The application shows a test done at a camshaft subcontractor, who performed an accelerated corrosion test of camshafts with different packaging options. The customer requested a corrosion protection method that was easy to apply and allowed for visual inspection of the protected parts.
The parts were packed in a plastic bag with a piece of BioPad. The reference sample was packed in a plastic bag only. All packages were subjected to ASTM D-1748 Climate Chamber Test (50 gr C, 99% rel humidity) for 8 days.
Rustproofing camshafts - not the only thing BioPad can do.
BioPad is a unique flexible corrosion protection product made from Cortec of bio-based non-woven material. BioPad provides an environmentally sustainable packaging method to protect camshafts and other automotive components from corrosion and has been recognised as USDA BioPreffered (www.biopreffered.gov)
BioPad is impregnated with VpCI vapour phase corrosion inhibitors and provides up to twice the corrosion protection compared to conventional VCI foam products. The high concentration combined with its thin construction (up to 94% less material than conventional foams) makes BioPad a very competitive alternative.
BioPad is cost-effective, easy to process and easy to apply in different product flows.
Our rust protection is environmentally friendly
Items that need to be packed, shipped or stored are all too often exposed to rust. With Tribotec's intelligent vci rust protection, you get complete rust protection with environmentally friendly VpCI technology. Our corrosion protection solutions are based solely on environmentally friendly products. In combination with the fact that solvents do not need to be used for decontamination, the corrosion protection is the most user-friendly on the market. The rust protection itself is largely recyclable.
We have solutions for you whether you need temporary protection in factories, longer-term protection for shipping and storage, or long-term protection for stored parts in varying environments and weather conditions.
You are welcome to contact us in corrosion protection group for more information.
