The entire machine was covered with VpCI®-126 Film. Spare bearings around the facility were wrapped in VpCI®-146 Paper, while screws and other small parts were treated with VpCI®-347. Small motors and transformers were wrapped with Cor-Pak® VpCI® Stretch Film. Large ones were protected using VpCI®-379 and VpCI®-126, with VpCI®-369 sprayed on parts needing lubrication. The nuclear power company had chosen Cortec® Technology for quality and ease of application and found it so excellent they began to consider further use of the technology in their plants.
