Perfect for electronics: Cortec bags offer dual corrosion and static protection
E
lectronics packaging serves a vast market with a critical need; safely bringing innumerable electronic components on their journey from the manufacturer to the electronics assembly plant or end user. Two of the most serious concerns are electrostatic damage and corrosion. The first can occur simply when putting a component into a standard plastic bag or moving it across the production floor. The other can result as electronics travel through fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels on the way to the assembly plant or end user, leading to condensation and corrosion inside the package. Cortec’s EcoSonic VpCI-125 Static Dissipative Film & Bags tackle both challenges at
once.EcoSonic VpCI-125 Static Dissipative Film & Bags contain Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors that vaporize and form a protective molecular layer on metal substrates inside the film or bag. This invisible protective layer does not interfere
with the physical or chemical properties of electronic components.
Metals protected include steel, copper alloys, aluminium alloys, brass, solder, nickel. EcoSonic VpCI-125 Static Dissipative Film & Bags combine this effective multi- metal corrosion protection with strong static dissipative properties to prevent ESD damage that could cause premature component failure. EcoSonic VpCI-125 conforms to the surface resistivity and static decay requirements of MIL-PRF-81705 D (Static Dissipative Packaging Materials). Because of this dual corrosion and ESD protection, EcoSonic VpCI-125 Static Dissipative Film & Bags are recommended for packaging items, such as integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, PCB components, telecommunications equipment, and other electronics. EcoSonic VpCI-125 does not affect optical properties or plastics used in the electronics industry and does not affect solderability of
PCBs or parts (IPC-J-STD-003C).
Electronics manufacturers know that even the slightest discoloration can sometimes be enough to warrant component rejection because of concern for potential failure down the road. By protecting against the two critical aspects of corrosion and static damage, electronics manufacturers can ship their components with greater peace of mind that their goods will arrive safely at their destination and stand up to the scrutiny and quality demands of their customers.

Predictive maintenance to enhance print quality and provide savings
E
volux is the innovative eco-friendly concept for laser cleaning of anilox rollers, designed to be integrated into the printing process. A cutting-edge system developed to become an integral part of a company’s production cycle. Designed and engineered by ULMEX, Evolux is one of the first integrated cleaning and inspection solutions capable of cleaning the entire anilox system efficiently and effectively, using automated predictive maintenance software that enhances print quality while reducing costs and providing substantial benefits and savings. This new laser cleaning concept has enjoyed great success from the very first product demonstrations, as well as in the first installations across Europe. Printers that have already integrated Evolux into their production process are appreciating tangible and measurable results. They particularly value the effective restoration of the entire
in the food packaging sector that are adopting green practices and using sustainable technology and materials. This new concept stands out from traditional laser machines currently in use thanks to a number of new features that make the system unique in its approach to cleaning, where the cleaning process becomes a way of achieving higher levels of quality and economy in the operation of anilox rollers.
available volume of anilox cells after the cleaning process which, within certain limits defined by the machine’s software, results in improved print quality that lasts over time, without having to undertake costly restoration work earlier than needed. Evolux addresses key environmental sustainability requirements as it avoids the use of chemical solvents, detergents, bicarbonate or other pollutants; this is particularly important for printers operating
At the heart of the Evolux technology is the exclusive pulsed-fibre laser source which, unlike other types of laser, makes it possible to calibrate the power, frequency and characteristics of the pulse, to enable customised cleaning programmes. More than simply removing inks, it can also eliminate more stubborn residues like paint, adhesives and silicone, whether solvent, water or UV-based.
