Advice on corrosion protection - Import export

EXCOR EMIBO Classic Capsules can be used as VCI diffusers in cavities in transport and storage packages. The simple dosing and ease of handling makes them ideal for users' individual container systems; spent diffusers are simply replaced by new ones. If used according to the instructions, EXCOR EMIBO VCI diffusers provide corrosion protection for up to 15 years. If the packaging is re-used, the capsules can be replaced as and when the circumstances of your product cycle allow. EXCOR will be glad to offer advice on suitable replacement intervals. On request EXCOR can provide EMIBO Classic capsules fitted with self-adhesive strips or Velcro to allow them to be attached to the packaging.

EXCOR PERIGOL VCI 230 is used to provide corrosion protection for ferrous metals, steel, cast iron, copper and aluminium alloys as well as fully or partially galvanised steel. Solvent-free PERIGOL VCI 230 contains vaporising corrosion inhibitors and may be applied via immersion, spraying or brushing. This product has been specially developed for the protection of metallic cavities. Thanks to the VCI it contains, coating the floor of a case suffices to protect the inner walls from corrosion. PERIGOL VCI 230 is compatible with a wide variety of engine and gear oils, meaning as a rule it does not have to be removed after shipment. In direct contact with metal surfaces PERIGOL VCI 230 forms an oily, non-wipeproof film on the metal surfaces which may be removed using aqueous alkaline media.

The EMIBO Nature VCI dispenser capsule consists of 100 percent natural raw materials. While the shell is made of tough cardboard, the VCI carrier inside the capsule consists of multi-layered technical filter paper. For faster VCI release and improved circulation, EMIBO Nature uses an innovative VCI chamber system. In addition to a rapid build-up of the VCI protective atmosphere, EMIBO Nature offers a reservoir of active ingredients that maintains its protective function even under extreme climatic conditions. As a handy accessory, the VCI dispenser made of pure cellulose is particularly suitable for one-way packaging. It is simply disposed of as waste paper.

EXCOR ZERUST Capsules have been specially designed for the protection of electrical and electronic equipment such as switchboards. EXCOR VCI corrosion protection is provided within a defined radius. EXCOR offers customers ZERUST capsules which remain effective for approximately one to two years, depending on how well sealed the surrounding space or packaging is. EXCOR ZERUST Capsules should be positioned as centrally as possible within the packaging and as close as possible to the metal requiring protection. A self-adhesive strip on the back of each capsule makes them easy to attach.

EXCOR UNICO is a soft open-cell foam 5 mm thick which has been impregnated with VCI. Thanks to its cellular structure it has a very large diffusing surface area which means that the VCIs rapidly reach saturation point within the packaging. UNICO foam can be used as a VCI booster in very voluminous film packages. UNICO foam is available in rolls or sheets. It is odour-free, dry and resistant to ageing. If you wish to attach it to walls or lids EXCOR can supply the product fitted with a self-adhesive strip.

A new method of pipeline corrosion protection, which provides the answer to both elimination and monitoring of corrosion, has recently been developed Abfad Limited. PIPEVAC® is an innovative pipe protection system which has been developed to eliminate external corrosion by creating a vacuum around a pipe. With the creation of an external vacuum it is now possible to monitor the pipeline in sections, which enables our clients an opportunity to investigate any alarm and take action to protect their assets and the environment from pollution. An internal or external breach of the pipe will activate an alarm as vacuum pressure will not be able to be maintained. PIPEVAC® also prevents against CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) as the integrated vacuum system prevents moisture and oxygen from attacking the external surface area of the pipe, thereby preventing any of the conditions for corrosion to occur.
