• Size: 3.0"x1.25"x0.25"
• Sold in carton of 50 pads

VpCI®-101 devices are designed to provide corrosion protection for metal components and parts enclosed in non-ventilated control boxes, cabinets, or toolboxes. A VpCI®-101 device protects up to 1 cubic foot (28 liters) in volume. VpCI®-101 is a small patented device from which Vapor phase = Corrosion Inhibitors are slowly released. The corrosion inhibitors emit vapors that form a molecular layer on metal surfaces to protect critical, complex, and expensive electronic equipment and other metal components during operations, shipping, or storage. VpCI®-101 provides longterm protection against corrosion even in the presence of adverse conditions including salt, moisture, airborne contaminants, H2S, SO2, NH3, and others.

Typical Applications

• Operating, packaged, and stored electrical equipment
• Marine navigation and communication equipment
• Aerospace electrical controls
• Electric motors
• Switching equipment
• Fuse boxes and power boxes
• Medical equipment
• Electrical wireways and terminal boxes
• Scientific and measuring instruments
• Telecommunications equipment and remote electronic devices
• Hand-held battery-operated devices
• Tool boxes, parts storage, and other containers holding metals

Method of Application

VpCI®-101 devices are extremely simple and convenient to install. The devices should be installed at the earliest possible time, preferably during manufacturing or assembly. Simply select a space within any enclosure where corrosion protection would be useful. Verify the surface where the device will be affixed is clean and free of debris. Peel off the protective peel strip from the bottom of the device and attach it to the clean surface. VpCI®-101 devices can be installed in any position. For volumes, greater than 1 cubic foot (28 liters) use more than one device. If the enclosure is not totally airtight, or if the access doors are opened frequently, replace the VpCI®-101 device more often than every 2 years. After periods of heavy maintenance replace the device. For additional protection spray the enclosure very lightly with Cortec® ElectriCorr® VpCI®-238 or VpCI®-239.
