GP2 BRANOfol M3 SXS (VCI anticorrosion film
shrinkable & x-tra strong)

Characteristics

BRANOfol M 3 SXS is a shrinkable, bluish, nitrite-free and extremly stretchable special-polyethylene foil, two-side active, with active VCI corrosion protection. It is waterproof and weldable. Due to its shrinking qualitities, BRANOfol SXS is the right product to secure loads during short transports. By emitting constantly a small amount of active anticorrosion substances (VCI principle: Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor), BRANOfol M3 SXS helps to protect metal parts during transport and storage. Active VCI agents effuse and build up a protecting atmosphere, which protects reliably against rust, even after having opened the package for a short time - the protecting atmosphere can be rebuild immediatly.

The distance from the foil to the metal depends on the package volume and the time permitted for a protecting atmosphere to build up. A rule of thumb: 10 cm

Range of Protection

BRANOfol M3 SXS protects steel, cast iron in contact, galvanized steel, nickel, aluminium, chromium, zinc and copper and its alloys reliably against corrosion.

Test is recommended for cadmium and magnesium and its alloys.

Duration of protection: Depending on the climate condition and closeness ofpackage, up to 12 month.

For application advice, please contact your application specialist.

Application

The packing should form a closed space so that the best possible utilisation of VCIfoil BRANOfol M3 SXS can be achieved. Water entering the packaged item is to beavoided and to be locked out.

The surfaces to be protected must be dry and free from corrosion-stimulating residues, such as finger sweat and aggressive matter of washing agent, etc. Acids orstrong bases interfere with the corrosion protection system. In case of doubt, werecommend a compatibility test to be carried out.The parts to be protected should not have any direct contact with wood or acidicmaterials. Atmospheric impurity as well as relative air humidity should be kept outof the package (e.g., no wood parts to be packed together).

If strongly oiled parts are packed, then we recommend the application of nonprin-ted film, since the printing in contact with oil can possibly be solved.
