Cortec, a leader in environmentally friendly VpCI corrosion protection, is offering Nitrite-free CorShield VCI/VpCI-146 paper that complies with various international, federal and state regulatory requirements.

This high technology Vapour phase Corrosion Inhibiting paper is based on patented technology that has revolutionised the way metals are protected in an enclosed package, said a statement.

The paper will provide superior corrosion protection for both ferrous and non- ferrous metals.

Additionally VpCI 146 is also economical and will eliminate the need for a variety of papers for all different types of metals and alloys.

The FDA approved paper is fully recyclable/repulpable and can be recycled into other types of paper products such as boxes, cardboard, and other corrugated materials. The paper does not contain any nitrites, phosphates, silicones, chromates, or other heavy metals, it said.

It is made from the highest quality neutral natural kraft paper without the use of chlorine or other chemical bleaching. This eliminates package contamination found with other VCI/VPI papers. No calculating of chemical concentrations or maintaining the application system was needed.

The inhibiting action forms a very thin and effective protective layer that does not alter the appearance of products or require removal before further finishing or use.

The parts protected with VpCI-146 can be painted, welded, and soldered. The paper's protective layer does not influence physical properties of most sensitive electrical components, including conductivity and resistance, said the statement.

The VpCI-146 paper can be used to protect products for storage and shipment in a wide variety of ways: single item packaging or interleaving, end closures for shipping tubes, insert strips for recessed areas in large packages, and as sheet liners or separators between products.

It will protect dry or oiled metals and is very effective against aggressive environments including humidity, SO2, H2S, and galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals. - TradeArabia News Service
