Cortec’s recyclable VpCI® plastic sheeting and bags are powerful, cost effective, and simple to use. They provide Total Corrosion Control for multiple metal types and come in many sizes and formats—from small Top-Seal Reclosable zip bags that protect nuts and bolts, to 30 foot (9.1 m) wide heavy duty sheeting for storing giant industrial equipment outdoors. Available formats include:
Simply wrap, shroud, or pack your products or equipment in VCI plastic films and bags for continuous protection during work in progress, storage, transit, export packaging, machinery preservation, lay-up, or mothballing.
VCI molecules in the anticorrosive plastic films and bags vaporize and then condense on metal surfaces in the enclosed package, forming an invisible molecular protective layer against the corrosive forces of salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres, and dissimilar metal corrosion. After the metal part is taken out of the package, the VCI molecules float away, and the metal components, machinery, or products are ready for immediate use, no cleaning or degreasing required.
We provide VCI plastic films and bags that are exceptional for protection of large equipment for export shipping, stretch wrapping of steel coils, packaging of highly sensitive electronic components, shrink wrapping of new vehicles and equipment, lining containers for overseas shipments of multiple items, and packaging of small parts in zipper closure bags. VCI films and bags replace conventional rust preventatives such as oils and desiccants, allowing users to save time, hassle, and labor costs by eliminating the degreasing or coating removal required in the past. Using the right VCI plastic film will ensure your valued assets are clean, dry, corrosion free, and ready to use when they are unpacked.
Cortec® is the only manufacturer of rust preventatives in the world that is completely vertically integrated. That means that everything is made under the same roof: from the base chemistry of the inhibitors to the end product (vci films/ vci papers ) and so the quality is monitored every step of the way.
The "Razor Blade Test" is a quick laboratory test with a pass or fail rating — if corrosion exists after the set time frame, the product fails. The Razor Blade Test essentially tests the contact corrosion-inhibiting ability of a material. It is conducted on test coupons and on multiple types of metal to determine the ability of a packaging product to prevent rust by direct contact to a certain type of metal. It is done three times to test bits of sample from a large surface area so that it can also provide information on how even the distribution of the corrosion inhibitor is on the material being tested. The figure shows images of typical results for VpCI®-126 and VpCI®-146 against a control group (the control group is a plastic or paper with no corrosion prevention properties in direct contact with metal subject to this same test).
Second, Federal Standard 101c, the German VIA
Test, is used to determine if a corrosion-inhibiting
compound will protect a metal when the compound
is never in contact with the metal. For this test, the corrosion-inhibiting compound is placed in a glass
jar. A metal slug is placed in a rubber gasket
attached to the lid, so it is prevented from coming in
contact with the corrosion-inhibiting product. Also, the interior of the jar is previously saturated with moisture and the test subject is allowed time to "emit" the volatile corrosion inhibitors to the enclosed atmosphere. This
is shown in the top figure to the left of this text. The second figure shows typical results for VpCI®-146 or VpCI®-126 against a control group (the control group is a plastic or paper with no corrosion prevention properties made subject to this same test).
Once again the test is done three times out of different samples to ensure that the vapor phase rust prevention properties are evenly present through the area of the test subject.
Cor-Pak® VpCI® Anti Rust Stretch Film is
the ultimate high performance
anticorrosive plastic film, developed for
protection of ferrous and
non-ferrous metals from rust. This film
is coextruded using state of-the-art resins, offering
superior strength and stretch
characteristics as well as
multimetal corrosion inhibiting
properties that only VpCI®
Technology can deliver. CorPak® VpCI® Rust Inhibitor Stretch Film delivers
puncture resistance and load
holding, which allows a user to
down-gauge, contain aggressive
loads, and produce a better
package at reduced cost that is even suitable as export packaging.
The combination of enhanced
polythene resins with VCI Technology makes Cor-Pak®
VpCI® Stretch Film the most
advanced corrosion inhibiting
stretch film available today on
the market.
Cor-Pak® VpCI® Stretch Film is compatible with commercially available manual and
automatic stretch wrapping equipment.

Packaging sizes
Metal parts packaged in Cortec® VpCI®-126 Blue industrial packaging is a highly resistant anti rust film that can provide continuous
protection against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture,
aggressive industrial atmospheres, and dissimilar metal corrosion. The
VpCIs vaporize and then condense to metal surfaces in the enclosed
package. VCI molecules embedded in the polyethylene substrate reaches every area of your part, protecting its exterior
as well as hard-to-reach interior surfaces. You get complete product
protection during storage as well as during domestic and overseas
shipments, virtually eliminating any rust claims.
Sealing your product in Cortec® VpCI®
inhibitor films protects metal parts from all types of corrosion including rust,
tarnish, stains, white rust, and oxidation for up to 5 years (Depending on film construction thickness and application).
VpCI®-126 Blue has received approval from a leading institute
regarding the recycling and disposal of packaging materials containing
Cortec® proprietary chemistry.
VpCI®-126 Blue is heat sealable, as any polyethylene film, and can be used with all
types of manual or automated heat-seal packaging equipment. The
material is available in a variety of standard and customized forms including bags, sheeting-reinforced film, top-seal and Auto-Bags,
gusseted liners, bags-on-a-roll, perforated sheeting, coil covers,
shrink film, and tubing to protect small or large parts. Antistatic (ESD Plastic)
varieties are available as well as coextruded polyethene constructions. Opaque
formulations are also available. The 6 mil version of this indoors vci shrinkwrap is ideal for machinery packaging for export and storage .
