As modern military operations demand equipment that’s ready for immediate deployment, corrosion prevention has become more critical than ever. Addressing these challenges, Cortec® Corporation—an industry leader in environmentally responsible corrosion solutions—offers its proven VpCI® (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) technology to safeguard military equipment during production, transit, and long-term storage. Corrosion poses serious risks to o perational readiness, safety, and budgets. It can lead to critical equipment failures, costly repairs, and safety hazards. Studies indicate that effective corrosion prevention can reduce lifecycle costs of military assets by up to 30%. Cortec’s VpCI® solutions not only protect multi-metal surfaces but also align with global military efforts toward greater environmental sustainability. “Our mission is to support the military sector with advanced, sustainable corrosion protection solutions that keep equipment combat-ready and reduce maintenance burdens,” said Boris Miksic, CEO of Cortec® Corporation. “We collaborate with defense organisations worldwide to ensure their assets remain secure, effective, and environmentally protected.” Cortec® provides a full range of VpCI® technologies designed to meet the unique needs of military equipment in extreme environments: • VpCI® Packaging: Recyclable films, papers, bags, and foams that release corrosion inhibitors, protecting enclosed components during transport and storage. • VpCI® Liquids and Coatings: Water- and oil-based coatings for long-term metal protection in harsh conditions—ideal for vehicles, weapons systems, and infrastructure. • VpCI® Powders and Emitters: Shield electronic assemblies and hard-to-reach voids, maintaining performance from assembly to field operation. • Surface Prep & Cleaners: Eco-friendly rust removers like the EcoClean® Biodegradable Scale and Rust Remover, which prepare surfaces for long-term protection. Cortec®’s specialised solutions have been implemented globally by military organisations and meet stringent U.S. and NATO standards. From vehicles, weaponry, and communications systems to aerospace and naval assets, Cortec’s VpCI® technology plays a critical role in extending service life and ensuring mission readiness.
