Advanced Anti-Corrosion Packaging Film Now 100% Degradable
The world's most advanced and widely utilized packaging films (83 countries), Cortec® VpCI®-126 Blue is now available in a 100% Degradable version. Conventional Packaging PE film can take centuries to degrade if ever. In contrast, when 126 BIO film comes into contact with organic materials during disposal, its microbial activators start the process of degrading the film into basic organic elements such as water and carbon dioxide. VpCI® 126 BIO degrades in less than five (5) years, is recyclable, and meets MIL-B-22019-C and MIL-B-22020-C.
The new VpCI®-126 BIO version is very competitively priced to allow companies using older technology films to easily upgrade to safer and more effective packaging. Compared to conventional anti-corrosion packaging films, the new BIO version is 25% stronger in tear and puncture resistance, elongation, and tensile strength. Using high technology film blends, it provides more effective protection than vacuum pack with desiccant.
The Patented Cortec® VpCI®-126 BIO Film employs the most advanced technology available for anti-corrosion packaging. Unlike older films that use hazardous and toxic chemistry, 126 BIO is non-toxic, FDA approved, and does not contain nitrite-based inhibitors. With Cortec® Green Technology, metal products receive clean protection. 126 BIO eliminates the costs of rust-preventative fluids, coatings, grease and the labor used in traditional methods of rust protection. The film provides effective corrosion protection for both ferrous and nonferrous metals during interim processing, shipment, and long term storage.
Protection is easy. Simply package the part with 126 BIO and parts will remain corrosion-free for up to five (5) years. No special techniques or proprietary equipment are required. Normal manual and existing automated equipment can be used for packaging. The translucent BIO film allows visual inspection of
parts without opening the package. Because parts receive clean protection, they are ready for immediate use. Simply open the package and install the part. No cleaning or degreasing is required, again saving chemical and labor costs.
Cortec® VpCI®-126 BIO Film provides multi-metal protection against humidity, corrosive gases and atmospheres that easily penetrate traditional packaging methods. It also protects against salt, condensation and moisture. It's advanced Cortec® VpCI® technology prevents all types of corrosion including rust, tarnish, staining, white rust and oxidation.
