EcoPouch®

Product Description

EcoPouch® contains VpCI-609 powder for corrosion protection of ferrous metals and aluminum. The pouches are constructed from breathable Tyvek®, which allows the VpCI molecules to be emitted through the membrane and form a molecular layer on metal surfaces providing corrosion protection. EcoPouch® is easy to use: there are no chemical concentrations to calculate, no need for special equipment for application, just determine the number of pouches required per unit space. EcoPouches® are also non-dusting providing a clean method for corrosion protection.

Packaging and Storage

EcoPouches® are available as 50 units per carton. Do not store in conditions above 150°F (65°C). Close cartons between uses. The shelf life of unopened cartons of EcoPouches® is up to 24 months.

Features

• Creates inhibiting layer on metal surface  
• Provides continuous long term protection for various applications  
• Does not contain nitrites, phosphates, or heavy metals

Advantages

• Vapor-phase inhibiting action protects inaccessible and recessed surfaces  
• Protected products can be shipped directly to customers; no need to remove protective VpCI® film after arrival, just remove pouch  
• If the VpCI® layer is disturbed by moisture or the opening of an enclosed space, the layer is replenished by continuous vapor redeposition  
• Little or no surface preparation is required  
• Prevents future corrosion of precoated and painted surfaces  
• Clean and easy to use

Typical Uses

• Tubular structures, pipes, and vessels  
• Internal surfaces of compressors, turbines, engines, tanks, boilers, heat exchangers  
• Steam condensate lines, closed circuit heating, and cooling systems  
• Corrosion protection of equipment after hydrostatic testing 
• Parts, components, and completed assemblies during shipping and storage • Voids, cavities, and tanks 
• Double bottom storage tank floors

Metals Protected

• Carbon steel  
• Mild steel  
• Stainless steel  
• Other ferrous metals  
• Aluminum

Precautions

Do not use on copper, copper-based alloys, and other soft yellow metals. Compatibility with non-metallics should be evaluated.
