In the field of metal protection, few products can claim the global adoption and consistent performance of VpCI®-126 film, developed by Cortec Corporation.
As the product approaches its twentieth anniversary of production at the EcoCortec facility in Croatia, this corrosion protection film represents a tangible example of how technological innovation and sustainability can come together to deliver an effective industrial solution.
Today, VpCI®-126 is used across a wide range of industries — from automotive and electronics to industrial machinery — confirming its position as a benchmark solution for corrosion protection during storage and transportation.
One of the key distinguishing features of VpCI®-126 film is its ability to provide long-lasting, dry corrosion protection without the need for oils or greases.
The VpCI® (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) technology releases molecules that diffuse throughout the packaging environment and create an invisible protective layer on metal surfaces. This allows metals to be protected for up to five years in indoor environments, avoiding residues and post-removal cleaning treatments while preserving component integrity even under complex logistics conditions. From an operational perspective, the film is translucent, flexible and resistant, making product inspection and packaging operations easier.
Its versatility is further enhanced by the availability of different formats and characteristics, allowing the solution to be adapted to specific production and logistics requirements. VpCI®-126 is available as shrink film, stretch film and reinforced film, as well as in the form of bags, tubing and sheets, including a PCR version made with post-consumer recycled plastic.
Behind the success of VpCI®-126 film is the work of EcoCortec, a European manufacturing facility that has established itself over the past twenty years as an advanced technological hub. By integrating the main production stages, EcoCortec ensures not only high-quality standards, but also complete supply chain control and faster delivery times.
A solution looking towards the future of corrosion protection
Almost twenty years after production began, VpCI®-126 film continues to represent a current and strategic solution for companies operating in complex industrial environments. The balance between technical performance, ease of application and environmental responsibility meets the needs of a supply chain increasingly focused on reducing the use of more impactful traditional substances, optimising packaging processes and improving the overall sustainability of operations.
