Collection: VpCI® Emitters

Volatile corrosion inhibitors are an innovative solution for protecting metal components from corrosion. These devices utilise vapor phase corrosion inhibitors, offering advanced corrosion protection for metal. Vapor phase technology involves the release of vapors that form a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces. 

This ensures long-term protection even in adverse conditions, making VpCI Emitters ideal for safeguarding critical electronic equipment during operation, shipping, or storage.

Introduction to VpCI Emitters

Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) emitters are innovative devices designed to provide corrosion protection for metal components and parts in non-ventilated control boxes, cabinets, or tool boxes. These unique devices emit vapors that form a molecular layer on internal metal surfaces, protecting critical, complex, and expensive electronic equipment from corrosion. VpCI emitters are an effective solution for industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, industrial, and marine, where corrosion protection is crucial.

Cortec have a wide range of best in class VpCI Emitters. Available to suit a wide variety of applications VpCI Emitters are a way to provide continuous corrosion protection in an enclosed space.

How VpCI Emitters Work

Cortec’s VpCI Emitters are designed to provide continuous corrosion protection in enclosed spaces using volatile corrosion inhibitors, making them an ideal solution for a wide range of applications. These unique devices emit vapors that form a molecular layer on internal metal surfaces, protecting critical, complex, and expensive electronic equipment from corrosion.

The breathable Tyvek membrane cover allows for the slow release of corrosion inhibitors, which are designed to provide long-term protection against corrosion in the presence of adverse conditions, including salt, moisture, airborne contaminants, H2S, SO2, NH3, and others. This molecular layer blocks the ability of oxygen, moisture, and other corrosive elements to attack metal surfaces, ensuring that metal components and parts remain protected during operation, shipping, or storage.

These emitters are particularly effective in corrosive environments, where they provide a robust defence against rust and other forms of corrosion.

VpCI Emitters are available in various sizes to suit different applications, including non-ventilated control boxes, cabinets, or tool boxes. They are easy to use and require no special equipment or training, making them a cost-effective solution for protecting metal components and products from corrosion. With Cortec’s VpCI Emitters, you can ensure that your metal components and parts remain protected from corrosion, reducing the need for frequent replacement and minimising downtime.

Benefits of Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors

Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI) offer numerous benefits for industries that rely on metal components and parts. Some of the key benefits of VpCI include:

• Long-term corrosion protection: VpCI emitters provide long-term protection against corrosion, even in the presence of adverse conditions such as salt, moisture, airborne contaminants, H2S, SO2, NH3, and others.
• Cost-effective solution: VpCI emitters are a cost-effective solution for corrosion protection, reducing the need for frequent replacement of parts and equipment.
• Easy to use: VpCI emitters are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, making them a convenient solution for industries with limited resources.
• Effective in non-ventilated spaces: VpCI emitters are designed to work in non-ventilated control boxes, cabinets, or tool boxes, making them ideal for industries where ventilation is limited.
• Protects critical equipment: VpCI emitters protect critical, complex, and expensive electronic equipment from corrosion, ensuring that equipment remains functional and reliable.
• Reduces downtime: By preventing corrosion, VpCI emitters reduce downtime and increase productivity, allowing industries to operate more efficiently.
• Environmentally friendly: VpCI emitters are a non-toxic and environmentally friendly solution for corrosion protection, making them an attractive option for industries that prioritise sustainability.

Overall, VpCI emitters are a reliable and effective solution for industries that require corrosion protection for metal components and parts. Their unique design and benefits make them an essential tool for industries that rely on metal equipment and machinery.

These emitters are a critical component in any corrosion control strategy, providing reliable protection for metal components. This makes them a high-performance, compact & cost-effective way to protect against the corrosion of metals in enclosed spaces. These emitters create a protective layer on all accessible metal surfaces to protect critical and expensive electronic equipment during operation, shipping, or storage.

Cortec VpCI Emitters are versatile too. Available in a variety of sizes and formats, they deliver effective protection for metal components into the long term (up to 24 months).

Where space is at a premium, consider either the self-adhesive VpCI 101 emitter pads or for awkward or recessed void spaces, take a look at the easy-to-disperse Cor-Pak® Tablets for convenient VpCI protection against corrosion. These devices provide corrosion protection by releasing vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors that create a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces.

Consider VpCI 111 Emitter capsules for the prevention of corrosion in non-ventilated cabinets, enclosures, and cases. These compact, self-adhesive emitter pads are ideal for electrical equipment that is either in operation, packaged, or being stored. They provide vapor phase corrosion inhibitor protection up to 11.0 feet³ (0.31 mtr³).

For further-reaching protection, take a look at VpCI 105 for a protection radius up to 5.0 feet³ (0.14 mtr³).

Dual Action VpCi Emitters for internal metal surfaces

Several of our VpCI emitters combine the dual action of high performance desiccants with the enhanced corrosion control method of volatile corrosion inhibitors and VpCI®.

These emitters are particularly effective in corrosive environments, providing a dual layer of protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.

This makes them perfect materials for use in overseas shipping & export packaging. For these projects take a look at Desicorr® or the CorPak®1-MUL/8-MUL desiccants.

For the lining of export packing cases take a look at VpCI 150 & 170. These adhesive backed foam tapes offer the benefit of a cushioning tape with the enhanced protection of VpCI Corrosion Inhibitors.

For those looking to enhance their environmental credentials with their VpCI emitter pads consider the patent pending BioEmitter pad for a safe, environmentally friendly solution to corrosion protection.

Where corrosive gases are concerns take a look at our Corrosorber® emitter capsules. They effectively absorb hydrogen sulfide, volatile mercaptans, and other corrosive gas ingresses.

If you are looking for a flexible VpCI emitter solution that can be wrapped around products and parts themselves consider CorrNetting™, innovative protective mesh netting that offers both physical and cushioning protection to products whilst also providing market leading corrosion protection.
