EcoCortec®

A certified compostable film designed to replace traditional non-degradable films such as low density and high density polyethylenes. It also provides superior mechanical properties and stability in comparison to other compostable films on the market. EcoFilm has been certified compostable by both DIN CERTCO and the Biodegradable Products Institute per EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 respectively. Unlike some compostable films, EcoFilm is heat and water stable and does not prematurely break down while in use making it ideally suited for organic waste collection and community composting programs. The exact time needed for EcoFilm to biodegrade is dependent upon the conditions and activity of the disposal environment (temperature, soil quality, activity of microorganisms). When placed in a typical commercial composting environment, EcoFilm will fully biodegrade into carbon dioxide and water within a matter of weeks. There is no ecotoxicity to the soil, plants, or microorganisms involved in this process. Since microorganisms are the means for biodegradation, EcoFilm is shelf and curb stable and will retain its integrity until disposed of properly. EcoFilm is available in a variety of sizes and constructions offering an environmentally friendly alternative for applications ranging from grocery bags to export shipping.

It is used for

• Export packaging
• Garbage and Mulch bags
• Grocery Bags
• Toy Packaging
• Parts Packaging
• Community composting programs
• Food and yard waste

EcoShield Paper is a packaging product coated with a water based barrier coating. One of its key features is that it is fully repulpable while displaying barrier properties similar or better than those of wax or polyethylene coated paper or linerboard. This product also shows excellent oil and grease resistance. EcoShield Paper can readily be recycled contrary to other barrier packaging products such as polycoated or waxed papers. There is no need for costly processes to separate the paper base from the coating. In addition to being friendly to the environment, EcoShield Paper is in compliance with FDA regulations. It can be used in applications where direct or indirect food contact may occur. EcoShield Paper displays a greatly reduced Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate(MVTR). In other words it has a similar MVTR value to that of polycoated or waxed paper, while being fully recyclable. EcoShield Paper is made from the highest quality recycled paper. EcoShield Paper can be used to protect items that are sensitive to moisture. The items may be wrapped in EcoShield Paper or packaged in boxes that have been made with EcoShield Linerboard.

They are constructed from the latest biobased polymer technology on the market. Designed with the environment in mind, EcoWorks AD contains 77% biobased content, and is designed to biodegrade in marine environments, anaerobic digestion, natural soil and water environments, backyard composting systems, and municipal composting facilities (in areas where these facilities are available). Finally, a plastic that’s truly environmentally friendly from origin to disposal. EcoWorksAD film and bags are the first bioplastic products suitable for both commercial and backyard (low temperature) composting. EcoWorks AD is anaerobically digestible and marine degradable, all without compromising on flexibility and strength! No matter what the disposal method, EcoWorks AD provides an advantage: In entombed landfills the main benefit is the film’s renewable content. In composting, it allows rapid anaerobic biodegradation naturally and safely. In anaerobic digestion (AD) systems or methane producing landfills (WtE), the film rapidly breaks down in as little as 15 days. Due to its ability to biodegrade in marine environments, EcoWorksAD provides coastal areas with a technological safety net to further support their legislative and social goals of coastal and marine preservation.

EcoWorks AD has also been awarded USDA Biopreferred designation for Packaging Materials (www.biopreferred. gov). It is heat, moisture, and chemical resistant making it an ideal film for community organic waste diversion and anaerobic digestion programs.

VpCI/VCI-125 Static Dissipative Film and Bags are unique in their ability to prevent corrosion and ESD damage. These film combine the most effective multimetal corrosion protection with strong static dissipative properties. Cortec VpCI films and bags replace conventional rust preventatives such as oils and desiccants, allowing your product to be used immediately without cleaning or degreasing. VpCI-125 bags effectively protect components from electrostatic discharge. They conform to the surface resistivity and static decay requirements of MIL-PRF-81705D (Static Dissipative Packaging Materials). VpCI-125 is non-toxic and doesn’t contain free amines, phosphates, silicones, or other harmful materials.

Some of its advantages :

• Contain Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI) to protect void spaces and recessed areas
• Provides multimetal VpCI protection to ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Prevents ESD damage
• Does not affect optical properties
• Does not affect plastics used in electronic industry
• Does not contain free amines or toxic compounds

High Technology Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibiting Films and Bags

Patented Worldwide - Multi-Metal VpCI® Systems

VpCI®/VCI-126 Series is the best selling anticorrosion PE film in the world today, with the highest level of corrosion protection demonstrated by standard and internal corrosion test methods. y. In addition to being fully recyclable, VpCI®/VCI- 126 Blue film is typically made with 20% recycled content; further improving the environmental footprint of this product

Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) 126 Series film combines the latest film technology with the most effective corrosion protection for all of your metal products. Sealing your product in Cortec® VpCI® films protects metal parts from all types of corrosion including rust, tarnish, stains, white rust, and oxidation for up to 5 years. It’s as easy as putting your product in a Cortec® VpCI® package! Cortec® VpCI® films and bags replace conventional rust preventatives such as oils and desiccants. They allow significant savings because VpCI® packaging eliminates the degreasing or coating removal required in the past. Now your product can be used immediately. VpCI®-126 is transparent, making it easy to identify parts. Additionally, it does not contain free amines, phosphates, or halogen-based materials, and is non-toxic and recyclable. VpCI®-126 Series films and bags protect metal objects as small as a needle to as large as the contents of an oceangoing container. VpCI®-126 Blue can be manufactured utilizing a wide array of the most advanced resins. Custom blends are available to give you the exact properties you need, whether it’s improved puncture resistance, tear strength, or other requirements. Metal parts packaged in Cortec® VpCI®-126 Blue receive continuous protection against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres, and dissimilar metal corrosion. The VpCIs vaporize and then condense to metal surfaces in the enclosed package. VpCI® reaches every area of your part, protecting its exterior as well as hard-to-reach interior surfaces. You get complete product protection during storage as well as during domestic and overseas shipments, virtually eliminating any rust claims. Cortec® VpCI®-126, when used as intended, is compliant with Food and Drug Administration regulations for packaging of food containers and food handling equipment.
