August 2009.- Concord Supply, Inc. received the patent pending rights for it's new product corrugated plastic ring for the protection of the inside diameter of steel coils against crane hook impacts, unique in it's kind and capable of resisting pressure, compresion and puntures therefore protecting the coil sides.
January 2009.- After a large investment Concord started operations of it's new extrusion coating and laminating line with the capacity of producing rolls up to 154" wide being one of the widest extrusion coating and laminating lines in the world. This new line is allowing Concord to produce a very wide range of products with up to three different substrates in the same run.
January 2008.- Concord Packaging de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. inagurated it's new and modern production line to fabricate plastic ID's and OD's protectors for the steel industry as well as edge protectors.
The Problem Corrosion is a naturally occurring electrochemical process. The presence of a tiny amount of electrolyte on an unprotected metal surface can cause electrons to flow from a higher energy area (anode) to a lower energy area (cathode) initiating and sustaining corrosion. Microscopic droplets of water that are present in the air at 70-85% relative humidity most commonly serve as the electrolyte.
Our Solution The presence of a microscopic layer of VCI on the surface of the metal inhibits the flow of electrons from anode to cathode thus preventing the corrosion process. VCIs or Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors are safe, specialized compounds that automatically release protective particles into the area around the packaged metal surface. These particles attach themselves to the metal surface and create a very thin protective layer (usually about 1 molecule in thickness). The term "Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor" is a bit misleading: VCIs are only volatile in the sense that they vaporize or release protective particles at the proper rate.
