Corrosion of complex electrical and electronic equipment is an increasingly serious problem causing expensive failures. Corrosion occurs during manufacturing, shipping, storage, and field operations. It can be caused by:

• Salt, moisture, contaminants, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, or acid rain

• Galvanically induced attack

• Equipment operation in non-controlled atmospheres

^With Cortec Emitting Systems, sensitive equipment is protected against corrosion, thereby extending its life and reducing the cost of expensive repairs.

BENEFITS

• Non-toxic and safe to handle and apply
• The molecular VpCI layer does not interfere with electrical, optical or mechanical surface properties
• Static dissipating and desiccant ability
• Does not require removal prior to start up

Cortec VpCI sprays, emitting devices, tapes and foams are design to protect components and parts against corrosion for use in interior enclosures which are covered, closed and sealed. Length of protection depends on integrity of sealing and atmospheric conditions.

ASTM D-1748 (Humidity Chamber) Test Results

No Protection vs. VpCI Protection

Cortec’s Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor stands up to vigorous testing.

This accelerated test method for rust protection in a humidity cabinet is used for evaluating the rust preventative properties of metal preservatives under conditions of high humidity. One circuit board was left untreated in an enclosure while the other was treated with Cortec’s Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Electricorr VpCI-248. The two boards were then suspended in a humidity cabinet at 120 degrees F (48.9 degrees C) for a period of four weeks. The criteria for passing or failing the test is the size and number of rust dots on the test surfaces
