Storage and transport of non-treated metals can lead to corrosion. Corrosion is the result of oxidation or aggressive elements in the air. Traditionally, materials have been protected against corrosion by means of oil, grease or paint, which can be time and labor intensive and not environmentally friendly.

VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) technology has been designed to protect untreated metal against corrosion/oxidation.

VCI creates an invisible molecular protection layer on the metal. The chemicals found in the corrosion inhibitor evaporate from the different products (PE film, PUR foam, paper, tablets etc) to saturate the closed environment. Once the environment around the metal is saturated, a thin molecular protection layer is formed on the metal, inhibiting corrosion. Moisture or impurities in the direct air around the metal can no longer influence metal to corrode.

VCI technology is incorporated in various materials:

  • DesiccantsPolyethylene film
  • Foam pieces
  • Paper and corrugated
  • Powder and tablets
  • Liquids (oil-based, water-based, Soya-based)
  • Emitters
  • Laminated products

 

Benefits of VCI products:

  • Corrosion EmittersMulti metal corrosion protection: metals are completely protected
  • Maintains effective protection against corrosion for a minimum of 2 years .
  • VCI can be used for storage and long distance transport purposes
  • Many different products and solutions are available and can be combined to create a total solution for corrosion protection
  • Protects complex machinery with difficult to reach areas
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Approved by NATO and other global organizations 
  • Some products are even FDA approved
  • Will not affect the metal or leave a coating: after unpacking the VCI layer simply evaporates in the air.
  • Can be opened and re-closed without affecting the VCI functionality
  • No extra handling after use (the VCI layer disappears once the active VCI source around the metal is taken away)
