In independent testing, Daubert Cromwell’s most popular VCI products were proven to be free of hazardous substances. They comply with the European Union Directive on Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), which forbids or restricts use of certain substances in new electrical and electronic equipment.

Daubert Cromwell submitted 12 of the electronic industry’s most popular corrosion inhibitor packaging choices to an independent laboratory for testing:

• 5 types of VCI and anti-tarnish papers,
• 4 types of VCI and anti-tarnish poly films,
• 3 types of VCI emitter devices

Results prove that none contain any of the hazardous substances listed in the RoHS Directive, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

Electronics manufacturers and their packaging distributors are under pressure to find packaging solutions that meet stricter anti-corrosion and anti-tarnish requirements. Daubert Cromwell’s RoHS-compliant packaging can help meet those challenges with proven and safe VCI technology.
