Fabrene
has recently introduced an innovative solution to corrosion
problems with
their Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor Woven Fabric (VCI).Patent
5,863,642. The woven polyolefin fabric is used where extra
strength and tear resistance is required in a package wrap.
This new and innovative fabric/film made of HDPE and LDPE provides
vapor corrosion protection to a wide variety of products.
This recyclable material is recommended for packaging of rolled,
flat, coiled and tubular steel, large machinery/equipment,
parts and/or material that are expected to be transported or
stored in an unprotected environment. The fabric can be opaque
or made transparent so that the product inside can be identified
and inspected without opening the package. The product can
also be custom printed to display company logos, warnings,
and instruction. For applications where it is not desired for
the fabric to be transparent an opaque coating finish can be
provided.
Convenience The fabric can be heat sealed and can be delivered in
roll formation, as sheets, or as tubes. It is available in
widths of up to 144 inches (3600mm).
Versatility
Application of Multi-Metal Vapor
Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI)
Metal parts packaged in the woven product receive continuous
protection against salt environments, excessive humidity,
condensation, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres and
dissimilar metal corrosion. The VCIs vaporize and then
condense on all metal surfaces in the enclosed package (as
opposed to contact inhibitors such as sodium nitrite). You
get complete protection during storage as well as domestic
and overseas shipments, virtually eliminating any rust claims.
This product eliminates the need for oiling or greasing prior
to shipment or storage.
Metals protected included: Carbon steel, stainless steels, copper, brass,
aluminum, silver, galvanized steel, and silicone steel.
