Corrosion is a commonly overlooked silent threat to your enclosed electrical and electronic systems. Even in sealed cabinets, moisture and airborne contaminants can creep in, attacking sensitive circuits and contacts. Left unchecked, this can lead to failures that lead to downtime and expensive repairs.
Introducing Cortec® VpCI®-111, an advanced corrosion-inhibiting emitter designed specifically to protect metals inside enclosed spaces. This compact device releases Vapour phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI®) that migrate throughout the enclosure, forming an invisible molecular layer on metal surfaces. The result: long-lasting protection against rust, oxidation, and degradation, without interfering with any electrical or mechanical components.
How It Works
Each VpCI®-111 unit protects up to 11 cubic feet (0.31 m³) of enclosed space. Once placed inside an enclosure, the device begins emitting protective vapours that settle on exposed metal surfaces. These inhibitive vapours fill the space, ensuring comprehensive protection in hard-to-reach areas without the need for messy sprays or frequent reapplication.
Real-World Applications
Because of its efficiency and ease of use, Cortec’s VpCI®-111 has become a go-to solution for industries where sensitive systems must be placed in harsh and corrosive environments. Common applications include:
- Electrical Control Panels and Junction Boxes – Prevents rust and oxidation on relays, switches, and contact points that may compromise the device’s reliability.
- Marine & Offshore Equipment – Shields navigation systems, winch controls, and onboard electronics from salt-laden atmospheres.
- Telecommunications – Extends the service life of outdoor telecom routers and power supplies.
- Transportation and Heavy Equipment – Protects locomotive control boxes, crane electrical systems, and mining machinery enclosures against wear and failure.
- Aerospace and Defence – Keeps avionics systems mission-ready in demanding climates.
- Power Generators – Safeguards key electrical components from condensation and contaminants.
- Process Industries – Ideal for chemical plants, refineries, and water treatment facilities where electrical enclosures face corrosive vapours.
- Backup and Emergency Systems – Maintains the integrity of generators, pumps, and safety-critical control units that may sit idle for months before being needed.
Smarter Protection, Less Hassle
Unlike traditional desiccants or contact coatings, VpCI®-111 doesn’t just absorb moisture or require direct application onto your devices. It creates a clean, invisible barrier that works continuously, saving your workers precious maintenance time while ensuring your devices’ safety. Installation is as simple as peeling and sticking the device within the enclosure.
Whether you’re protecting offshore assets, ensuring telecom uptime, or safeguarding industrial control systems, VpCI®-111 delivers proven protection that reduces downtime and extends equipment life.
