VCI films combine the benefit of barrier packaging with anti-corrosion protection in an easy-to-use form allowing for safe, clean, easy, and dry packaging of metal products.

Benefits

• Avoid using messy oil or grease when shipping metal parts.
• Multi-metal protection for ferrous, non-ferrous, and combination metals.
• Corrosion inhibitor is embedded in durable polyethylene film.
• Open-ended bags protect metal parts from rust.
• Odorless and non-toxic. Heat sealable with Poly Bag Sealers.

How VCI is made

VCI Bag, or Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor bag, is a poly packaging film converted to a bag that is manufactured with added VCI chemistry.

VCI film can be manufactured in many forms including rolls, sheets, bags, tubing, and shrink film and it is an easy-to-use, clean, and dry packaging option for metal/metal parts.

How VCI works

VCI molecules protect metals from corrosion by forming a thin, invisible layer on the surface.

This layer inhibits the corrosion process caused by oxygen, water, and contaminants. A Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor bag can be made in different sizes, weights, seals, and inhibitor types.

VCI film protects metal from rust and corrosion in two ways — it serves as a physical barrier against moisture, dust, or contaminants, and as a rust-eradicating corrosion inhibitor.

Features

• VCI films are transparent,
• heat sealable,
• environmentally friendly and
• recyclable.

Application

Once the metal is enclosed or wrapped in VCIs, it activates to form a corrosion-inhibiting shield on the surface of the metal to repel rust.
