Product Characteristics
Adding to an active-, nitrite free-, quick up- as well as long term protection the new BRANOfol M4 provides excellent optical parameter because of a low light scattering.
According to TL8135-0043 level 3 (VIA-test) BRANOfol M4 guarantees a quick up VCI protection within the atmosphere. It is waterproof, weldable and suitable for automatic packaging as well as bag production. BRANOfol M4 is available from 40 to 300 μm, in different colours and also as a VCI-embossing film.
BRANOfol products continuously release small amounts of corrosion protection agents inside of the packaging (VCI: Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors), helping to provide effective protection against corrosion for metal parts during transport or storage.
The protecting atmosphere is, depending on the volume of the package, available after a short time. This holds true even after having opened the package for a short time – the protecting atmosphere will be rebuilt immediately afterwards.
Duration of Protection
Depending on climate conditions and how well the packaging is sealed, BRANOfol M4 can offer protection for up totwelve months. The duration of protection can be extended if the application, storage and transport are well known.
BRANOfol M4 - nitrite free (TRGS 615 compliant) - surpasses DIN EN ISO 6270-2 - confirm to TL8135- 0043, level 3
Protects steel, cast iron (only on contact), zinc plated steel, tin, aluminium, chromium, zinc, copper and its alloys reliably against corrosion.
※ The scope of protection can be extended if the used materials and alloys are known in detail.
