Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly are Cortec VpCI 126 Zip Lock Bags and how do they work to protect my metal items?

Cortec VpCI 126 Zip Lock Bags are a cutting-edge packaging solution designed to prevent rust and corrosion on metal items. They work by releasing a unique Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) formula into the air within the sealed bag. These invisible VpCI molecules then settle on all exposed metal surfaces, forming a thin, protective monomolecular layer that acts as a barrier against moisture, oxygen, salt, and other corrosive elements, effectively preventing rust, tarnish, and oxidation.
