A literature explaining the cost saving advantages of the new RustBan 105, a VCI treatment for primary packaging of ferrous parts is available. Rust-Ban is applied directly to corrugated, solid fiber, and other forms of paper-board packaging during the converting process, eliminating the material and handling costs associated with placing corrodible products into VCI bags or wrapping them with VCI-treated paper prior to insertion into a box or other package. With treatment, metal products can be placed into the primary package for storage and shipment. The packaging will protect against corrosion whether it is in direct contact with the contents. Lab testing has shown RustBan-treated corrugated packaging effective and flexible. The product is nitrite-free and fully re-pulpable. Its service life is up to two years under normal storage conditions. Partitions, slipsheets, and specialty paper-board products can be produced with the treatment applied to both sides. Treated materials are gluable with a variety of coldset and hotmelt adhesives. It can be applied with blade or rod coaters, either inline while corrugated board is manufactured or offline to liner board, which will be later converted into a VCI container. The packaging is ideal for the shipment of automotive parts, appliances, electronic components, gearing, machine tool components and tooling, agricultural, military, and marine equipment, or for the shipment of corrodible metal parts of any kind. The packaging is suited for overseas shipment.
