Cortec claims its Eco-Corr bio-based and biodegradable film utilising patented VpCI technology s is the first 100% biodegradable VCI film in the world.
For packaging applications, it is said to provide much better tensile strength, tear resistance and ultimate elongation than low density polyethylene films. It is certified under DIN CERTCO DIN EN 13432 (Europe) and Biodegradable Products Institute ASTM D6400 (USA), is heat and water stable and will not disintegrate or break apart while in use, according to Cortec.
Eco-Corr provides contact, barrier and VpCI (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) protection for up to two years. It provides multimetal corrosion inhibitor protection and is said to be an improved replacement for non-degradable and nitrite-based VCI films. Once exposed to soil or compost conditions, the film will disintegrate ‘rapidly and completely within weeks’, without contaminating the soil, and is nitrite and amine-free.
