Product Description:
Safepack VCI Masterbatch is a Nitrite-Free anti-corrosion masterbatch designed for both ferrous and most of the non-ferrous metals. The VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) additives in “SP-VCIMB-2001” are partly based on chemicals with enough energy (vapor pressure) to release the active anticorrosion molecules from the film & out in the environmental air to protect the metal packed from corrosion. Extrusion of polyethylene film with SP-VCIMB-2001 will produce a finished product that combines the properties of polyethylene resin and the VCI which will solve the corrosion problems. It is available with color pigment as well as without color pigment. With color pigment masterbatch, the film will give transparent bluish-green color film.
Product Application:
“SP-VCIMB-2001” is blended with polyethylene resin (LDPE/ LLDPE/ HDPE) with a concentration of 6-9% by weight depending on the thickness of the film or application and requested shelf life. The length of protection anticipated by film containing VCIMB is 2 years when extruded with ideal processing guideline. We recommend that an evaluation is made in every single case to confirm that the anticorrosion effect is fulfilling the demands. It is also recommended to conduct the field tests before regular production.
Packaging:
25 Kg masterbatch packed in high barrier Al. Foil Laminate with the inside liner of HMHDPE film for maximum humidity protection.
Handling and storage:
We recommend indoor storage at maximum 300 C in stores which is clean, dry and ventilated. Storage period in the original package is 12 months. Opened bags should be closed very tightly after use for further storing.
Environmental Aspects:
“SP-VCIMB-2001” is completely free from nitrite which is considered as carcinogenic. It does not contain substances which are considered as dangerous to the health, neither in the production phase of film, nor in the use of the end product. Films containing “SP-VCIMB-2001” can be recycled as material and as energy.
