In the world of materials and corrosion prevention, new ideas are key to keeping metal parts lasting longer and working well. One of the latest breakthroughs is the Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) 126 Series film. This new technology offers a smart way to protect metals from corrosion. Let’s explore what makes the VpCI® 126 Series special and why it’s becoming a top choice in corrosion protection.

 

What is Corrosion and Why is It a Problem?

 

Corrosion happens when metals react with their environment and start to break down. This can occur because of moisture, chemicals, or even just air. For industries that depend on metal parts, like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, corrosion protection is crucial to keep equipment working properly.

 

What is VpCI® 126 Series Film?

 

The VpCI® 126 Series film is a high-quality corrosion protection film designed to protect a wide range of metal surfaces. This film is part of the VpCI® range, known for their advanced technology and effectiveness in stopping metal corrosion.

Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) 126 Series film combines the latest film technology with the most effective corrosion protection for all of your metal products. Sealing your product in Cortec® VpCI® films protects metal parts from all types of corrosion including rust, tarnish, stains, white rust, and oxidation for up to 5 years. It’s as easy as putting your product in a Cortec® VpCI® package!

Cortec® VpCI® films and bags replace conventional rust preventatives such as oils and desiccants. You save even more because VpCI® packaging eliminates the degreasing or coating removal required in the past. Now your product can be used immediately. VpCI®-126 is transparent, making it easy to identify parts. Additionally, it does not contain free amines, phosphates, or halogen-based materials, and is non-toxic and recyclable.

Cortec® VpCI®-126 Series films and bags protect metal objects as small as a needle to as large as the contents of an oceangoing container. VpCI®-126 Blue can be manufactured utilizing a wide array of the most advanced resins. Custom blends are available to give you the exact properties you need, whether it’s improved puncture resistance, tear strength, or other requirements.

What makes the VpCI® 126 Series special?

 

• Smart Inhibitor Technology The VpCI® 126 Series uses advanced vapor phase technology. This means the film not only covers the surface of metals but also releases vapor that forms a protective layer on all metal parts, even those that are hard to reach.
• Protection for Many Metals One of the best features of the VpCI® 126 Series is that it protects various types of metals, including steel, aluminum, and copper. This makes it a great choice for industries that work with different materials.
• Easy to Use The film is simple to apply. You can put it directly on metal surfaces or use it to wrap components. It’s also flexible and can fit around complex shapes and tight spaces.
• Long-Lasting Protection The VpCI® 126 Series offers long-lasting protection, so you don’t need to reapply it often. This means lower costs and better reliability for important parts.
• Eco-Friendly The VpCI® 126 Series is designed to be non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It provides effective corrosion protection without using harmful chemicals, supporting green practices.
