Cortec EcoStretch® is Nano VpCI® powered product. It is a cutting-edge wrap film for wrapping machine.
The product combines commercially biodegradable resins with VpCI technology to safeguard metals. EcoStretch® is ideal for metal equipment in stretch-wrapping processes. It is also great for components that requires rust-free maintenance while reducing the environmental effect of conventional plastic packaging.
This product is commercially degradable or compostable*. Thus, it may be exempt from tariffs, tip fees and fines in regions where polyethylene plastic is forbidden or limited. EcoStretch® is stable even when stored for a long period. It will maintain its integrity until properly disposed of.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging options are rolls in individual boxes and pallets in cradle pack. Thickness varies from 1.5 mil or 38.1 µm to 20” or 50.8 cm and width is 30” or 76.2 cm.
For product to stay at its best performance, store EcoStretch indoors in its original packaging. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight while storing temperature is at 40-100 °F or 4-38 °C.
