Cortec VCI Paper Rolls EcoShield® VpCI® 144 91.4cm x 182.9mtr & 121.9cm x 182.9mtr Rolls

EcoShield® VpCI® 144 are premium, recyclable & replicable VCI paper rolls.

This construction utilises a sophisticated water-based barrier coating that demonstrates excellent resistance to the usual contaminants like oil and grease.

The raw material used in this VCI paper contains 69% USDA certified bio-based content. This product is also recognised by federal purchasing initiatives under the USDA Bio Preferred program.

Traditionally, Polyethylene and wax coatings have been used to create legacy wax VCI paper products. Specifically, these coatings have been used on porous paper to ‘seal’ the moisture vapour barrier that results from this approach.

However, when coated this way the product becomes environmentally hazardous and cannot be recycled through the normal recycling channels.

EcoShield® VPCI 144 is a competitive environmentally friendly alternative to traditional VCI paper rolls that contain wax, polyethylene, and other substrates.

VPCI 144 also shows comparable moisture vapour properties to these products too, whilst remaining fully recyclable & repulpable being able to be converted into a variety of other paper products including cardboard boxes and other corrugated materials.

Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitors (or VPCI) can be considered superior to traditional VCI Corrosion Inhibitors. The VPCI mechanism of action is such that it evaporates from the

Applications for EcoShield® VPCI 144

Designed as an alternative to traditional VCI Paper Rolls, VPCI 144 can be used to protect valuable assets during transportation and storage throughout the supply chain. This can be used in a variety of environment – end closures in shipping tubes, sheet liners, large packages and recessed areas are all common uses –

• Metal production & fabrication: Coils, wire reels, plates, bars etc
• Metal forging & die casting
• Sheet Metal, raw & machine forged metal castings
• General metal work. Springs, bearings. Fasteners, tubes, pipes, jewellery, and silver ware.
• Finished metal products. Engines, machinery, equipment, tools, hardware, instrumentation, and motors
• Suitable for use with electronic components, controls, and printed circuit boards

What metals does VPCI 144 protect?

• Carbon Steel
• Cast Iron
• Aluminium Alloy
• Copper
• Brass
• Solder
• Galvanised Steel
• Stainless Steel

How to apply VCPI 144?

It is important to package products as soon as possible after cleaning. Ensure the 144 paper is as close to the surface of the product as much as is practical.

Leave no barrier or obstruction between the VPCI 144 and the metal surface that is to be protected.

The standard construction of EcoShield® VPCI 144 contains a natural & neutral paper substrate that is coated on one sider with a moisture vapour barrier coating.

The opposite side of the paper is impregnated with VPCI® formula.
