Our knowledge bank is full of useful information and is updated as new information and knowledge is developed. Here you can deepen your knowledge of corrosion protection, silicone, adhesives and lubricants.
What is VCI paper?
VCI paper is an innovative packaging material that effectively protects metals from corrosion during transport and storage. The paper is treated with VCI technology (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors)
What is VCI Plast and how does it protect your metal products?
VCI plastics are an innovative solution to protect metal products against corrosion during transport and storage. This type of plastic is impregnated with VCIs (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors), which are substances that evaporate and form a protective atmosphere around the metal. This atmosphere effectively prevents moisture and other corrosive substances from reaching the metal surface, minimising the risk of rust formation. Cortec VCI Plasters are supplied as, among others:
Remove rust on metal
Of course, you're primarily trying to prevent and protect iron components from rust and oxidation, but sooner or later you'll need to remove rust from metal that has been exposed to the elements or moisture in some other form. At Tribotec you will find several different products for removing surface rust and oxidation from iron. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are unsure which one is best for you!
Rust remover
Previous time-consuming and sometimes even harmful methods, such as greasing or oiling components, are a thing of the past. Tribotec's VCI technology benefits both the working environment and nature, while saving you a lot of time. Rust removers have never been easier or faster to handle.
Anti-corrosion treatment
Rust occurs when metal comes into contact with oxygen, i.e. when the metal oxidises. The metal then weakens and turns a reddish-brown colour. If you apply anti-rust treatment in time, you reduce the risk of expensive and time-consuming rust repairs in the future.
Counteracting rust
Iron, oxygen and water are the combination needed for corrosion to form. Steel is used in many industries where safety is paramount. In these industries, corrosion protection should be a priority.
Silicone for heat dissipation
Many types of electronics generate heat that must be dissipated to prevent failure. LED luminaires, microchip processors, and components around a car engine, for example, must withstand high temperatures. Therefore, materials based on silicone are the best choice. It has very low surface tension, which maximises the contact area with the hot part.
