CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper for Puncture-Prone Metals

Packaging puncture-prone metals for storage or shipment can be a significant challenge.

Today, most packaging industries use VCI papers to protect metal parts in general from corrosion. However, the challenge arises when these sharp parts puncture the VCI paper.

A VCI paper ceases to be beneficial should it get physical damages from puncture-prone metals.How can you package puncture-prone metals for storage or shipment?

That’s where CorShield VpCl 146 anti corrosion wrapping paper comes into the picture, a USDA certified biobased paper that outperforms all traditional legacy paper solutions.

How Does the CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper Function?
CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper contains VpCI vapour phase corrosion inhibitor technology, which helps protect puncture-prone metals from corrosion. VpCI works by forming a protective molecular layer over metal parts.

Traditional corrosion protection include using oils or grease, which is applied on the surfaces of metal parts to form a corrosion protection layer. Unlike traditional corrosion prevention methods, VpCI keeps metal parts surfaces clean and dry.

In addition to having VpCI, CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper also protects your metal parts from moisture which could cause corrosion. It, therefore, means that this paper is suitable for shipping metal parts in highly humid environments.

This reinforced VCI paper does not break down when it is in contact with grease or aggressive oils. You can package parts with grease or oils. The paper will not harm the layer of grease or oil. Likewise, grease or aggressive oils will not damage the paper.

Cortec’s CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper for metals is strong – it has exceptional tear resistance, which is ideal for packaging puncture-prone metal parts.

Examples of puncture-prone metals include:

• Machine forgings
• Wire reels
• Iron and Steel nails
• Fastenings, etc.

CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper is versatile – it is ideal for use in almost every packaging situation for puncture-prone metals.

When to Use the CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper to Package Puncture-prone Metals
Since CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper is versatile, there are four primary ways which you can use to package puncture-prone metals;

• The standard CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper edges fold together to cover a part from protection. These edges can be attached using tape to protect puncture-prone metal parts from corrosion and moisture.
• This reinforced paper can additionally be used as a crate or pallet lining to protect metal parts from corrosion and moisture during shipment.
• This paper is ideal for interleaving different metal parts to protect them from dissimilar metal-to-metal corrosion.
• It can also cover (or protect) large metal parts from corrosion.

Conclusion
Packaging puncture-prone metals for storage or shipment can be a significant challenge. CorShield VpCl-146 Reinforced Paper contains VpCI (vapor phase corrosion inhibitor), which helps protect puncture-prone metals from corrosion.
