Cortec VpCI® 126 Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor Film Rolls

The magic lies in the vapor phase. The VpCI molecules within the film volatilize, meaning they become airborne, and then condense onto all metal surfaces inside the package. This allows them to reach every nook and cranny, creating a comprehensive protective barrier against corrosive elements, even in complex geometries where traditional methods might fail.

This versatile film offers broad-spectrum protection, effectively safeguarding against all common forms of corrosion. This includes rust, tarnishing, staining, white rust, oxidation, and even corrosion caused by marine air, excessive humidity, condensation, and aggressive industrial atmospheres.

When properly enclosed and stored, Cortec VpCI-126 film can provide exceptional corrosion protection for your metal products for up to five years, offering long-term peace of mind during storage or shipment.

Yes, absolutely! Cortec prioritizes sustainability. The VpCI-126 film is non-toxic, 100% recyclable, and notably, it's free of amines, phosphates, and halogen-based materials. Furthermore, many versions, like Cortec VpCI-126 Blue, contain at least 20% recycled content, enhancing its eco-friendly profile.

Cortec VpCI-126 film is highly versatile and suitable for protecting a wide array of metals. This includes ferrous metals like carbon steel, stainless steel, silicon steel, and cast iron, as well as non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass.
