Branofol-m4 VCI Film Manufacturer

Characteristics

Adding to an active-, nitrite free-, quick up- as well as long
term protection the new BRANOfol M4 VCI Film provides excellent
optical parameter because of a low light scattering.
According to TL8135-0043 level 3 (VIA-test) BRANOfol M4
guarantees a quick up VCI protection within the atmos-
phere. It is water-proof, weldable and suitable for automatic
packaging as well as bag production. BRANOfol M4 is avail-
able from 40 to 300 μm, in different colours and also as a
VCI-embossing film.

BRANOfol products continuously release small amounts of corrosion protection agents inside of the packa- ging (VCI: Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors), helping to provide effective protection against corrosion for metal parts during transport or storage. The protecting atmosphere is, depending on the volu- me of the package, available after a short time. This holds true even after having opened the package for a short time – the protecting atmosphere will be rebuilt immediately afterwards

Protection scope

  • BRANOfol M4 VCI Film
  • - nitrite free
    (TRGS 615 compliant)
  • - surpasses DIN EN
    ISO 6270-2
  • - confirm to TL8135-
    0043, level 3

Protects steel, cast iron (only on con-
tact), zinc plated steel, tin, aluminium,
chromium, zinc, copper and its alloys
reliably against corrosion

The scope of protection can be extended if the used materials and alloys are known in detail

 

Storage and Duration of Protection

Components packed with BRANOfol are reliably protected
against corrosion for up to twelve months. In addition, with a
detailed knowledge of the application BRANOfol is suitable
for long-term conservation > 10 years, e. g. for the final
stockpiling of series of component. Our application consult-
ants will advise you personally on the existing possibilities.

BRANOfol should be stored cool, dry and protected
from direct sunlight. In the original packaging, the storage
suitability is up to three years.
