Daubert Cromwell unveils biodegradable VCI films
In Illinois, corrosion‑prevention packaging materials firm Daubert Cromwell has introduced partially biobased polyethylene Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor films that are designed to both biodegrade in anaerobic environments, including most landfills, and be 100% recyclable. The films were developed in collaboration with BioNatur Plastics, a company producing partially biobased plastics.
VCI films are a critical tool in modern manufacturing and supply chains. Metal parts and assemblies—from precision-machined components and stamped parts to automotive subassemblies, aerospace hardware, and heavy equipment—are highly vulnerable to corrosion from moisture, humidity, and airborne contaminants at every stage of their journey.
Daubert Cromwell’s VCI films work by continuously emitting corrosion-inhibiting chemistry that forms a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces, effectively halting rust and oxidation.
