The unique three-dimensional shape of these bags allows them to conform effectively to various items, including bulky or irregularly shaped objects, ensuring all-around protection. Clever design of 3D bags powered by VpCI® helps businesses around the world by making their packaging processes smoother and more efficient. A significant highlight of the new 3D Bags Powered by VpCI® is their strong commitment to sustainability. Available in Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) versions, these bags are developed with a high amount of recycled content, promoting efficient resource recovery, recycling, and reuse. This minimizes the ecological footprint without compromising the superior mechanical and corrosion- inhibiting properties customers expect from EcoCortec®.
Key Benefits of 3D Bags Powered by VpCI®:
Superior Corrosion Protection: Bags continuously protect against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres, and dissimilar metal corrosion.
Time and Cost Savings: 3D Bags Powered by VpCI® replace traditional rust preventatives like oils and desiccants, eliminating the need for degreasing or coating removal. Parts are ready for immediate use upon unpacking, saving significant time and labor.
Green Sustainable Packaging Option: Available in fully recyclable versions, including those with up to 30% post-consumer recycled content. They are transparent for easy part identification, non-toxic, and do not contain free amines, phosphates, or halogen-based materials.
Versatile & Customizable: Available in various designs, applications, and capabilities, with custom blends for improved puncture resistance, tear strength, or other specific requirements.
The 3D Bags Powered by VpCI® line includes several advanced versions such as bags preventing both corrosion and electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, ideal for static-sensitive multi-metal items like electronics as well as VpCI®-126 HP UV Shrink 3D Bags combing VpCI®’s with high- strength resins and UV stabilizers for most aggressive outdoor conditions. Biodegradable and compostable options are also available such as EcoCorr® and EcoWorks® 3D Bags. These biodegradable and industrially compostable corrosion inhibiting film bags, certified by TÜV Austria, disintegrate into carbon dioxide and water within 2-3 months in a commercial composting environment. EcoCortec's 3D VpCI® bags are now available globally to customers, shipped directly from the Beli Manastir plant. EcoCortec® is dedicated to providing the most environmentally sustainable VpCI®/VCI solutions in the industry, and the new 3D Bags Powered by VpCI® exemplify this commitment, offering a powerful solution for modern industrial packaging needs.
