Sail-World.com : Product of the Week - Shrinkwrap for boats

Product of the Week - Shrinkwrap for boats

'No matter how large or small, Dr Shrink can handle it'    .
'You want to do WHAT?' The butcher didn't seem amused. He stared at the complex hunk of metal being pushed over the counter at him.

'I was hoping you could vacuum wrap my spare starter motor.'
He kept staring at the starter motor, not speaking.


'You know, like you do to the meat. Well you see, we're going to be at sea for a long time,' I felt the pleading tone in my voice now. 'and this starter motor is VERY important, so I thought if you wouldn't mind vacuum packing it with your cryovac machine... I don't mind what you charge...'

The butcher caved in, refused to charge, and the starter motor survived many years of sailing in ocean environments safely. It was a good feeling.

However, now you don't have to go pleading with the local butcher, because Dr. Shrink is on the scene.

As we all know, engines, accessories, spare parts and other metal equipment are susceptible to rust and corrosion even when well-protected. Dr. Shrink offers VCI Shrinkwrap, a volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) that is built into its shrinkwrap to further shield parts from the harmful effects of the elements.

VCI film contains chemical formulations that release an odorless, non-toxic vapor, causing corrosion inhibiting molecules to condense and form a protective layer on all exposed surfaces. Incredibly simple to apply, the plastic film just needs to be taped to an object's surface and then shrinkwrapped to provide an airtight environment.

When the metal object is uncovered, the VCI molecular layer will vaporize, leaving a clean, dry, corrosion-free item that's ready to use.

For smaller electrical and mechanical metal components, Dr. Shrink offers VCI capsules. Working the same way as the film, they are also incredibly easy to install. Users only need to peel away its adhesive backing and affix to almost any interior surface before shrinkwrapping.

Contact Dr. Shrink, by emailing drshrink [at]dr-shrink.com or go to the website

Dr Shrink is currently looking for agents for their product . If there is no Dr Shrink in YOUR region, and you are interested, this could be a new opportunity.
