Frequently Asked Questions
• What exactly makes Cortec MilCorr FR VpCI Shrink Film special for protecting metals?
This film isn't just a physical barrier; it actively protects metals with its unique Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI) technology. These VpCIs vaporize and create a protective molecular layer on all metal surfaces within the enclosed space, even reaching tricky void areas and recessed spots, continuously shielding against rust and other forms of corrosion.
• How does this film offer protection against corrosion in all those hard-to-reach places?
The magic lies in the VpCI technology. The corrosion inhibitors embedded in the film actually vaporize and then condense on all metal surfaces inside the sealed package. This means they get into every nook and cranny, protecting even the most inaccessible areas, unlike traditional rust preventatives that only protect where they're directly applied.
• Does MilCorr FR VpCI Shrink Film protect against different types of metal corrosion, or just one specific kind?
It's designed for multi-metal protection. This film offers comprehensive corrosion inhibition for various metals, including steel, iron, brass, copper, solder, aluminum, silver, and nickel, making it incredibly versatile for diverse applications.
• Can this shrink film really replace those messy oils and desiccants we usually use for rust prevention?
Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of MilCorr FR VpCI Shrink Film is that it can completely replace conventional rust preventatives like oils and desiccants, simplifying your preservation process and eliminating the need for messy application and clean-up.
• What's the big deal about not needing to clean or degrease parts after they've been protected by this film?
It's a huge time and money saver! Because the VpCI technology doesn't leave any residue, parts protected with MilCorr FR VpCI Shrink Film are ready for immediate use once unpacked, eliminating the need for time-consuming and costly cleaning or degreasing steps.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
