EcoCortec® plant proudly announces the launch of VpCI®-126 HP UV VCI Films Shrink Film PCR. This PCR version of Cortec’s best seller VpCI®-126 HP UV Shrink Film comes as an addition to plant’s growing assortment of PCR films.
This shift reflects a significant growth in the market for sustainable packaging, as companies increasingly prioritize environmental responsibility. By incorporating postconsumer recycled (PCR) materials, we’re not just protecting metal; we are protecting our planet, contributing to a more sustainable future for everyone.
VCI Films is a sustainable solution with high post-consumer recycled content and is designed to optimize recycling and reuse, minimizing the environmental impact. It enables customers to achieve sustainability goals without compromising on mechanical or corrosion-inhibiting performance.
EcoCortec® is a European subsidiary of Cortec® Corporation, global corrosion inhibitor manufacturer specializing in green anticorrosion packaging. Croatian plant is a leading manufacturer of sustainable VCI Films VpCI®/VCI packaging solutions in Europe. The plant entered recycling partnership with its eco-conscious German distributor, Jakob Schober GmbH of Waldorf, Germany in 2024 which resulted in launching the new VpCI®-126 HP UV VCI Films Shrink Film PCR.
Recycling collaboration between two companies was heavily influenced by the shared commitment to sustainability. Plastic scrap from Waldorf is returned to EcoCortec’s plant in Beli Manastir. This partnership enables the recovery and reuse of plastic scrap, incorporating it back into high-quality finished goods. Upon arrival from the German facility, the recycled polymer is inspected at EcoCortec®, re-granulated using state-of-the-art reprocessing equipment, and tested in the lab.
Cortec®’s VpCI®-126 HP UV Shrink Film PCR combines high strength resins with ultraviolet light stabilizers (UV), Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor Technology and 30 % of high-quality post-consumer recycled content. VpCI®-126 HP UV Shrink Film PCR is a force field against rust and corrosion, lasting up to three years, even when mother nature throws her worst at your valuable equipment.
This isn’t just shrink wrap; it’s a shield, infused with unique UV-resistant inhibitors that prevent degradation. Whether it’s complex machinery with hidden crevices, multiple metals or vehicles facing harsh elements, this film provides unmatched corrosion protection. Its transparency lets you see your parts without breaking the seal. Metal parts receive continuous protection against salt air and humid environments, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres, and dissimilar metal corrosion.
VpCI®-126 HP VCI Films UV Shrink Film PCR in conjunction with other Cortec® products, provides a total turnkey preservation for long term storage. We are proud that this new launch highlights the power of collaboration and innovation.
The partnership between EcoCortec® and Jakob Schober GmbH demonstrates how a shared commitment to environmental responsibility can lead to the development of cutting-edge products like VpCI®-126 HP UV Shrink Film PCR. This film not only delivers exceptional protection but also embodies the principles of a circular economy, proving that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.
