Cortec® Releases New Heat Sealable Paper with Corrosion Inhibition for Metal Parts

Cortec® has released a new metals packaging solution with an eye to sustainability and convenience. CorShield® VpCI®-146 Heat Sealable Paper combines the heat sealable properties of EcoShield® Heat Sealable Paper with the corrosion inhibiting properties of CorShield® VpCI®-146 Paper for a dual corrosion inhibiting heat sealable paper that opens the door to a wide variety of recyclable custom packaging solutions for metal parts.

CorShield® VpCI®-146 Paper is coated with Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors that vaporize and diffuse off the paper over time. When VCI/VpCI® paper is wrapped around metal parts, folded, and taped shut, the corrosion inhibiting vapors are trapped inside the package. These corrosion inhibitors are attracted to metal surfaces, where they adsorb as a molecular protective layer against corrosion. Common uses for VCI/VpCI® paper include packaging of bearings, brakes, and automotive aftermarket parts. Because the protective molecular layer simply floats away after the component is taken out of the package, there is no need for special cleaning or degreasing as is often the case when using traditional greasy and oily rust preventatives. This creates a huge advantage for end users who can immediately use or install the part.
