Project description
First-of-its kind green, anti-corrosion paper for metal-based products
During transport and storage, cargo is prone to corrosion damage. According to the World Corrosion Organization, the annual cost of corroded transported goods worldwide exceeds 3 % of the world’s GDP. The EU-funded GreenCorrosionStop project plans to design a corrosion-protection paper infused with vapour corrosion inhibitors, which protects metal-based products – made from non-ferrous metals, steel or cast iron – from damage. This will be the first anti-corrosion paper that will contain no hazardous substances and no solvents other than water. The vapour corrosion inhibitor substances will form a protective shield on the surface of metallic products against temperature fluctuations and moisture.
Objective
Corrosion of transported goods causes economic damage of more than 3% of the world’s gross domestic product according to the World Corrosion Organization. During transport and storage cargo is prone to temperature fluctuations, humidity and oxygen yielding the risk of corrosion. Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) protect goods from corrosion. Nowadays VCI substances are based on hazardous amines, nitrites, benzotriazol or tolyltriazol forming nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Concurrently legal environmental protection standards and the consumer and producer awareness for a sustainable environment increase. Another disadvantage of today’s VCI-active substances is, that they have to be applied on the corrosion protection paper after the paper production instead of being incorporated during the production process. In addition for each metal class, i.e. cast iron, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, a special VCI blend is necessary. Applying the wrong paper for the product to be protected represents a deleterious corrosion surface and causes damage. Manufacturers and logistics companies aim for a reliable, sustainable and all-for-one anti-corrosion packaging paper at cost-efficient prices. Corrolytic’s innovation, the novel VCI paper COPROcell, is the first green corrosion protection paper doing without toxic substances unifying corrosion protection of all metal classes in one product. In Phase 1 Corrolytic explores the technical and commercial feasibility and compatibility of COPROcell. In the project the basis is set to bring COPROcell to the market. Focus will lie on the IP assessment and management. We intend to conduct market studies and technological improvements. Corrolytic is a pioneer in green VCI technology with outstanding technological and commercial experience and an extensive stakeholder network. The ambitious start-up developed six products in the past two years and holds several utility models.
