Increasing market share makes Tribotec's supplier on corrosion protection, Cortec Corporation, has now invested a further $750,000 in equipment and processes to meet customer needs and requests. In particular, the investment is driven by customer demand for larger paper sizes. The Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA facility can now coat, print and convert from 2.5 metre wide, 1.8 metre diameter rolls at a speed of 500 metres per minute.
Cortec VCI anti-corrosion paper (VpCI) provides corrosion protection in various applications including single piece packaging, multi-piece packaging of bulk shipments, OEM, packaging of automotive components for storage as well as shims for separating products.
Tribotec vci papers from Cortec are nitrite-free and made from neutral/natural kraft paper that is fully recyclable as a paper raw material.
Double-coated paper
VCI paper with double corrosion protection is ideal for applications where metal components and metal parts stacked on top of each other need to be protected against corrosion. An example of such a product is Cortec Multimetal VpCI® 146 Double coated corrosion protection paper. The advantage of using double-coated VpCI paper is that you halve the material consumption in your packaging and you do not have to think about which side you turn inwards/outwards, with regard to the function of the corrosion protection. This solution is therefore both cost-effective and good for the environment.
Vci paper in combination with vci plastic
Using vci paper in combination with a protective vci plastic provides complete protection of metal components in harsh conditions.
- "We customise solutions for the most varied products, from the smallest spare part to bulky machines. This is a fascinating protection system, the most environmentally friendly and user-friendly on the market," says the sales manager at Tribotec, which currently markets around 400 different corrosion protection products.
