  • Corrosion inhibition film

    Ensures long-term protection of contents from corrosion, including rust and other forms of deterioration

    This film hinders the permeation of oxygen and water vapor, safeguarding contents from rust during extended transportation and storage periods. Not only is the film transparent, facilitating easy content checks, but it is also highly effective in preventing rust. The manufacturing process doesn't require cleaning since it doesn't use vaporizable rust inhibitors or rust-preventive oils. Combining it with DNP's eco-friendly, plant-based packaging materials further enhances functionality.

    The product seamlessly integrates lamination technology, which combines multiple materials, and high-barrier technology, preventing gas permeation. DNP's transparent vapor deposition film is laminated onto the sealant film and protective layer film, heat and pressure bonded together. This transparent vapor deposition film has been a staple for decades in various fields such as electronics, medical, and healthcare.
