Rugged plastic film provides packaging, unitization support
Cortec Corp.
The recently reformulated Cor-Pak VpCl Stretch Film (photo) provides cost-effective corrosion protection for primary packaging and unitization (when loading pallets). It offers both vapor-phase and contact protection for carbon and galvanized steels, aluminum, copper, brass, zinc and other metal containers. The film provides puncture resistance (under maximum ASTM D1709-04 dart-drop load) and load holding to ensure packaging integrity. The film is made from a blend of polyethylene resins and the company’s patented VpCl technology. It does not contain polyisobutylene (PIB) or other tackifiers in the cling layer, so it does not leave residue on parts. The self-adhering film bonds to each layer for added strength. It is FDA-approved for use on food-handling equipment, says the company. — Cortec Corp., St. Paul, Minn.
