Cortec Desicorr® VpCI Desiccant Pouch (NW) High Performance VpCI Packaging

Desicorr® VpCI® Desiccant Pouches are a high performance, dual action product that uniquely combines a superior desiccant formula with the patented VpCI Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitor technology.

Desicorr® Desiccant Pouch Bags are a high performance dual action VpCI® Packaging product.

Desicorr Desiccant Pouch Bags contain a unique combination of moisture absorbing desiccant as well as Cortec corporations patented VPCI vapour phase corrosion inhibitors for protecting all kinds of metals (both ferrous and non-ferrous) from rust and corrosion for up to 2 years.

Unlike traditional legacy desiccants the dual function of Desicorr pouch bags reduces moisture in the air (the desiccants mechanism of action) with the enhanced protection of VpCI to protect various metals from rust and corrosion damage within a packaging enclosure. This desiccant action allows VpCI corrosion inhibitors easy access to the surface of the metal., free from the obstruction of moisture present already on the surface itself.

Desicorr® can be supplied in both windowed and non-transparent versions. The windowed version allows for the inspection of the colour indicating desiccant contained inside each pouch. The small spherical beads within each turn from yellow to green when the desiccant has been fully used.
