When used as recommended, VpCI®-423 will not harm human skin or adversely affect most paints, plastics, wood, textiles, ceramics, or rubber. Removing corrosion from metal is easy. Apply VpCI®-423 and rinse with water then use VpCI®-414 or VpCI®-419 for added protection.

VpCI®-705 Bio

VpCI®-705 Bio is specially formulated for use as a multifunctional fuel additive to biodiesel and other bio-fuels. It serves as a corrosion inhibitor, fuel stabiliser, and water emulsifier for biodiesel, diesel, and gasoline. VpCI®-705 Bio provides corrosion protection, lubricity and elastomer protection for biobased fuels. As a fuel stabiliser, this product provides better engine performance.

VpCI®-705 Bio provides excellent corrosion protection for all of the common engineering metals used in automotive fuel systems including aluminum, aluminum die cast and zinc die cast alloys, tinplate, copper, ferrous alloys, cast iron and solder. VpCI®705 Bio gives unique multimetal corrosion protection in all phases: liquid, interface and vapour phases above and below the fuel level.

Biopad®

BioPad® is a unique flexible corrosion inhibiting device constructed from biobased non-woven material. BioPad® provides an eco-friendly sustainable packaging option for corrosion inhibition. Its high VpCI® concentration, in combination with thin design, results in material reduction by up to 94% in comparison to similar polyurethane foam emitting devices.

BioPad® is easy to use. Simply placing the correct size BioPad® into your package will allow metal items to be protected. Parts protected with BioPad® are always ready for use; no degreasing or coating removal is required; just remove the item from the package and put to use.

CorShield VpCI®-146

CorShield® VpCI®-146 is the premium corrosion inhibiting paper in the industry. It relies on Cortec’s patented Vapour phase Corrosion Inhibiting Technology, which has revolutionised the way metals are protected in an enclosed package.

Both sides of CorShield® VpCI®-146 paper offer effective protection to ferrous and nonferrous metals, eliminating the need to stock a variety of papers for different metal types. All that is needed is to wrap items in the paper and fold the edges together, using adhesive tape as needed to hold paper in place.

The VpCI® coating on the paper vapourises, reaching all metal surfaces within the package to provide complete corrosion protection with a very thin, very effective VpCI® layer that does not alter product appearance or require removal before further finishing or use.

CorShield® VpCI®-146 paper is made from 100% recycled content paper and is fully recyclable/repulpable.

EcoShield VpCI®-144

EcoShield® VpCI®-144 is the pre­mium recyclable and repulpable moisture barrier corrosion in­hibiting paper in the industry. It is coated with a water-based barrier coating and shows ex­cellent oil and grease resistance.

Historically, polyethylene and wax coatings have been used to seal porous paper to pro­vide a moisture barrier and/or moisture-vapour barrier. When coated this way, the resulting paper product is an environ­mental problem and cannot be recycled through normal channels. EcoShield® VpCI®-144 paper provides a competitive environmentally friendly alter­native to polyethylene and wax paper, with comparable water vapour barrier properties. It is fully recyclable/repulpable into other types of paper products such as boxes, cardboard, and other corrugated materials.

Eco-Corr Film®

Eco-Corr Film® is the first biodegradable corrosion inhibiting film that contains Cortec’s proprietary VpCI® Technology and provides
excellent contact, barrier, and vapour-phase corrosion protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Eco-Corr Film® will disintegrate into carbon dioxide and water within 2-3 months in a commercial composting environment. The exact time for films to biodegrade is dependent upon the conditions and activity of the disposal environment (temperature, soil quality, activity of microorganisms). Eco-Corr Film® is shelf stable and will not break down prematurely until disposed of in a proper composting environment. It is compostable and compliant to ASTM D6400 (BPI #051109-C).

EcoWorks® Biodegradable & Compostable Films & Bags

Eco Works® ESD is a range of formulations, not a single product and can be customised to your precise needs. Designed with the environment in mind, Eco Works® ESD contains renewable raw materials ranging from 5 – 45%, depending upon the formulation as well as anti-static properties, which reduce or eliminate static buildup. Designed to replace traditional low density and high density films, Eco Works® ESD is suitable for industrial uses. All Eco Works® ESD formulations are certified compostable per ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 and by Biodegradable Products Institute with BPI/USCC logo.

Eco Works® ESD film and bags are recommended for packaging of static sensitive components where triboelectric charge generation is concern. They are recommended for packaging integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, PCB components, telecommunications equipment, electronic and electrical panels, and enclosures.
