Complete protection for the steel industry
The steel industry faces critical daily challenges in the protection of steel, coils and sheet metal during transport and storage. Coil corrosion represents one of the main causes of economic losses, accelerated by environmental humidity and variable climatic conditions. Our integrated systems combine cutting-edge technologies to offer total protection that preserves the quality and integrity of metal materials, from production to final delivery. Our solutions range from humidity control with specific desiccants such as Propasec and Propasil, to advanced anti-corrosive protection with VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) technology thanks to ultra-resistant films like Propasteel VCI, which also provide a physical barrier against atmospheric agents. For safe coil handling, we offer impact protection systems such as Propaflex and Propafix, essential in case of mechanical stress and impacts.
VCI anticorrosion for steel and coils
PROPATECH VCI technology has revolutionized anti-corrosive protection of steel by completely eliminating the need for traditional oils and greases. Our co-extruded VCI films, Propaskin VCI and Propasteel VCI integrate the volatile inhibitor directly into the plastic mass, creating uniform protection even in the most difficult-to-reach areas. This technology is particularly effective for steel coil protection during transport and long storage periods.
PROPATECH VCI Stretch represents, instead, an innovative solution for direct wrapping of steel coils, bars and tubes, replacing old oiling systems with a protective "second skin" that adheres perfectly even to sharp edges.
Humidity control for steel materials
Humidity represents the main issue for steel corrosion, making intervention with targeted products essential. Our desiccants Propasec and Propasil effectively reduce the dew point, preventing the formation of condensation that accelerates oxidative processes.
For maritime containers containing coils, the Propadry Plus system neutralizes condensation formation by transforming captured humidity into gelled water that remains retained even under mechanical stress.
Safe handling and impact protection
Coil handling requires special attention to prevent deformations, scratches and structural damage that would compromise the workability of the steel. Propaflex offers optimal protection thanks to its smooth internal surface that adheres perfectly to cylindrical shapes and its corrugated external surface resistant to violent impacts.
Propafix is a self-sizing corner protector that adapts perfectly to different diameters, eliminating the need to maintain multiple sizes in stock, and offers important protection to the edges of the sheet metal.
