BENZ Packaging has introduced a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled polyethylene across its BENZPACK® vapour corrosion inhibitor (VCI) film range. The films protect metal parts, machinery and automotive components from corrosion during storage and transport.
BFSV Verpackungsinstitut Hamburg independently tested a film sample containing 30% post-consumer recycled polyethylene under TL 8135-0043. The sample achieved Grade 3, the highest corrosion-protection grade under that test method.
Recycled polyethylene can vary from batch to batch in how it flows during processing and what residues it carries from its previous use. Both can affect how evenly the corrosion inhibitor disperses in the film. To address that variability, the BENZ Packaging R&D team introduced checks on incoming resin and adjusted how the inhibitor is mixed into the polymer.
BENZ Packaging is based in IMT Manesar, Gurugram, India, and supplies corrosion protection, moisture control and industrial export packaging for machinery and metal components.
