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.
Description
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
EcoPouch® is easy to use: there are no chemical concentrations to calculate and no need for special equipment for application; just determine the number of pouches required per unit space. EcoPouch® provides a clean method for corrosion protection. EcoPouch® is available as individually cut pouches, and each pouch protects up to 35ft3. Custom sizes and constructions are also available.
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
TOXICOLOGICAL TESTING RESULTS OF VpCI®-609
(Performed by Nortech A.S. Norway)*
• Biodegradability: 100% biodegradable in marine environment, rapidly degradable substance (OECD** 306, BOD 28 Marine test)
• Toxicity: Very low (Algae test EC-50=240 mg/L)
• Bioaccumulation potential: none (OECD Guideline 117)
*Testing performed in accordance with Oslo-Paris commission protocol
**Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Developmen
TYPICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance White with green printing
Dimensions Each pouch is 6” W x 10” L x 0.5” H
(15.3cm x 25.4cm x 1.3cm)
METALS PROTECTED
• Carbon steel
• Mild steel
• Stainless steel
• Other ferrous metals
• Aluminum
METHOD OF APPLICATION
Determine the number of pouches required based upon the volume of space needing protection. Each pouch protects up to 1m³ (35 ft³). Evenly distribute pouches throughout the space and close or seal. Custom sizes and constructions also available. Please contact a DEYAP Representative for more information.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not use on copper, copper-based alloys, and other soft yellow metals. Compatibility with non-metallics should be evaluated.
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
