ST. PAUL, MN | VpCI-132 Impregnated Foam Pad is a unique, flexible packaging material that combines VpCI corrosion protection, cushioning, and desiccant action, plus excellent antistatic capabilities—all in one step, enabling customers to eliminate expensive and messy rust preventatives. VpCI-132 is intended for export packaging of machinery, equipment, and components. It is completely safe for the environment and does not contain harmful toxic compounds like nitrites and chromates.
Parts protected with Cortec VpCI-132 Foam Pad reportedly are always ready for use; no degreasing or coating removal is required and more importantly application of this multifunctional foam results in significant weight, labor, and cost savings.
VpCI-132 provides continuous multi-metal protection to ferrous, non-ferrous metals, and alloys such as: steel, copper, brass, aluminum, zinc, solder, and silver; protecting against humidity, condensation, galvanic corrosion, and residual impurities. It performs excellently even under aggressive conditions found in marine environments and extended storage in non-air conditioned warehouses.
VpCI -132 Foam Pad contains 10 times more VpCI chemical per square meter of substrate than other wrapping materials, as well as a unique combination of high and low vapor pressure VpCI; which makes it excellent for long-term protection of large surfaces like big export packages, crates, and seagoing containers. The foam pads are super effective for protection of electronic equipment and will not change physical or chemical properties of electronic components.
The company reports this product quickly became a global bestseller and is selected by world leading companies such as Motorola Inc., Nortel Networks, and many more. U.S. Air Force's problems with a backup generator that was rusting severely due to an extremely salty environment were solved after VpCI-132 foam was inserted into the generator cabinet.
VpCI-132 Foam conforms to NACE Standard TM0-2008 and RP0487-2000, MIL-I-22100C, MIL-PRF-817057 for static dissipative foams and is RoHS compliant.
