Corrust
A new way to protect metal products against corrosion
Corrust provides cost effective corrosion protection using a corrugated cardboard with a vapour corrosion inhibitor (VCI). The VCI is a special process where VCI molecules vaporise out of the coating and saturate the area within the package. Due to its polarisation character, the molecules attach themselves to the surface of the metal goods and this prevents the reaction of oxygen with the metal surface which causes rust.
| Save Money |
By using Corrust there is no requirement to use conservation oils, VCI papers, chemicals or degreasing cleaners. |
| Save Time | There is no need to apply corrosion prevention materials or for the end-user to clean off the protective coatings. |
Environment |
Chemicals used in the VCI treatment are fully biodegradable and recyclable. They do not use any nitrates, heavy metals, silicon or other dangerous substances and the materials can be handled without the need for any protective clothing. |
| Research | Several independent research institutes estimate that damage through corrosion in the engineering industry in Europe is several billion pounds per year. |
When new metal products are made they can be inserted straight into the Corrust® package without any need for the manufacturer to apply a corrosion protection material or to wrap it in VCI paper. This also means that the end users can open the package and use the product immediately without having to clean off any protective coating. This clearly saves the time taken to apply the protective material or to wrap it in VCI paper which bears a labour and material cost.
The minimum sheet size available is 250 x 600 mm and the maximum sheet size is 1500 x 3000 mm. Corrust® VCI coating is only applied to a pure Kraft liner as recycled liners contain harmful chemicals which will help generate rust.
Metal products, either ferrous or non ferrous, which are transported or are placed in long term storage are at risk from rust. Sea air (chlorides), or industrial smog (hydrogen dioxides) when combined with humidity create a chemical reaction the outcome of which is rusting of metal products.
Conversion
Corrust can either be applied to one or both sides of the corrugated board and it is green in colour. The coated board should be converted within 2-3 months of manufacture or it can be stored for longer provided it is fully wrapped with stretch or shrink wrap. If it is left unwrapped it will lose its VCI properties.
