Cortec Corp. Offers Biodegradable Film with Corrosion Inhibitor

Published: October 17, 2011

ST. PAUL, MN | Eco-Corr Film from Cortec Corp. is a biobased and biodegradable film utilizing Cortec's patented VpCI (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) technology. This product reportedly provides much better tensile strength, tear resistance, and ultimate elongation than low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films.

It is certified under DIN CERTCO DIN EN 13432 (Europe) and Biodegradable Products Inst. ASTM D6400 (USA). It is heat and water stable and does not disintegrate or break apart while in use.

Eco-Corr Film is said to provide contact, barrier, and VpCI protection for up to two years. According to the company, it offers multi-metal corrosion inhibitor protection and is an improved replacement for non-degradable and nitrite-based VCI films. Once exposed to soil or compost conditions, this product is said to disintegrate rapidly and completely within weeks, without contaminating the soil. It is nitrite and amine free.
