A heavy duty film that inhibits corrosion on multiple metal types through contact-, barrier-, and vapor-phase protection. The film has high ultraviolet (UV) light protection to maintain the integrity of the film itself as well as the parts packaged within. It is effective in severe outdoor climates and can be shrink-wrapped for a custom fit. Recyclable.
Description
MilCorr® VpCI® Shrink Film can replace conventional rust preventatives such as oils and desiccants. Parts protected with MilCorr® are ready to use with no additional cleaning and/or degreasing necessary, saving you time and money.
Metal parts packaged in MilCorr® receive continuous protection against salt air and humid environments, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres, and dissimilar metal corrosion. The corrosion inhibitors vaporize and condense on all metal surfaces within the enclosed space, and diffuse to every area of your part; protecting its exterior as well as void spaces and
recessed areas. You get complete product storage protection as well as during domestic and overseas shipments, virtually eliminating any rust claims. MilCorr® VpCI® Shrink Film, in conjunction with other Cortec® products, provides a total turnkey preservation for long term outdoor storage
