Do you currently use Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging to protect metals from corrosion? Are you wondering about the best way to store VCI packaging, such as rolls of poly sheeting and VCI gusset bags, before use? Since VCI products are designed to diffuse their protective chemistry into open spaces, the key to preserving their effectiveness

When considering corrosion protection methods, plenty of options are available. The two methods most used for protecting metals during the manufacturing processes of shipment and storage are corrosion inhibitor liquids and VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) packaging products. Corrosion inhibitor liquids, also known as “Rust Preventatives” (RPs) or oils, are available in a wide range of

Often people interchange the product names VCI Shrink Film and VCI Stretch Wrap, but they are two distinct packaging films. Both Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) protection-infused films possess different mechanical properties. Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) stretch film VCI stretch film tightly bundles items such as pallets. It’s similar to plastic wrap and has a sticky quality

Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Packaging is an effective way to prevent corrosion on metals. When packed correctly, VCI packaging can protect clean metals for years in shipping and storage. Typical VCI packaging products are VCI poly sheeting, VCI bags, VCI Kraft paper, and other VCI wraps. These packaging products are used to line containers or create

Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) have been around since the 1940’s, when a product named Dichan was introduced into market. Dichan consisted of dicyclohexylamine-nitrite, which was described as a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor that had sufficient vapor pressure to release corrosion inhibiting molecules into the surrounding area. Eventually, this chemistry began to be coated onto paper,

When it comes to corrosion prevention during shipping and storage, two common methods are often discussed: Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) and desiccants. Although both aim to protect metal surfaces, their mechanisms and ideal applications differ significantly. Understanding these differences can help you choose the most effective solution based on your specific needs, environment, and duration
