PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Parts protected are always ready for use; no degreas- ing or coating removal is required. Application of multifunctional materials such as VpCI®-130 Series Foams results in significant weight and labor savings.

Metal parts packaged with VpCI®-130 Series Foams receive continuous protection against humidity, condensation, aggres- sive industrial atmospheres, dissimilar metal corrosion (galvanic corrosion), salt air, and residual impurities left after processing.

FEATURES
Cortec® VpCI®-130 Series Foams are specially designed withVapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) impregnated throughout the foam’s polymeric matrix. They are excellent for protection of fer- rous, non-ferrous metals, and alloys such as: steel, copper, brass, aluminum, zinc, solder, silver, etc. VpCI®-130 Series Foams do not change critical physical and/or chemical properties of electronic components, and are suitable for protection of printed circuit boards.

BENEFITS
VpCI®-130 Series Foams are nitrite- and chromate-free. The high performance patented formulation of VpCI® provides fast, easy-to- use protection even in aggressive overseas shipments.

VpCI®-130 Series Foams contain approximately ten (10) times more VpCI® chemical per square foot (square meter) of substrate than the traditional VCI papers and other wrapping materials. This makes the protection of objects with large surface areas possible (i.e.: aluminum and steel coils). The unique combination of high and low vapor pressure VpCIs contained in VpCI®-130 Series Foams affords long-term protection for large export packages, crates, and seagoing containers.

Combine VpCI®-130 Foam with Cortec® VpCI®-125/126 film to create a highly effective VpCI® packaging solution.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
VpCI®-130 Series Foam forms a strong protection as long as the enclosure remains sealed and there are no barriers between the metal surface and the VpCI® molecules. The placement of the foam is not important as long as it has access to the same air space as the metal to be protected. This product line is not intended to be used for cushioning purposes; excess pressure applied to the foam can wring the inhibitor from the substrate. In some situations this may leave a residue on the surface which will need to be removed with water or rubbing alcohol.
