Croatia EcoCortec’s plant located in Beli Manastir, Croatia has become the first Cortec powered Nano VpCI to produce the first certified biodegradable anticorrosion film.
EcoCorr Film, a biodegradable, compostable packaging film that provides contact, barrier, and vapour corrosion inhibition, is created in Cortec’s laboratories by utilising some of the most contemporary green technologies.
EcoCorr Film is biodegradable, compostable packaging film that provides contact, barrier, and vapour corrosion inhibition. Various formulations containing up to 40% bio-based content are available and can be designed to fit required properties ranging from highly elastic to semi-rigid structures.
When placed in a typical commercial composting environment, EcoCorr film will fully disintegrate within two-three months. The film is extremely elastic and can be used as a complete replacement for non-degradable and inferior blend films. The exact time for films to biodegrade is dependent upon the conditions and activity of the disposal environment (temperature, soil quality, activity of microorganisms).
EcoCorr is patented under US patents 6,028, 160 and 6,156,929. Metal parts packaged in EcoCorr receive continuous protection against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres and dissimilar metal corrosion.
EcoCorr will be available across Europe and beyond from EcoCortec’s Croatia plant.
In EcoCortec, the Cortec said,it is to promote a circular, sustainable economy aimed at minimizing waste and making the most of resources.
