Eco-Corr Film® is a bio-based and biodegradable film utilizing Cortec's patented VpCI® technology. According to Cortec, Eco-Corr is the first 100% biodegradable VCI film in the world, and provides better tensile strength, tear-resistance, and ultimate elongation than LDPE films. It is certified under DIN CERTCO DIN EN 13432 (Europe) and Biodegradable Products Institute ASTM D6400 (USA), as well as being heat and water stable and does not disintegrate or break apart while in use.

Eco-Corr Film provides contact, barrier, and Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) protection for up to two years. It provides multi-metal corrosion inhibitor protection and is an improved replacement for nondegradable and nitrite-based VCI films. Once exposed to soil or compost conditions, this product will disintegrate rapidly and completely within weeks, reports Cortec, without contaminating the soil. It is nitrite- and amine-free.

Metal parts packaged in Eco-Corr Film receive continuous protection against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture, aggressive industrial atmosphere, and dissimilar metal corrosion. The VpCIs vaporize and then condense on all metal surfaces in the enclosed package. VpCI reaches every area of a package, protecting exposed parts as well as hard-to-reach interior surfaces against micro-corrosion and providing complete protection during storage as well as domestic and overseas shipments.

Once put to use, Eco-Corr Film will remain effective with regard to mechanical strength until the film is placed in contact with material containing microorganisms, such as certain types of waste, soil, and compost. Under these conditions, 100% biodegradation into carbon dioxide and water will occur within a few weeks, with no residual contamination of the soil. Eco-Corr Film meets NACE TM0208-2008 and German Military Standard TL-8135-002 standards for corrosion protection.
