EcoCortec has received industrial composability certification of its Eco-Corr Film. The film is the first biodegradable and compostable packaging film that provides contact, barrier and vapor-phase corrosion inhibition, the company says. EcoCortec received the ‘OK compost IN-DUSTRIAL’ certificate from TÜV Austria. This certifies that Eco-Corr, biodegradable, VpCI film, conforms to the criteria for industrial composability under EN 13432 (European equivalent of ASTM D6400). The film will disintegrate into carbon dioxide and water within 2-3 months in a composting environment.
Eco-Corr Film is shelf stable and will not break down prematurely until disposed in a proper composting environment. Metal parts packaged in Eco-Corr Film receive continuous protection against salt, excessive humidity, condensation, moisture, aggressive industrial atmospheres, and dissimilar metal corrosion.
