Cortec Cor-Pak® EX VpCI® Film

Cortec Cor-Pak EX VpCI® Film is an advanced corrosion protector for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It contains polyethylene in high-density and is combined with corrosion inhibitors or VpCi.

When wrapped around metal objects, the VpCI within the film evaporates and spreads through the air. The vapour coats the surfaces of the exposed metal including hidden and hard-to-reach areas. Aside from its inhibitor protection, this film doesn’t react with acids, alkalies, and solvents.

• Advanced Corrosion Protection - a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces, safeguarding them from corrosion and rust in harsh environments.
• Enhanced Transparency – means easy and visible checking of packaged items without compromising their protection
• Unmatched Flexibility - a perfect choice for packaging irregularly shaped items, conforming to the contours of your products in a snug fit and optimal coverage.
• Feather- light yet Durable without compromising on strength.
• Cost-effective Solution - outstanding protection at a fraction of the cost of traditional preservation methods
• Extended Shelf Life - reducing the risk of corrosion and increasing customer satisfaction.
• Environmentally Friendly - minimising the environmental impact and promoting a greener approach to packaging.
• Versatile Applications - providing reliable preservation for various industries.
• Customisable Options - including various sizes and thicknesses, to tailor the film precisely to your requirements.

Benefits of Cortec Cor-Pak EX VpCI® Film

Provides the unique advantage of allowing viewable assessment of the wrapped items, saving time and effort during quality checks.

• Can be used to wrap various objects of different shapes and sizes across industries.
• Ensures rapid and robust protection against corrosion, safeguarding valuable assets during storage and transportation
• Offers superior corrosion protection at a competitive price point
• Allows for easy and efficient wrapping, streamlining the packaging process for enhanced productivity in industrial settings
• Reduces shipping expenses due to its lightweight property, contributing to cost savings throughout the supply chain
• Ensures reliable protection even for irregularly shaped or delicate parts, minimising the risk of damage during handling and transit
• Surpasses the moisture resistance capabilities of conventional papers, effectively shielding valuable assets from harmful humidity and condensation during storage and shipping
• Eliminates the need for additional surface preparation such as wiping, dipping, and spraying, making it a convenient and time-saving solution for various industries
• Penetrates even the most hard-to-reach areas of complex metal components, providing a continuous layer of corrosion protection
• Restores protection automatically during package opening by rapidly replenishing the corrosion-inhibiting properties of the film.

Applications

Cor-Pak EX VpCI Film offers a versatile and efficient solution for corrosion protection in a wide range of applications.

• Delicate electronic devices to heavy machinery parts
• interleaving material between metal surfaces
• Hand tools and precision equipment
• storage containers and shipping bins
• Electrical motors and mechanical controls
• Interleaving of coils and sheets
• Bearings, a critical component in many industries
• Interleaving of trays for parts storage/handling
• Foam-in-place process, adding a layer of corrosion protection

Method of Applications

To apply, thoroughly wrap or shroud the metal components, ensuring complete coverage. The unique Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) technology in the film forms an invisible protective layer on the metal surface, preventing the ingress of moisture and air. This innovative solution offers long-term corrosion protection, even in challenging environments.
Metals Protected

• Carbon steel
• Galvanised steel
• Stainless steel
• Copper and alloys
• Aluminium and aluminium alloys
• Brass
• Zinc

Packaging and Storage

The Cor-Pak EX VpCI film comes in both rolls and sheets, with options for standard and custom sizes. For details on minimum quantities and specific sizes, please get in touch with Cortec. To ensure the product's quality, store it indoors at room temperature, and keep it sealed in its original packaging. When stored in these conditions, the shelf life can last up to 24 months. Please be aware that using Cor-Pak EX VpCI film with petro-based coatings might result in potential gel ink transfer.
