Cortec® VpCI® Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors

Advanced Corrosion Protection from ECORR Systems

Corrosion is an ever-present and costly threat to metal parts, equipment, components, assemblies, and finished goods. Whether metal is being manufactured, packaged, shipped, stored, or preserved, exposure to moisture, oxygen, salts, chemicals, and harsh environments can lead to rust, product damage, downtime, and expensive repairs.

ECORR Systems is an Authorized Cortec® Distributor providing environmentally responsible corrosion prevention solutions built around Cortec® VpCI® Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor technology. Cortec® VpCI® products are designed to help protect metal surfaces from corrosion in packaging systems, enclosed spaces, storage environments, manufacturing operations, and long-term preservation applications.

What Is Cortec® VpCI® Technology?

Cortec® VpCI® technology uses vapor phase corrosion inhibitors that migrate through an enclosed space and form a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces. This helps protect exposed surfaces as well as recessed areas, voids, cavities, and other hard-to-reach locations where traditional corrosion prevention methods may be difficult to apply.

Traditional anti-corrosion methods can be messy, costly, labor-intensive, or hazardous to personnel and the environment. Cortec® VpCI® technology offers a practical and cost-effective approach to corrosion prevention, helping businesses protect valuable assets while supporting cleaner and more environmentally responsible maintenance, packaging, and preservation practices.

The Ionic Action of Cortec® VpCI® Technology

Cortec® VpCI® technology works through a protective vapor phase process:

1. VpCI® molecules vaporize from the corrosion inhibiting product.
2. The enclosed atmosphere is conditioned with a protective vapor.
3. The vapor migrates to recessed areas, voids, and cavities.
4. The vapor condenses on metal surfaces.
5. Ions dissolve and form a thin protective molecular layer at the metal surface.
6. The protective layer can re-heal and replenish through further condensation of the vapor.

VpCI® Products for Multiple Corrosion Control Applications

Cortec® VpCI® technology can be incorporated into a wide range of corrosion control solutions and may be combined with additional functional properties depending on the product and application.
