the common interest of supporting the FM community in our various ways and having a good time doing it. We may have different political views and different issues going on in our personal lives, but we take the time to support a common goal – and in that way, we’re all friends. See?? Who knew you had that many friends?! If I take a step back and look at all of the different things we do to support the FM profession and the com-munity, it’s actually pretty amazing.

Monthly meetings – educational and fun! Networking events – can we say Level 257, a boat cruise, a Crosstown Classic baseball game, and K1

Racing (so I’ve been promised) just in the past year alone? Golf! -- Need I say more? Great fun and raising money for charity at the same time! Days of Service – what better way to spend a day and build a team than through doing work for others

in need? IFMA bucks auction – a chance to let our vendors shine and “fight” for top prizes!

With that in mind, let’s not forget the upcoming events in the next couple of months:

August 2: Vendor Showcase and IFMA Bucks auction…don’t forget your BUCKS!! September 6: Monthly meeting at JC Licht in Addison September 10: Day of Service for Aspire September 15: Golf outing – our most innovative one yet!

I can’t wait to see all of my friends at the auction on August 2! And in case you want those last few IFMA bucks for the Auction, the phrase that pays is the lyrics that started this President’s message to begin with. See you Tuesday! Laura Ingram President

Day of Service at Aspire

As the co-chair of the IFMA NI Community Services Community, I am pleased to announce that the annual Day of Ser-vice will be held on Saturday, September 10th from 8:00 AM to noon at Aspire. We will be helping at a few of the group homes with routine maintenance activities: landscaping, painting, cleaning garages, repairing small items throughout the homes. As a facilities manager, I realize most of us don’t have the traditional 40 hour work week. Believe me, I’ve been awak-ened many times during my career in the middle of the night or worked way passed quitting time. So, I know that asking you to volunteer a few hours on a Saturday morning when you have your own lists of “honey-do’s” or other family activi-ties is a sacrifice. However, let me tell you a little bit about Aspire, and why giving a few hours of your time, is a worthy investment. Aspire was founded in the 1960s to provide services to children and adults with developmental disabilities and their fami-lies throughout the Chicago area. Currently, they serve approximately 585 children and 320 adults each year. The group homes, where our volunteer efforts will be focused, are part of Aspire Living. Aspire Living teaches, encourages and sup-ports independence and includes life skills enrichment, including job training, community homes and independent living —to empower adults with disabilities to reach new and rewarding levels of independence. Most importantly, they do not receive any type of state aid, so volunteers, and donations, are critical to their operation. Also, you’ll have fun and get to know your fellow IFMA NI members a little better. And if you are looking for a quality activity for your family, spouses and children are welcome, too. Just please, no small children. We’ll follow up our work activities with lunch at the main facility, where the staff will give tours of their recently reno-vated space. If you are interested in finding out more about Aspire, please visit their website aspirechicago.com. Save the date:

Saturday, September 10th

8:00 AM – Noon Aspire – 1812 South Wolf Road, Hillside

For more information or to volunteer, please contact Linda McInerney at [email protected]

Tips for Preventing Corrosion Corrosion is the deterioration of metals due to oxidizing. Most commonly this is seen as rust. The key to proper corrosion care is stopping it before it starts. With metal corrosion, it is true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

How Corrosion Happens Corrosion can happen to any metal. Most frequently you will be deal-ing with corrosion on iron - that is, rust. In order for a metal to begin to corrode, it needs three elements: moisture, metal, and an electron acceptor. An electron acceptor is an element (usually oxygen) that steals electrons from the metal, which is what happening on a molecu-lar level when a metal corrodes.

When water comes into contact with iron, a chemical reaction immedi-ately begins to take place that quickly oxidizes the iron, turning the iron into iron-oxide (the chemical name for rust). While iron is the most reactive metal and therefore will corrode faster than most others, all metals are susceptible to this process.

How to Prevent Corrosion We already know that in order for corrosion to take place we need metal, moisture and an electron acceptor (usually oxygen). In order to prevent corrosion, we simply need to remove one of these three components from the equation.

The simplest component to remove is the metal surface. This can be done by coating the metal being used with paint or enamel. This prevents the metal from being exposed to oxygen, thus preventing corrosion.

Galvanizing is the process by which a metal, like iron, is coated with another metal, such as zinc. This coat-ing of what is called a “sacrificial metal” protects the underlying metal from the factors that cause corrosion. The sacrificial metal then corrodes instead, leaving the unexposed metal intact. The galvanizing agent (the sacrificial metal) should last for a long time if done correctly; however, it will eventually corrode away, leaving the original metal again exposed and in need of a fresh galvanized coat.

Corrosion Protection in Your Facility Many of the tools, machines and accessories in your facility are likely made of metal, therefore susceptible to corrosion. A few small changes can help reduce the likelihood of seeing corrosion in your shop, thus preserv-ing your equipment and saving your organization money.

1. Seal Your Tools As we know, one of the components for corrosion is moisture. Opting to keep your tools in a sealed, plastic tool chest can help keep them from moist conditions on the floor of your plant. Also try adding a moisture absorbent to help keep the chest conditions as dry as possible.

V O L U M E 3 2 , I S S U E 8 P A G E 1 0

2. Dehumidify Keeping a humid environment increases the moisture in the air and could set your tools up to encounter corrosive elements. If your shop runs on the humid side, try installing a dehumidifier to make for a less rust-friendly environ-ment. This is especially helpful if you have large, metal equipment that cannot be moved or sealed.

3. Use a Corrosion Inhibitor Galvanizing has been made easy with the availability of cold corrosion inhibitors. It is applied like a paint, but has all the same protection as heated galvanizing performed on galvanized products before they leave their manufacturing plants.

4. Keep It Clean Having an excess of dust can accelerate the corrosion process in your facility. This is because dusts absorb water. The more dust particles that settle on your equipment, the more water that could come into contact with their metal surfaces and promote corrosion. Be sure to clean your items regularly to prevent dust-activated corrosion.

The Bottom Line Corrosion is an inescapable truth for anyone using metal. But knowing how it happens is the key to running interfer-ence on rust. Exposed surfaces are vulnerable, so treat them if you can. Reducing or eliminating water and moisture will greatly impact the likelihood for corrosion to occur and slow it down to a manageable, preventable pace.
