With MilCorr® products, preservation costs may be decreased 40-60% according to well documented data for deep storage and preservation of military vehicles and equipment.
Billions of dollars in assets are lost every year by the military due to corrosion. Many factors are considered when evaluating corrosion prevention as it is necessary to maintain a corrosion control and prevention strategy that is efficient yet economical. Over the years, various methods of corrosion prevention have been adopted by the military. New strategies are continually being developed and evaluated for effective corrosion control. Utilizing VpCI® technology has shown to be one of the most effective methods throughout the years. Cortec® offers another corrosion prevention solution to its professional MilCorr® line of products used by military personnel globally. This heavy-duty film with superior mechanical properties features Cortec’s multi-metal Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors, flame retardant additives, and UV (Ultra Violet) inhibitors. It is successfully used not only for military, but also for preservation of other various types of industrial equipment.
MilCorr® FR VpCI® Shrink Film provides a top-notch universal protection system to maintain the integrity of the film itself, as well as the parts packaged within. It reduces costs of protection and extends asset life. MilCorr® FR VpCI® Shrink Film, in conjunction with other Cortec® products, provides a total turnkey preservation for long term outdoor storage. With MilCorr® products, preservation costs may be decreased 40-60% according to well documented data for deep storage and preservation of military vehicles and equipment. Savings of millions of dollars in hazardous waste generation is also a part of this data.
