Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes the "Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor" technology so effective in Cortec VpCI-126 film?

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.

• What types of corrosion does Cortec VpCI-126 film specifically protect against?

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.

• How long can I expect Cortec VpCI-126 film to protect my metal components?

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.
