A Solution to Corrosion- VpCI® Emitters

The success of Cortec® VpCI® packaging lies in its Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor Technology. This technology creates a protective environment inside each VpCI® package. Application is easy, typically with little or no surface preparation needed.

Special Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors embedded in VpCI® packaging travel through the air to form an invisible protective shield on all accessible metal surfaces inside the enclosed package. This VpCI® shield does not alter metal properties. Instead, it blocks the ability of oxygen, moisture, and other corrosive elements to attack the metal surface and make it rust.

After the metal part is taken out of the package, the VpCI® molecules float away, and the metal components, machinery, or products are ready for immediate use, no cleaning or degreasing required.

With decades of experience in industries across the globe, Cortec® is ready to provide an individualized solution for your specific needs including:

  • Rust-free shipment of goods overseas
  • In-process protection of partially manufactured goods
  • Long-term preservation of expensive equipment
  • And much more!

VpCI® Emitters

VpCI® emitters provide an extra dose of Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors for small or large packages needing additional protection against corrosion during shipping or storage. By inserting one of the many different styles and sizes of VpCI® emitters into your VpCI® packaging system, users can ensure that small and large spaces are saturated with protective

corrosion inhibiting environment. For especially sensitive items that will be undergoing extremely harsh conditions, such as those on an oceangoing vessel or in an open yard, using a VpCI® emitter serves as extra security against the corrosion that threatens to degrade the value of metal goods and assets—from small freshly manufactured components to large equipment ready for lay-up.

Emitters take many different forms and are dosed based on the volume of space that they are calculated to effectively protect. Sometimes all that is needed is to insert a Cor-Pak® Tablet or 1-MUL Pouch to protect a space of 1 cubic foot (28L) or less. At other times, an EcoPouch® or Bio-Pad® roll may be needed to protect several dozen cubic feet (several cubic meters) of space. Self-stick VpCI® emitter cups are another convenient way to include long-lasting VpCI® protection, for example, in the shipment of electrical or electronic cabinets.

VpCI® emitters release Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors that travel through the air space, forming an invisible protective shield on all accessible metal surfaces inside the enclosed package. This VpCI® shield does not alter metal properties. Instead, it blocks the ability of oxygen, moisture, and other corrosive elements to attack the metal surface and make it rust. After the metal part is taken out of the package, the VpCI® molecules float away, and the metal components, machinery, or products are ready for immediate use, no cleaning or degreasing required.
