EcoBio™ VpCI®-146 Paper First of its Kind VpCI® Paper: Certified Compostable, USDA Biobased, and Recyclable

Product Description

EcoBio™ VpCI®-146 Paper is a certified compostable corrosion inhibiting paper that relies on Cortec’s patented biodegradable Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibiting Technology. Both sides of EcoBio™ VpCI®-146 Paper offer effective corrosion protection to ferrous and non-ferrous metals, eliminating the need to stock a variety of papers for different metal types.

EcoBio™ VpCI®-146 Paper is made from recycled paper stock and contains 92% USDA certified biobased content. After use, it can either be recycled in standard recycling streams or composted in an industrial composting facility. When composted, EcoBio™ VpCI®- 146 Paper becomes humus with no eco-toxicity to the soil, making it a unique “circular economy” corrosion inhibiting packaging option.

Benefits

• One product for all ferrous and non-ferrous metals  
• Combines corrosion protection and packaging into one step  
• Effective protection by both sides of the 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

Simply wrap items in the paper and fold the edges together, taping as needed to hold paper in place. The VpCI® coating on the paper vaporizes, reaching all metal surfaces within the package to provide complete corrosion protection with a very thin, very effective VpCI® layer that does not alter product appearance or require removal before further finishing or use.
