Some products need corrosion protection. This can be because of the international transport, extended storing time or the materials used. These types of packaging solutions effectively prevent against corrosion without having to treat the metal with oil, grease or paint.
We focus on using the least amount of materials to reach optimal performance. Have products made from recycled materials, achieving 70 to 90% CO2 reduction. And even use additives that have a safe plant base.
Preventing corrosion damage can of course reduce damaged goods. But also when the wrong kind of corrosion protection is applied it is possible to find alternatives that need less handling or materials. We evaluate and proof this through testing in our testlabs.
In many cases corrosion protection is done with additives. We know which additives to use and to avoid, this is key to prevent health and safety issues at customers but also for the workers using these products. We advise and control this for our customers.
Corrosion is a significant problem in the handling, storage and shipping of products. All metals can corrode in the right conditions, temperature changes, contaminated air, sea salt and moisture. Products in overseas transit go through a complex process of loading, unloading, manipulation, warehousing and control. With so many parameters to influence the metal, the utmost care is needed for a corrosion-free arrival.
Nefab has provided corrosion protection solutions for many industries over the years. Through our competence and global network, we can provide a customized solution anywhere in the world, giving customers the ability to dispatch products worldwide while minimizing corrosion related damages.
There are several different solutions for protecting the product from corrosion depending on parameters such as: product type, means of transportation, and the length of transit time.
In some applications when products are not too sensitive to corrosion, when protection is only required for very short storage or when the level of humidity in the environment is low, this combination may offer enough corrosion protection.
Aluminium barrier foil has a considerably lower water vapour transmission rate than bags made of LDPE or HDPE and reduces the required amount of desiccants.
VCI is an additive that can be added to most common packaging materials. Once exposed to the air, the additive vaporizes in the air and deposits itself as a thin layer on metal surfaces, preventing humidity from reacting with the metal.
Nefab offers engineered solutions. We provide all the components required to create your complete packaging solution. The final solution is different for each and every customer, but the end result is always the same – an optimized packaging solution that reduces total cost and environmental impact
