TECHNOLOGY & SUSTAINABILITY
SanLucar’ DREAMS, a sustainable reality
BioPad®,
aB'green' packaging solution
ioPad® is a unique “green” technology flexible cor-
rosion inhibiting device constructed from biobased non-woven material, providing a sustainable packaging option for corrosion inhibition. Its high VpCI® concen- tration, in combination with a thin design, results in ma- terial reduction by up to 94% in comparison to similar polyurethane foam emitting devices. This powerful USDA Certified Biobased Product provides up to two times as much corrosion inhibiting action as its conventional VCI counterpart. BioPad® is cost-effective, adaptable, and ea- sily applied. Simply placing it into your package will allow metal items to be protected while leaving them ready for use. BioPad® is excellent for protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as various alloys: galvanized and carbon steels, copper, brass, aluminum, zinc, etc. It is free of nitrites and chromates.
BioPad® conforms to NACE Standards TM0208-2008 and RP0487-2000, as well as MIL-I-22110C. It has been tested by a certified laboratory in accordance with ASTM D-1748 (Humidity Test) and ASTM D 1735 with excellent results. On March 6th, 2020, BioPad® became a USDA Certified Biobased Product and is now able to display a unique USDA label that highlights its percentage of bio- based content.
