Cortec MCI® Construction Film

Product Description

MCI® Construction Film is a blue colored polyethylene film designed for use in the construction industry. Unlike conventional plastic films used for interleaving, vapor barriers, etc., MCI® Film contains technology to inhibit corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In areas where conventional films are used, metal parts that come in contact with the film are susceptible to corrosion. The technology incorporated into MCI® Film inhibits corrosion on metal parts and structures it is used with.

Packaging & Storage

MCI ® Construction Film is available in an 4 mil gauge ranging in widths from 3” to 32’ (7.6 cm-9.75m). Contact Cortec® for minimum quantities and specific sizes . Stock size is 20’x100’ (6.1m-30.5m) Shelf life is 2 years.

How it works

MCI® Construction Film is an excellent replacement for conventional polyethelene sheeting used in the construction industry. It does not contain free amines, phosphates, or halogens. MCI® Construction Film is also non-toxic and 100% recyclable.

Not only does MCI® Construction Film inhibit corrosion on metallic surfaces that it is in contact with, it also protects other metal parts via vapor phase inhibitors. These inhibitors migrate through the air to reach and protect metal surfaces that are not in direct contact with MCI® Construction Film. When MCI® Construction Film is used between concrete and metal studs it not only stops the corrosion that can occur at the contact points, it also protects the rest of the stud, adding to the life of the structure.
