Cortec CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate

CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate is an innovative and high-performance packaging solution designed to surpass even the most demanding industrial requirements.

This cutting-edge structure comprises several layers. Each layer contributes to its exceptional protective capabilities.

At the core of this remarkable laminate lies a 0.285 mil aluminium foil, serving as the primary barrier layer. This laminated foil packaging is meticulously laminated to a 4-mil Cortec® VpCI®-126 film, known for its advanced Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) technology. On top of this, a clear polyester extrusion coating is added to complete the structure. In total, the CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate boasts a caliper of 7.3 mils (182.5 microns).

The clever combination of these distinct layers ensures outstanding performance in safeguarding sensitive content. The CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate acts as a formidable defence against various environmental threats such as water vapour, gases, ultraviolet light, and unpleasant odours.

Typical Applications for Barrier Laminate

CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate offers a wide array of versatile applications, making it an ideal choice for various industries seeking exceptional protection for their valuable metal parts.

Export Packaging and Long-term Preservation

CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate excels in export packaging scenarios. Its advanced barrier properties shield moisture-sensitive and oxygen-sensitive metal parts from environmental elements during transportation. This ensures your products reach their destination in pristine condition.

Sensitive Domestic Packaging

In sensitive domestic packaging applications, CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate proves to be highly reliable in protecting metal items. Some products require special care due to their susceptibility to moisture and oxygen exposure. With this barrier laminate, you are assured that the enclosed metal parts remain well-protected and retain their quality during transportation.

Vacuum Packaging

With its exceptional barrier properties, CorrLam® LD VpCI® is particularly well-suited for vacuum packaging purposes. When metal components are subjected to vacuum-sealed environments, this laminate provides an added layer of defence.

Fabrication of Large Format Equipment Covers

The versatility of CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate extends to its use in fabricating large-format equipment covers. The laminate can be efficiently tailored to create custom-fitted protective covers for substantial machinery and equipment.

Small Parts Pouches

CorrLam® LD VpCI® is equally adept at creating small parts pouches. These pouches act as miniaturised protective enclosures, accommodating and shielding smaller metal components from detrimental environmental factors. This application is particularly useful for industries dealing with precision instruments, electronics, or delicate mechanical parts.

Features

This remarkable laminate offers exceptional defence for both ferrous and nonferrous metals. Gone are the days of relying on desiccants, as CorrLam® LD VpCI® eliminates the need for them while delivering complete corrosion protection.

You can have flexibility and durability at the same time with this product. This laminate boasts excellent mechanical properties and ensures reliable performance in a range of applications. Its heat-sealable capability allows for easy vacuum sealing. Thus, it ensures a secure and airtight enclosure for your valuable metal components.

CorrLam® LD VpCI® Barrier Laminate is engineered with an impressively high barrier. It blocks carbon dioxide, water vapors and oxygen. This formidable defence keeps your metals safe from the harmful effects of moisture and atmospheric gases. As a result, it preserves their quality and prolongs their lifespan.

Also, this laminate offers a high degree of puncture and tear resistance. It can withstand the rigours of handling and transportation.

When it comes to moisture vapour and other gases trapped inside an enclosure or package, you can customise and equip the laminate with an optional one-way vacuum valve. This feature allows for the efficient removal of harmful elements from the interior. As a result, it maintains the ideal storage conditions for your metals.

To top it off, the Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR) and O2 Transmission Rate (OTR) of CorrLam® LD VpCI® are impressively low. It measures less than 0.0006g/100 in2 per day. This ensures an extended shelf life and continuous protection, leaving you with peace of mind.

Packaging and Storage

You can request custom sizes for your packaging needs and choose from pouches, covers, and blankets. For further details, please reach out to us. Store the Barrier Laminate material and converted products in a cool but dry location if not in use. The product will last a year while in storage.
