TORONTO, March 2, 2006 – Polyair, www.polyair.com, an industry leader
in the North American protective packaging market, introduces the VCI-2000™ line
of Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI’s) packaging. This product introduction
is the result of Polyair’s joint venture with Grofit Plastics, an industry
leader in the design and manufacturing of anti-corrosion films and packaging.
VCI-2000™, www.vci2000.com, represents a complete packaging product line
of Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI’s) that have transformed the automotive
and steel industries by protecting the exterior and hard-to-reach interior
surfaces of metal parts. Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI), also called Vapor
Phase Inhibitors (VPI), are compounds transported in a closed environment to
the site of corrosion by volatilization from a source.
Major companies in the automotive and electronics sectors including General
Electric, Caterpiller, John Deere and General Motors depend on VCI-2000 flexible
packaging and emitters to prevent corrosion for products in storage and in
transit. This availability of the VCI-2000 line is in response to customers’ call
for flexible packaging made with the latest polymer technology with vapor corrosion
inhibitors that protect ferrous and most non-ferrous metals from corrosion. “The
slow release vapor action of the VCI-2000 line offers long term corrosion protection
to a variety of metals including carbon steels, stainless steels, copper, brass,
aluminum, silver and galvanized steel,” said Alan Castle, president,
Polyair.
Polyair’s VCI-2000™ line provides a full range of VCI flexible
packaging solutions including bags, zipper and slider bags, film, tube film,
stretch film, gusset bags and covers. VCI-2000™ provides the highest
available long-term corrosion protection for ferrous and most non-ferrous metals
due to its low temperature polymer and co-ex extrusion technologies. The VCI-2000™ product
line provides corrosion protection for regional and overseas shipments and
storage.
Polyair’s complete line of anti-corrosive VCI packaging products includes:
- VCI-2000 Bags, Zipper bags, Gusseted Bags and Shrink bags
- VCI-2000 Sheeting and Tubing for automatic packaging machines
- VCI-2000 Embossed films for bearing packaging
- VCI-2000 Emitters, Powder Packs, Foams and Wire to provide corrosion protection.
“We aligned with Polyair to ensure wider distribution and availability
of our industry-leading anti-corrosive films and packaging products,” said
Buki Schwartzman, President of the joined company VCI2000, based in Northbrook,
Illinois. “Polyair and Grofit Plastics are committed to
ensuring the availability of cost-efficient packaging and storage
methods that offer product integrity that protects ferrous and
non-ferrous metals from corrosion.”
