Cortec Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor technology

Cortec’s Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) products help protect structures and metal equipment from rust and corrosion in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

Alkaline, acidic or oxidising environments are prevalent where high volumes of cleaning water and a wide pH range of food substances are handled. Corrosion not only raises the risk of equipment failure and production problems, but also threatens to contaminate the materials being processed.

The technology offers a green alternative to hazardous, oil-derived corrosion preventatives. The eco-friendly, compostable and biodegradable solutions, made from sustainable materials, provides time and labour savings. The multifunctional products are easily formulated; require little to no surface preparation; protect multimetals; disperse in water, oils and solvents; and do not interfere with operations of mechanical components.

The range, which includes NSF certified and USDA certified biobased products, includes simple biodegradable film as well as VpCI packaging materials, rust removers, lubricants and other structural and equipment applications.

Among the products are EcoAir and EcoSpray products, which eliminate the use of aerosols as spray can propellants.
