The Future of Corrosion Protection Packaging is Circular
EcoCortec presents its green sustainable anti-corrosion packaging Solutions
I
n today’s world where environmental awareness is
more important than ever, manufacturers are adapting and embracing sustainable practices for the benefit of consumers and our planet. A huge shift has been made from the linear to the circular economy and EcoCortec has been one of the first packaging manufacturers to promote new green packaging technologies. Packaging products that are
designed to be used once and discarded are causing enormous amounts of waste material and pollution. Landfills have reached their capacity and micro-plastics are polluting almost every area of our planet. The change is needed more than ever and EcoCortec’s team of scientists and engineers have been working on designing and manufacturing environmentally friendly packaging solutions for over the last 15 years. The plant’s circular packaging solutions incorporate all the principles of the circular economy, in fact the company has been one of the first in Europe to implement a European-wide initiative to collect and recycle used VpCI films and bags. Within the “Plastic Recycling Project,” EcoCortec’s customers send their waste material back to the Croatian plant, where it is then completely recycled and used for manufacturing a new product. EcoCortec reprocesses VpCI
film scrap and incorporates the “repro” back into the virgin film at up to 20 percent, a level at which Cortec can ensure quality of the new product. EcoCortec has expanded its film reprocessing program to allow customers to send their used VpCI film back to the plant, creating a win-win-win situation
for customers, the manufacturer and the environment. Instead of paying thousands of Euros for disposal, customers can send their used VpCI bags and films to Croatian plant. Both customer and manufacturer demonstrate environmental responsibility and reduce their carbon footprint in the process.
Environmentally friendly corrosion protection packaging One of various recyclable films that is aimed at packaging of sensitive components is EcoSonic VpCI-125. These static dissipative film and bags are designed to prevent corrosion and ESD damage. The film combines the most effective multi-metal corrosion protection with strong static dissipative properties. They protect components from electrostatic discharge and conform to the surface resistivity and static decay requirements of MILPRF- 81705 D (Static Dissipative Packaging Materials). EcoSonic VpCI-125 will not affect optical properties nor plastics used in the electronics industry. The film does not contain any harmful Prop 65 ingredients and has been tested and is effective in giving corrosion protection for up to 3 years and 2 years for ESD protection. The film is also available in the
EcoSonic VpCI-125 HP permanent version. These permanent ESD films and bags are high-performance, anti- static while they protect from corrosion static sensitive multi- metal items. Anti-static properties immediately reduce or eliminate static buildup as long as the films or bags are in use, independent of the presence of humidity.

Stretch hoods are among the
fastest growing packaging techniques for shipment of palletised goods. EcoCortec recently rolled out new Cor-Pak Stretch Hoods powered by Nano VpCI, offering specifically designed plastomer material solutions for stretch hood packaging. Cor-Pak Stretch Hoods are the ultimate high- performance stretch hood films for corrosion protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The film is suitable for industrial
use to stabilize loads and ensure pallet integrity for efficient packaging and delivery. It is co- extruded using state of-the-art resins, offering superior strength and stretch characteristics as well as multi-metal corrosion inhibiting properties that only VpCI technology can deliver. Cor-Pak Stretch Hood Film powered by Nano VpCI delivers puncture resistance and load holding, which allows a user to down-gauge, contain aggressive loads and produce a better package at reduced cost. The combination of enhanced
polyethylene resins with VpCI Technology makes Cor-Pak
Stretch Hoods one of the most advanced corrosion inhibiting stretch film available today. The film can easily be recycled
and is compatible with commercially available manual and automatic stretch wrapping equipment. Cor-Pak Stretch Hoods meet German TL-8135-002 and NACE TM0208-2018 standards for corrosion protection. They keep dust, dirt, and moisture off warehouse stock, satabilize pallet loads and enhance packaging integrity. They can be used in the fast-
growing market for stretch hood film packaging techniques and allow industries to quickly and securely wrap and contain heavy loads while protecting metals. Cor-Pak Stretch Hoods can be used for countless possible packaging applications such as appliances, automotive components, computers, construction materials, electrical/electronic cabinets, petrochemical drums foundries, industrial equipment, any metal items placed on pallets.
