PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Eco-Corr ® is the first and only certified biodegradable 

corrosion inhibiting film. Eco-Corr ® contains Cortec’s 

proprietary VpCI technology and provides excellent 

contact, barrier and vapor-phase corrosion protection 

for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Various formulations 

containing up to 40% biobased content are available and 

can be designed to fit required properties ranging from 

highly elastic to semi-rigid structures. 

Eco-Corr ® is certified 100% biodegradable and 

compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute/ 

United States Composting Council (BPI/USCC) according 

to ASTM D6400. When placed in a typical commercial 

composting environment, Eco-Corr ® films will fully 

biodegrade into carbon dioxide and water within a matter 

of weeks. There is no ecotoxicity to the soil, plants or 

microorganisms involved in this process. The exact time 

for films to biodegrade is dependent upon the conditions 

and activity of the disposal environment (temperature, 

soil quality, activity of microorganisms). Eco-Corr ® films 

are shelf stable and will not break down prematurely until 

disposed of in a proper composting environment. 

Eco-Corr ® is patented under US patents 6,028,160 and 

6,156,929. 

Applications 

Metal parts packaged in Eco-Corr ® receive continuous 

protection against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, 

moisture, aggressive industrial atmosphere and dissimilar 

metal corrosion. The Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors 

vaporize and then condense on all metal surfaces in the 

enclosed package. VpCI reaches every area of your 

part, protecting its exterior as well as hard to reach 

interior surfaces. You get complete product protection 

during storage as well as during domestic and overseas 

shipments, virtually eliminating any rust claims. Once the 

film is no longer needed, Eco-Corr ® can be composted 

and will degrade into carbon dioxide and water within 

weeks, certified under BPS guidelines. 

FEATURES 

• The first and only 100% biodegradable, 100% 

compostable packaging film that provides contact, 

barrier and vapor corrosion inhibition 

• Provides multimetal corrosion inhibitor protection 

• Meets NACE TM0208-2008 standard for corrosion 

protection. Conforms to NACE Standard Recommended 

Practice RP0487-2000 Considerations in the Selection 

of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors. 

• Meets German TL-8135-002 standard for corrosion 

protection

® is a 

great alternative to conventional polyethylene films. Eco- 

Corr ® has a shelf life of up to two years, when sealed 

in original packaging. Once removed and put to use, 

Eco-Corr ® will remain effective with regard to mechanical 

strength until film is placed in contact with material 

containing microorganisms, such as certain types of 

waste, soil, and compost. Under these conditions, 100% 

disintegration will occur within a few weeks with no 

residual contamination of the soil.
