Cortec Oil Resistant Paper VpCI® 148 Grease Resistant Corrosion Inhibiting Paper.

The Cortec VpCI 148 is a truly innovative paper that's not just oil-resistant but also incorporates Cortec's advanced Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI). This means it creates a protective barrier against oil, grease, and even solvents, while simultaneously releasing a protective vapor that safeguards metals from rust and corrosion during storage and transit. It's a dual-action hero for your valuable items.

While its oil and grease resistance is a standout feature, the Cortec VpCI 148 offers much more. Thanks to its VpCI technology, it actively prevents corrosion on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it a comprehensive solution for protecting a wide array of metal parts, even those that aren't inherently oily but might be exposed to corrosive environments.

Unlike traditional waxed papers, which can often create their own environmental headaches, the Cortec VpCI 148 stands out with its bio-based organic coating. This thoughtful design makes it fully recyclable and repulpable, offering a much more environmentally responsible choice without compromising on superior protection against oils, greases, and solvents.

Absolutely! One of the fantastic advantages of Cortec VpCI 148 is its versatility. It's designed to protect all metals, whether they are ferrous, like steel and iron, or non-ferrous, such as copper, brass, and aluminium. This makes it a go-to solution for a diverse range of industrial applications.

Choosing Cortec VpCI 148 from Valdamark Direct means you're getting multifunctional protection that’s resistant to grease, oil, and solvents, all while offering superior corrosion inhibition for various metals. Plus, it's environmentally friendly as it doesn't create hazardous waste like some alternatives and is recyclable and repulpable. It's truly a smarter, cleaner way to protect your goods.

Cortec VpCI 148 is absolutely ideal for components that require lubrication, such as bearings. It performs exceptionally well when used as a wrapping material for such items during storage or shipment, especially in potentially challenging environmental conditions. The oil stays on the part, and the paper keeps everything else protected.

Yes, you certainly can! Cortec VpCI 148 is perfect for use as single 'mono' layer packaging or as interleaving sheets to separate products. This is incredibly useful for preventing direct contact between parts and ensuring each item receives adequate corrosion and oil protection.

To get the best protection from your Cortec VpCI 148, you'll want to place the grease resistance side of the paper facing outwards. Then, simply wrap your parts into the unprinted side, which contains the corrosion inhibitor formula. The key is to keep the paper as close to the surface of the metal item as possible, minimizing any gaps or obstructions between the paper and the metal.

We recommend using approximately one square foot of Cortec VpCI 148 paper for each three cubic feet of surface area you need to protect. If you're looking to safeguard void space, a good guideline is one square foot of paper for every half cubic foot of that void space. This ensures the VpCI molecules can effectively saturate the enclosed area.

Absolutely! Cortec VpCI 148 is perfectly suited for protecting larger, finished products, including heavy machinery, engines, tools, instruments, motors, and other devices. It provides that essential layer of protection against oil, grease, and corrosion during storage or transit.

• Cortec CorShield VpCI-368 19L Outdoor Corrosion Protection Coating
• Cortec BioCorr 19L Biodegradable Rust Preventative

Yes, it is! The robust nature of Cortec VpCI 148 makes it an excellent choice for protecting metal forging and die-casted parts. Its resistance to oils and greases, combined with its corrosion inhibiting properties, provides crucial protection for these industrially produced components.

Indeed, Cortec VpCI 148 can be effectively used as sheet liners within containers or boxes. This creates a protective environment for the items inside, shielding them from potential oil contamination and airborne corrosive elements.

To maintain the effectiveness of your Cortec VpCI 148, it's always a good idea to store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original packaging until use helps preserve its integrity and ensures the VpCI compounds remain potent.

In metalworking and fabrication, Cortec VpCI 148 is invaluable for protecting items like springs, bearings, fasteners, tubes, pipes, and nails. It ensures these components remain free from rust and oil contamination, both during interim storage and when they are packaged for delivery.

Absolutely. Cortec VpCI 148 is perfectly suited for automotive applications. It can be used to protect engines, flywheels, car bodies, brake discs, and various other steel parts, ensuring they remain in pristine condition during storage or shipment, free from rust and oil residue.

While its primary focus is oil and corrosion for metal, VpCI technology itself can protect electronic components from atmospheric corrosion. If the electronic components also involve metal parts that are exposed to oils or might suffer from corrosion, Cortec VpCI 148 could be a beneficial protective layer. For specific electronics, other VpCI products might also be considered by Valdamark Direct.

Cortec VpCI 148 is an excellent choice for packaging a wide range of tools and precision instruments. It protects them from the damaging effects of moisture, oils, and corrosion, ensuring they arrive at their destination or remain in storage in optimal working condition without messy cleanup.

Cortec VpCI 148 is designed to perform exceptionally well even in potentially hazardous conditions. While VpCI technology provides a robust barrier, ensuring the package is as sealed as possible will always enhance the protective capabilities, especially in high-humidity environments.

No, it's specifically formulated to be free from harmful substances. Cortec VpCI 148 does not contain nitrites, phosphates, silicones, chromates, or heavy metals, making it a safer choice for both users and the environment.

Definitely! Beyond being free of harmful chemicals, Cortec VpCI 148 features a bio-based organic coating, making it fully recyclable and repulpable. This significantly reduces its environmental footprint compared to traditional wax-coated papers that are often difficult to dispose of responsibly.

The "3M kit rating = 9" indicates a very high level of grease and oil resistance. This rating is a standard test that assesses how well a material resists penetration by various substances. A rating of 9 signifies excellent performance in repelling oils and greases, which is a key attribute of Cortec VpCI 148.

The beauty of Cortec VpCI 148 is that it doesn't absorb oil or grease into the paper itself. Instead, the oil or grease remains captive on the surface of the metal part. This design ensures that the paper acts as a barrier, preventing external contamination while the VpCI goes to work protecting the metal.
