Permanent ESD Film powered by Nano-VpCI with a high PCR content
EcoCortec is the European subsidiary of Cortec Corporation, located in Croatia. Anticorrosion and bioplastics manufacturing facility is committed to innovation and sustainability, contributing to the circular economy through the use of high amounts of recycled content.
Take a new approach to ESD packaging for electronics
In the world of electronics manufacturing, ESD managers have the critical role of ensuring that components do not get damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Corrosion protection is often a lower priority but should also be on the radar for manufacturers who want their electronics to reach the end user in good condition. Cortec has designed two-in-one ESD packaging solutions that meet both needs and is eager to turn the spotlight on EcoSonic ES...
A look at the corrosion protection of electricals
Cortec analyses best practices to avoid corrosion and protect electricals and electronics from it.
Extending electrical/electronic service life
Electronics and electricals have undoubtedly become an integral part of everyday life. Without them, normal activity stops and efforts to repair the failed component become top priority. Unfortunately, many do not realize that failures and malfunctions due to corrosion can be easily mitigated with the proper preventative maintenance plans in place. Sometimes, the answer is to extending electrical/electronic service life as simple as installing a ...
Avoid corrosion in backup chiller pumps with Cortec
Cortec offers relief from corrosion complications with two water treatments that contain vapour phase Corrosion Inhibitors.
Cortec USA acquires ownership of Cortec Southeast Asia
Cortec Corporation, the global specialist in VpCI/MCI corrosion control technologies, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Cortec Southeast Asia (CSEA) offices in Singapore.
EcoSonic VpCI static dissipative stretch film
Cortec Laboratories have developed new specialty film for electronics, munitions, fertilisers and several other industrial applications where static discharge could result in dangerous packaging conditions.
MCI technology applied on Peljesac Bridge providing road link
Ranking among the most demanding bridges in the world - not only in terms of complexity of construction but also in a complex design - 2,404m long, Peljesac bridge is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Europe.
Corrosion protection saves money in automotive tooling
When thinking of corrosion protection in the auto industry, it is easy to focus on rust prevention for vehicles and auto parts themselves. But it can be just as important to protect the tooling and dies used to make the auto components. For example, corrosion on plastic injection molds for auto interiors or on gauging equipment for quality inspection can lead to costly repairs or losses if not prevented.
Eco Works ESD compostable electrostatic dissipating film
Cortec has announced that new Eco Works ESD is available from Croatian bioplastics plant, EcoCortec. Green Eco Works ESD proprietary technology is a range of formulations that encompasses environmentally safe and dissipating features. These formulations can be customised to customer’s precise needs.
Eco Wrap: compostable industrial stretch film
Eco Wrap, a compostable industrial strength machine grade stretch film, is here. The latest formula uses a certified compostable resin plus a tackifier additive to make an industrial strength compostable stretch wrap that can be used on most standard automated stretch wrap equipment.
Custom EcoSonic VpCI-125 HP permanent ESD film and bags
EcoCortec has announced that it is now offering new and improved custom EcoSonic VpCI-125 HP permanent ESD film and bags. This will enable prompt delivery of custom made film and bags to European and Asian customers.
Fast-dry water-based micro corrosion inhibiting coating
Cortec has continued to develop environmentally responsible corrosion solutions, including its line of water-based VpCI micro corrosion inhibiting coatings. Cortec’s water-based varieties minimise worker exposure to solvent fumes and typically reduce the amount of VOCs released to the atmosphere.
Weathering the storm in the oil & gas industry
In these days of plummeting oil & gas prices and uncertainty on every side, it is important for rig owners and operators to have a good layup strategy in place. This will help them retain the value of their assets until the market warrants bringing them back online.
Corrosion prevention plan for grounded aircraft
As hundreds of aircrafts remain grounded due to plummeting air travel demand amid pandemic restrictions, the question becomes: How can airlines preserve as much value as possible while high-dollar assets sit idle for an indefinite period? Cortec has developed a corrosion prevention plan for grounded aircraft.
Sustaining wind farms with VpCI technology
Wind and solar power are fast becoming the renewable energies of choice in countries across the globe. Offshore and onshore wind energy is emerging in and around the seas of the world. Now engineers are battling the question of how to make renewable infrastructure last.
Enhanced corrosion protection of water-based coatings systems
Formulators looking to enhance the corrosion protection of increasingly popular water-based coatings systems can now use Cortec’s M-120, a water-based corrosion inhibitor additive that does not contain heavy metals. M-120 can be used alone or in conjunction with other inhibitors to increase the corrosion protection abilities of both water-based and solvent-based systems. It is recommended for use in acrylic and alkyd resin systems.
Easy spray formula for powerful, long-term corrosion protection
The ready to use spray from Cortec, the VpCI-329 D ES, reportedly provides strong rust prevention for metals in indoor and outdoor sheltered conditions. The product can be easily applied/sprayed from a handheld trigger spray bottle. It offers a convenient way to protect gears, spindles, coils, or any other metal parts that require a light coat of oil for further processing and shipment.
Equipment protection simplified with water-based removable coating
The VpCI-391 water-based coating from Cortec is best suited for transit and storage protection options for equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and owners. This removable coating delivers exceptional corrosion protection for indoor and outdoor applications and dries to a thin, clear film which is virtually unnoticeable. VpCI-391 can be used to protect both unpainted and painted surfaces, as well as to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
MCI technology used to restore European historical buildings
Saint Donatus, symbol of the city of Zadar is classified among the most famous and most valuable monuments in Croatia. Moreover, due to its unusual cylindrical appearance and robust monumentality, it belongs to the most significant European pre-Romanesque churches. The church is a protected cultural heritage listed in the Register of the Republic of Croatia on UNESCO's list.
