La technologie VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) repose sur l’émission d’inhibiteurs volatils de corrosion contenus dans différents supports d’emballage.

Ces molécules protectrices se diffusent dans l’air et créent une protection anticorrosion en phase vapeur autour des pièces. Elles forment une barrière moléculaire qui empêche les réactions d’oxydation responsables de la corrosion.

Les solutions VpCI Cortec se présentent sous plusieurs formes afin de répondre aux différentes contraintes industrielles :

• VpCI-126 film and VCI covers for protecting machinery or industrial equipment
• VCI anti-corrosion paper
• VCI pouch or VCI bag for small parts
• VCI foam and VCI emitters for enclosed spaces such as electrical cabinets or enclosures

CORTEC VpCI-126® anti-corrosion film is available as a co-extruded (three-layer) or mono-extruded (single-layer) polyethylene film.

VCI corrosion protection works by releasing inhibitor molecules into an enclosed space.

When VpCI-126 films, VCI pouches, or VCI anti-corrosion paper are placed in an enclosed space, the corrosion inhibitors diffuse into the air in vapor form.

The VCI molecules then settle on metal surfaces and form an invisible protective barrier. This molecular layer blocks the chemical reactions that cause material corrosion, particularly those caused by :

• Humidity
• oxygene
• airborne contaminants

VCI corrosion protection also works in hard-to-reach areas, such as cavities, threads, bores, and the internal parts of equipment.

VCI anti-corrosion solutions offer numerous advantages over traditional protection methods that use anti-corrosion oils or greases.

Clean and dry protection

Unlike oil-based treatments, VCI films, VCI anti-corrosion paper, and VCI bags leave no residue on parts.

This allows for the replacement of the greases, oils, or desiccants typically used to prevent corrosion. As a result, it eliminates the need for greasing and degreasing operations.

Ready for immediate use

Once the package is opened, the protected components can be used immediately without any cleaning or degreasing.

Long-lasting protection

The anti-corrosion VCI film from the Cortec line protects materials for a period of two years.

Integral protection

The anti-corrosion VCI film from the Cortec line protects materials for a period of two years.

Le film anticorrosion VCI de la gamme Cortec assure une protection des matériaux pendant deux ans.

VCI films, VCI bags, and VCI paper are particularly well-suited for protecting metal parts during transport and storage.

IFServices implements comprehensive VCI corrosion protection systems to protect sensitive industrial equipment.

Our solutions include :

• the use of VCI film or VCI covers for large equipment
• the inclusion of VCI pouches or VCI foam that release corrosion inhibitors
• the use of VCI anti-corrosion paper for packaging metal components
• the creation of enclosed spaces that allow for optimal diffusion of volatile corrosion inhibitors

For companies in the nuclear industry, we offer the NuCorr® VCI PMUC corrosion protection range. Specifically designed for applications in nuclear power plants, this VCI PMUC range complies with EDF-UTO requirements.

The NuCorr® product line has received PMUC certification.
This certification confirms that its halogen and sulfur content meets the requirements of nuclear power plants.

Tout comme la version VpCI-126 Cortec, le film VCI NuCorr offre une protection multimétal efficace contre différents types de corrosion (rouille, piqûres, ternissures, rouille blanche, etc.).

As part of an industrial preservation project, our teams have implemented a comprehensive VCI protection solution.

To protect sensitive equipment, the installation included :

• the construction of a wooden frame of approximately 400 m³ to serve as a supporting structure.
• la construction d’une charpente en bois d’environ 400 m³ destinée à servir de structure porteuse.
• the manufacture of the casing using high-frequency and thermal welding to ensure a perfect seal
• the addition of VCI PMUC Biopad® corrosion-inhibiting foam within a radius of approximately one meter

This system creates a protected environment that provides protection against corrosion.

This ensures that the parts are protected during periods of extended storage or when industrial facilities are shut down.
