Are you still relying on nitrogen blanketing to protect your critical industrial assets? It might be time to rethink your strategy.

While nitrogen blanketing aims to slow corrosion by removing oxygen, real-world environments bring moisture, chlorides, and contaminants that it simply can't fix. Independent university testing shows that Cortec® VpCI® technology delivers significantly better corrosion protection—reducing corrosion rates by more than an order of magnitude compared to nitrogen.

Unlike nitrogen, VpCI® doesn't just alter the atmosphere; it actively protects the metal surface itself, migrating into complex internal spaces, threads, and crevices.

The best part? No continuous gas supply, no pressure monitoring, and none of the safety hazards associated with nitrogen leaks.

Read the full breakdown and see the data from the independent study here: Why Cortec VCI Technology Outperforms Nitrogen Blanketing for Asset Preservation

For decades, nitrogen blanketing has been a common method for protecting storage tanks, process equipment, pipelines, and other enclosed metal assets from corrosion. By replacing oxygen with an inert atmosphere, it helps slow one of the key ingredients required for corrosion. But in real-world indus...

Stop Letting Rust Eat Into Your Profits! 💸⚙️

Plastic injection molds are among the most valuable assets in your facility. Even in climate-controlled shops, humidity, residual moisture, and invisible fingerprint acids can quietly cause pitting and ruin mirror finishes—leading to expensive downtime and rework.

Our latest guide breaks down a complete, step-by-step preservation procedure to keep your tooling pristine and production-ready:

✅ The Critical First Step: Why skipping a thorough clean with EcoAir® 414 traps destructive moisture underneath your coating.
✅ The Fingerprint Factor: How a simple habit—always wearing protective gloves during handling—prevents localized oxidation.
✅ Choosing Your Shield: Should you use a dry, waxy barrier like CorShield® VpCI®-368 or a quick-release thin oil like EcoAir® Tool & Die?
✅ Locking It In: How wrapping with Cor-Pak® Stretch Film adds a secondary vapor-phase layer of protection against shop dust and debris.

Don't wait for the next production cycle to discover a rusted mold cavity. Protect your precision, extend tool life, and keep your operation moving.
