Cortec enables simplified corrosion protection with CorShield VpCI-146 Paper

Double-sided anticorrosion paper

CorShield VpCI-146 Paper from Cortec Corporation, a global manufacturer of corrosion solutions, is a double-sided anticorrosion solution that can support end-user sustainability and automation goals and enable simple, effective corrosion protection

CorShield VpCI-146 Paper can be used to wrap individual gears and bearings or interleave entire pallets of parts. It emits Vapour phase Corrosion Inhibitors from both sides of the paper, forming a protective molecular layer on metal parts inside the package as long as it remains closed. When the parts are removed, the corrosion inhibitors float away, eliminating the need for additional degreasing. This simplicity is coupled with sustainability, as CorShield VpCI-146 Paper is a USDA Certified Biobased Product that can be recycled into new paper products after use.

One manufacturer, which has used CorShield VpCI-146 Paper to sandwich brake rotor layers, found that it was also compatible with the automation of its packaging process in 2020. Under the new method, a machine would unroll the paper and cut it to size before a robot would place the paper between each layer of rotors as it filled the pallet. The package was ready to ship after a final automated wrapping with Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film.

Wrapping a part in CorShield VpCI-146 Paper and taping it shut can provide protection during short end-to-end shipments or storage in a box in a dry warehouse, as well as enhancing protection inside VpCI-126 Bags. Workers can wrap individual parts in CorShield VpCI-146 Paper before placing them in a VpCI-126 Bag, adding Vapour phase Corrosion Inhibitors, cushioning, and slight moisture absorption for sensitive components that are inadvertently packaged too hot off the line.
