Daubert Cromwell Successfully Completes Requirements for European Union REACH Registration

June, 2020 -- Daubert Cromwell, the leading manufacturer of corrosion inhibitor packaging for industry, has successfully completed all the requirements for certification with the European Union's REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) Regulation. This important distinction means Daubert Cromwell can provide multi-national customers with an uninterrupted supply of VCI papers, films and devices that meet conditions of environmental safety set by the European Chemicals Agency.

REACH requires all companies that manufacture or import chemical substances into the EU to address the potential impacts on both human health and the environment. After years of research into how best to comply with the ruling and meet the packaging requirements of metalworking markets, Daubert Cromwell chose to register substances used in a broad range of best-selling VCI products in the categories of papers, films and devices. The assigned REACH registration numbers cover popular VCI papers MasterShield® and PowerShield®, and global brands of VCI films including Premium Metal-Guard®, ClearPak® BIO and ClearPak5000.

"We made a substantial commitment of time, financial and technical resources to meet all of the requirements necessary to be REACH registered," said Daubert Cromwell President & CEO Martin J. Simpson. "Our customers cannot afford to have their shipments into the EU delayed, or rejected, because the packaging used to protect their valuable machinery is not officially registered. We want to provide customers with the quality VCI products they need, regardless of location, without worry they will be held up or penalized for non-compliance."

Daubert Cromwell's corporate and manufacturing headquarters is in the US. Subsidiaries operate in Europe, China, Mexico and Brazil All locations supply its established VCI products and brands across a wide range of metalworking markets, including automotive, heavy equipment, electronics, fabricated metal parts, military, and energy.

Corrosion Inhibitor VCI Bubble Bags Protect Metal Parts From Rust & Shipping Damage

March 2019

For Immediate Release

Alsip, IL (March, 2019) --Flexible, adhesive-top bubble bags that protect metal parts from physical damage and corrosion are new from Daubert Cromwell, the global manufacturer of VCI packaging for industry.

Premium Metal-Guard® VCI bubble bags provide cushioning and corrosion protection for highly polished, precision machined parts in storage and during transit. Bags are best for heavy metal parts and delicate components that are susceptible to damage due to vibration during shipment.  Optional peel-and-seal closure makes bags easy to use, up to 3 times faster than hand-wrapping.

Standard VCI bags are 2-layer, bubble-out construction, allowing parts to slide in easily. The corrosion inhibitor film is safe to handle, odorless, and does not affect processing or soldering.  Ideal for packaging computer equipment, electronics, and heavy components with machined surfaces that need individual wrapping to prevent marring and scuffing.

  • Air bubbles on the outside of the bag cushion the part from movement, abrasion, and rubbing against other parts in the shipping container or box.
  • Resists tears and punctures.
  • Lip and tape closure eliminates need for tape or staples.
  • Reduces labor costs and packaging time.
