Cortec® CorShield® VpCI-146 is the premium corrosion inhibiting paper in the industry. Our patented Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibiting (VpCI®) Technology has revolutionized the way metals are protected in an enclosed package. CorShield® VpCI®-146 paper provides superior corrosion protection for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, eliminating the need to stock a variety of papers for all different types of metals and alloys you need to protect. It is fully recyclable/repulpable, which means CorShield® VpCI®-146 can be recycled into other types of paper products such as boxes, cardboard, and other corrugated materials. It also means that it can be “repulped” or made into or mixed with pulp to make new paper products. Additionally, CorShield® VpCI-146 does not contain any nitrites, phosphates, or silicates.

FEATURES
• Contains no nitrites, phosphates, silicones, chromates, or other heavy metals.
• Fully recyclable, repulpable.
• Commercial equivalent to MIL PRF-3420.
• Protective layer does not need to be removed prior to further surface finishing or coating application.
• Tested by Zagreb, Croatia-Department of Health, for use on food articles.

BENEFITS
• One product for all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Combines corrosion protection and packaging into one step.
• Effective protection on both sides of paper eliminates packaging guesswork.
• Protects dry or oiled metals during storage, transit, and overseas shipment.
• Effective against aggressive environments including humidity, SO2, H2S, and galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals.

APPLICATION
Cortec® CorShield® VpCI®-146 paper can be used to protect products for storage and shipment in a wide variety of ways: single item packaging or interleaving, end closures for shipping tubes, insert strips for recessed areas
in large packages, and as sheet liners or separators between products.

Other typical applications are
• Metal production: coils, wire reels, plate, bar, etc.
• Metal forging and die casting: raw and machined forgings and castings.
• Metalworking: stamping, sheet metal work, springs, bearings, fasteners, tubes, pipes, nails, etc.
• Finished products: engines, machinery, equipment, tools, hardware, appliances, instruments, motors, etc.
• Electrical and electronic components, controls, etc.

Products should be packaged as soon after cleaning as possible, after being completely dried of residual water. Keep the VpCI® paper as close to the surface of the product as practical, leaving no barrier between the VpCI® paper and the metal surface to be protected.
