Hammond HVPCI-170 Corrosion Inhibitor Tape

Corrosion Inhibitor Tape

• VpCI impregnated foam tape affixed via self adhesive backing.
• Each linear inch of tape provides protection for 0.4 cubic foot of enclosed space
• Size: 20'' roll x 2.0" x 0.25"
• Foam tape with adhesive backing

The VpCI®-170 patented foam tape protects the metal in enclosed spaces from corrosion. Effective in control boxes or cabinets to protect sensitive electronic components; VpCI®-170 offers low maintenance protection during operation, shipping, or storage. Not only does this unique tape provides Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor protection, but it also provides antistatic protection under military specification MIL-B-81705C.

Cortec® VpCI® products prevent corrosion through their unique Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor action. VpCIs adsorb on to metal surfaces creating a molecular layer of protection. The VpCI®-170 is effective against a variety of corrosive agents including salt, airborne contaminants, H2S, SO2, NH3, and others.

Typical Applications

• Operating, packaged, and stored electrical equipment
• Marine navigation and communication equipment
• Electrical and electronic enclosures
• Electric motors, AC, and DC
• Switching equipment; low and high voltage
• Fuse boxes and power boxes
• Electrical RF, electronic wireways, and terminal boxes
• Scientific and measuring instruments
• Telecommunications equipment
• Remote electronic devices
• All conductive leads, connectors, and terminals

Method of Application

The VpCI®-150 and VpCI®-170 is extremely simple and convenient to install. Simply select a space within any enclosed device where corrosion protection would be useful. Verify the surface the tape will be affixed is clean and free of debris. Peel off the protective peel strip from the bottom of the tape and attach it to the clean surface. The VpCI®-150 tape can be installed in any position. If the enclosure is not totally airtight, or if the access doors are opened frequently, replace the VpCI®-150 tape more often than every 2 years. After periods of heavy maintenance replace the tape. Additionally, spray the enclosure very lightly with ElectriCorr® VpCI®-238 or VpCI®-239.
