Sažetak

This paper describes results of experiment carried out on the VpCI-126 polyethylene inhibitor film with the aim to examine its mechanical properties. Test samples of the film were measured to determine the thickness, and then subjected to tear, fracture and puncture in order to examine mechanical properties that justify the wide application of this film in surface protection of materials. Volatile corrosion inhibitors, like the tested polyethylene inhibitor films, form a stable and reliable hydrophobic layer on the surface of the material, which prevents development of electrochemical corrosion mechanism. Results obtained in this experiment confirm very good mechanical properties of the tested film, thus justifying wide application of inhibitor films.
