Precut sheets of CorShield VpCI-146 paper are great for small items that need to be individually wrapped. Rust prevention is a must-have for manufacturers and distributors of metal goods. Unpredictable shipping conditions paired with corrosion-susceptible metals create a recipe for disaster if no precautions are taken.

Abrasive waterjet cutting requires a sand supply line and a cutting surface with metal slats. Waterjet cutting uses a highly pressurized stream of water to fabricate parts from more than just metal materials. Applications include ballistic panels for military vehicles, titanium parts for airplanes, and dies made of tool steel.
