EcoDevice®, Patent Pending

Product Description

EcoDevice® is a unique biobased VpCI® emitting device constructed from 100% biobased fibers providing an ecofriendly and sustainable option for corrosion protection. These devices are designed to provide corrosion protection for small enclosures such as: tool boxes, control panels, electrical cabinets, instruments and other electronic / electrical enclosures. Each individual EcoDevice® protects up to 42 L (1.5 ft3).

EcoDevice® is powered by Nano VpCI™, the latest advancement in Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibiting (VpCI®) technology. Nano VpCI™ emit from the device and saturate the enclosure via diffusion; filling all void spaces and recessed areas with protective vapor molecules. These molecules are attracted to and adsorb onto metallic surfaces resulting in the formation of nanofilms, very thin microscopic molecular layers of corrosion protection. The nanofilms formed do not adversely affect or alter the appearance, conductivity, mechanical integrity, or optical functionality of the components protected.

Typical Applications

• Operating, packaged, and stored electrical equipment  
• Marine navigation and communication equipment  
• Aerospace electrical controls  
• Electric motors  
• Switching equipment  
• Fuse boxes and power boxes 
• Medical equipment  
• Electrical wireways and terminal boxes  
• Scientific and measuring instruments  
• Telecommunications equipment and remote electronic devices  
• Hand-held battery-operated devices  
• Tool boxes, parts storage, and other containers holding metals

Method of Application

EcoDevice® is simple and easy to install. The device should be installed as early as possible, preferably during manufacturing or assembly, to avoid the onset of corrosion. Simply select a space within any enclosure where corrosion protection would be beneficial. Verify that the surface on which the device will be installed is clean and free of debris. Peel off the release liner from the back of the device and affix it to the clean surface. For volumes greater than 42 L (1.5 ft3) use more than one device or consult a Cortec® representative for product recommendation. Each device will provide corrosion protection up to 2 years from installation; however, if the enclosure is not airtight or if the access doors are opened frequently, replace the EcoDevice® more often
