• Daubert Cromwell Launches World’s First 100% Biodegradable & Recyclable V (Sep 03, 2025)
  Alsip, IL — Daubert Cromwell, a global leader in Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging, proudly announces the launch of Daubert VCI Films with BioNatur® - the first and only 100% biodegradable and 100% recyclable corrosion-inhibiting films designed for real-world environmental conditions.
  
  These innovative films biodegrade over time in landfill environments, breaking down into soil, gases, and water without leaving behind microplastics. At the same time, they are fully recyclable with standard polyethylene materials, offering manufacturers a cost-effective, sustainable packaging solution that doesn’t sacrifice performance.
  
  This breakthrough represents a major step forward in sustainable packaging, offering manufacturers and shippers a high-performance, eco-conscious alternative to traditional polyethylene (PE) films, which can take hundreds of years to decompose.
  
  “We’re excited to offer a game-changing solution that supports our customers’ sustainability goals without compromising product performance,” said Martin Simpson, President & CEO at Daubert Cromwell. “With BioNatur®, we’re helping reduce the long-term environmental impact of corrosion protection packaging.”
  
  Key Benefits of Daubert VCI Films with BioNatur®

  • 100% Landfill Biodegradable: Biodegrades in landfill environments within 8–12 years.
  • No Microplastics: Biodegrades completely into soil, gases, and water.
  • 100% Recyclable: Can be recycled with other polyethylene products with no restrictions or separation required.
  • Trusted Performance: Maintains the same strength and provides the same corrosion protection as standard Daubert VCI films.
  • Landfill-Ready: Designed for real world disposal scenarios –where the vast majority of spent plastics (up to 95% and 98% of packaging waste) typically end up.
  • No Special Composting Required: Biodegrades naturally in anaerobic (oxygen-deprived) conditions that exist in a landfill, where bacteria will digest it.

  Tested, Proven, and Industry-Ready
  Thanks to proprietary BioNatur® additives, Daubert’s polyethylene films are transformed into a digestible food source for microbes found in landfills. These microbes break the plastic down completely—unlike oxo-degradable plastics, which only fragment into microplastics.
  “Side-by-side testing confirmed that our BioNatur® films deliver the same physical strength and corrosion protection as our conventional VCI films,” said Dr. Jonathan Brekan, Vice President of Technology at Daubert Cromwell. “It’s a solution that performs where it matters—on the job and in the environment.”
  
  Seamless Transition, Global Availability
  Daubert VCI Films with BioNatur® are now available worldwide and can be produced using any of Daubert Cromwell’s proprietary VCI chemistries, including industry-trusted Premium Metal-Guard® and Clear Pak® film lines.
  
  These biodegradable films are also available in recycled-content versions, such as:

  • Clear Pak® RC
  • Premium Metal-Guard® RC
    Both contain over 30% recycled material and are also fully biodegradable—providing a double win for sustainability-focused operations.

  With this launch, Daubert Cromwell empowers industries to make more environmentally responsible packaging decisions without compromising quality or effectiveness. Whether used VCI Films or bags are sent to a landfill or sent for recycling, users can be confident they are doing the right thing for the environment.
  
  “Our new biodegradable VCI films help companies meet sustainability targets with low environmental impact and high recyclability—all without sacrificing performance,” stated Martin Simpson, “We’re proud to introduce a product that is good for the environment and advances the protective packaging industry. Daubert VCI Films with BioNatur® do it all.”

• Daubert Cromwell VCI Films With Recycled Content Don’t Compromise on Corr (Sep 03, 2025)
  
  (Alsip, IL) – Two new VCI poly films with recycled content have best-in-class corrosion protection for metal parts, according to lab testing by manufacturer Daubert Cromwell. Unlike other poly packaging, testing on Daubert Cromwell VCI films proved that recycled content does not compromise corrosion inhibitor performance.
  
  Premium Metal-Guard^® RC and Clear Pak^® 5000 RC both meet EU mandates for minimum 30% recycled content and
  the UK Plastics Tax regulation. Both PMG-RC and CP5000-RC are designed specifically for use by manufacturers and suppliers that need consistent, effective, anti-corrosion packaging for export shipment, while practicing sustainability.
  
  “We deliberately designed our films to achieve both excellent physical properties and corrosion prevention performance,” explained Dr. Jonathan Brekan, Vice President Technology. “Typically, adding recycled content diminishes both. Mechanically recycled polyethylene will bring dyes, additives and other contaminates with it. These can adversely affect the performance of VCI chemistries, so careful analysis and qualification of recycled resin is critical.”
  
  “Side-by-side testing of our VCI films with and without our approved, recycled resin showed nearly identical physical strength and corrosion inhibition,” he continued. PMG-RC and CP5000-RC compared similarly in tear strength, tensile, and elongation, and most importantly in accelerated corrosion tests.
  
  CP-5000-RC is also bio-based and nitrite-free. Both films contain Daubert Cromwell’s multi-metal corrosion inhibitors that protect steel, aluminum and copper.

  
  First introduced in Europe, Daubert Cromwell is now making these films available in North America, China, Brazil, Mexico, India, and wherever customers need it.
  
  "The push for sustainable packaging is gaining significant traction beyond the EU,” Dr. Brekan said. "Our new VCI films help customers meet targets for a low-carbon footprint, recyclability, and low toxicity. We help them meet their environmental goals without sacrificing quality."
