Cortec Eco-Corr Film® ESD

Cortec Eco-Corr Film ESD is a revolutionary packaging film that combines advanced corrosion protection with static dissipation, all while being 100% biodegradable and compostable. It's unique because it offers comprehensive protection for sensitive items like electronics and multi-metal parts, addressing both rust and electrostatic discharge concerns, in a truly eco-friendly manner.

This innovative film incorporates Cortec's patented VpCI® (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) technology and permanent anti-static agents. The VpCI molecules create a protective layer on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion, while the anti-static properties actively reduce or eliminate static buildup, independent of humidity levels.

Eco-Corr Film ESD is genuinely eco-friendly, certified as 100% biodegradable and compostable by standards like ASTM D6400. This means that once disposed of in a commercial composting environment, it will completely break down into carbon dioxide and water within weeks, leaving no harmful residues or contaminants in the soil.

Eco-Corr Film ESD is engineered to safeguard static-sensitive multi-metal items, making it ideal for electronics, telecommunications equipment, and various metal parts that require protection from both corrosion and electrostatic discharge.

When sealed in its original packaging, Cortec Eco-Corr Film ESD boasts a shelf life of up to two years, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion and static for your valuable items during storage and transit.

Absolutely! This film is designed for versatility, providing excellent protection for items whether they're stored for extended periods or shipped across domestic and international routes, including unpredictable sea container conditions.

One of the significant advantages of Cortec Eco-Corr Film ESD is that the VpCI molecules form an invisible protective layer that doesn't leave any noticeable film or residue on the metal surfaces. This means your components and equipment are ready for immediate use without the need for cleaning or degreasing.

This film is a game-changer for industries dealing with sensitive electronics, such as automotive, telecommunications, aerospace, and general manufacturing, where protecting components from both corrosion and static discharge is paramount.

Yes, Eco-Corr Film ESD is specifically formulated for the protection of sensitive electronic components, including PCBs, as its VpCI technology doesn't interfere with their physical or chemical properties, nor does it affect solderability.

Eco-Corr Film ESD replaces conventional rust preventatives like messy oils and desiccants, offering a cleaner and more efficient solution. Unlike traditional methods, it eliminates the need for labor-intensive clean-up, and your product can be used immediately upon removal from the packaging.

While the product description specifies standard rolls and custom bags, for very large or complex machinery, it's generally best to consult Valdamark Direct or Cortec directly to ensure the appropriate film configuration and sealing methods are used for optimal protection.

Yes, Eco-Corr Film ESD is designed to perform effectively in aggressive atmospheric environments, including those with high humidity or fluctuating temperatures, providing continuous protection against condensation and moisture.

The anti-static properties within Eco-Corr Film ESD are permanent, meaning they consistently reduce or eliminate static buildup regardless of the ambient humidity levels. This ensures reliable ESD protection in diverse environmental conditions.

Absolutely. Metal parts packaged in Eco-Corr Film ESD receive continuous protection against various corrosive elements, virtually eliminating rust claims during storage and both domestic and international shipments of spare parts.

Eco-Corr Film ESD is available in standard length rolls (e.g., 36” and 48”) and can also be supplied in a wide variety of custom sizes and forms, including single wound sheeting, double wound sheeting, U-sheets, M-sheets, center folds, gusset tubes, and converted bags.

Yes, it meets several important standards, including ASTM D6400-99 for biodegradability, MIL-PRF-81705D for static dissipative properties (static decay rate and surface resistivity), NACE TM0208-2008 for corrosion protection, and the German TL-8135-002 standard for corrosion protection.

Eco-Corr Film ESD actually provides better tensile strength, tear strength, and ultimate elongation compared to conventional low-density polyethylene films, offering enhanced durability during handling and transit.

Yes, the film is designed to be heat and water stable, meaning it will not disintegrate or break apart prematurely while it is in use, maintaining its protective integrity until it's ready for disposal.

Yes, Eco-Corr Film ESD is heat-sealable, allowing for the creation of custom-sized bags and secure packaging solutions.

No, Cortec Eco-Corr Film ESD is specifically formulated not to interfere with the physical or chemical properties of electronic components, nor does it affect their conductivity or other performance aspects.

When placed in a typical commercial composting environment, Eco-Corr Film ESD films will disintegrate rapidly, typically within a few weeks, and completely within 2-3 months.

Upon biodegradation in a composting environment, Eco-Corr Film ESD transforms into carbon dioxide and water, with no eco-toxicity to the soil, plants, or microorganisms involved in the process.

While the primary certification is for commercial composting facilities, the effectiveness in a home compost setting depends on the specific conditions, such as temperature, soil quality, and microbial activity. Commercial composting provides the optimal environment for its rapid degradation.

The product itself is designed for environmental sustainability, and Cortec Corporation, the developer, is known for its commitment to green technologies and sustainable packaging solutions.

Eco-Corr Film ESD is shelf-stable and will not break down prematurely as long as it's stored correctly in its original packaging, indoors, and away from direct sunlight at recommended temperatures. It only begins to degrade when exposed to environments rich in microorganisms, like soil or compost.

Absolutely. By being 100% biodegradable and compostable, Eco-Corr Film ESD offers a sustainable alternative to traditional, non-degradable plastic packaging films, significantly contributing to the reduction of plastic waste in landfills.

You can purchase Cortec Eco-Corr Film ESD through Valdamark Direct, as indicated by the provided link. They typically offer it in standard roll lengths and can likely accommodate various quantities to suit different business needs.

To ensure the best performance and maximize the shelf life of Eco-Corr Film ESD, it should be stored in its original packaging, indoors, and out of direct sunlight, ideally within a temperature range of 4-38 °C (40-100 °F).

Valdamark Direct and Cortec can often provide custom products, including specific sizes and forms like single wound sheeting, custom bags, or gusset tubes, to meet unique packaging requirements. It's best to consult with them directly for bespoke solutions.

Yes, for detailed technical questions or specific application guidance, it is always recommended to reach out to the supplier, Valdamark Direct, or Cortec Corporation directly, as they have expert teams to provide comprehensive support.
