VpCI

VpCI (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) is Cortec’s core patented technology — a chemistry that vaporizes inside an enclosed space and forms an invisible protective layer on bare metal, stopping rust before it starts. This category is the full VpCI product family, from small emitters to roll stock packaging for high-volume shippers.

Which VpCI Product Do I Need?

It comes down to how the part is stored or shipped: loose in a box (use an emitter or Cor-Pak), individually wrapped (VpCI-126 film or bags), stacked flat (VpCI-146 paper interleave), or palletized for export (gussetted bags or shrink film).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does VpCI protection last?
It depends on the product and how well the package stays sealed, but VpCI papers, films, and bags are rated for extended storage and export shipments, typically many months to a few years when kept sealed.

Does VpCI leave a residue on parts?
No — the molecular layer VpCI forms is invisible and does not need to be removed before the part goes into service, though it can be wiped or degreased off if required by a downstream process.

Can I use VpCI packaging alongside my parts washer or solvent recycler?
Yes — many shops running a solvent recycler or parts washer use VpCI packaging as the last step before parts are boxed or shipped, closing the gap between clean and rust-free.
