How is VCI made?

How is VCI made?

The molecules build up on the metal surface until a continuous barrier has formed on the metal part. When metals are wrapped or packaged in VCI, the chemicals volatilize in the packaging environment, forming a protective molecular layer on the surface of the metal.

What is VCI Poly?

DESCRIPTION. VCI POLY (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) bags provide effective corrosion protection to all types of metals. Simply place dry and clean metal parts inside a VCI POLY bag, fold or seal and enjoy corrosion protection free of rust, tarnish, stains, white rust and corrosion for up to 2 – 5 years.

What is VCI plastic?

Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) are a type of corrosion inhibitor that is used to protect ferrous materials and non-ferrous metals against corrosion or oxidation where it is impractical to apply surface treatments.

What is VCI packaging?

First of all, what is VCI? It stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors. These inhibitors are chemicals added to packaging materials that will prevent rust. This type of packaging contains special chemicals that are scientifically designed to release rust-inhibiting molecules.

Is VCI toxic?

Are VCI products safe to use? VCI emitters contain chemicals that are not known to be hazardous, toxic, or flammable. In fact, the emitter chemicals have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used with food and beverage containers.

Is VCI paper safe?

When applied in protective packaging products – paper, shrink wrap, paint coatings, desiccants, etc. – VCI compound concentrations typically do not contain a high enough dosage to cause serious harm.

Why is VCI film a great VCI material?

VCI Poly Advantages: 1) VCI Poly film provides a superior moisture barrier compared to VCI Paper. Poly film lowers the water vapor transmission rate of the packaging and prevents even normal levels of moisture from seeping through the package and causing corrosion. 2) VCI Poly offers ease of use.

How does VCI film work?

How does VCI work? When you wrap or enclose a metal part in an ARMOR VCI product, VCI vapors are released and they attach themselves to the surface of metal to form a nano-sized layer of protection that repels water, moisture and other contaminates that cause corrosion.

What is VCI paper?

VCI paper (we call it ARMOR WRAP® VCI paper) is a clean, dry packaging material designed for the protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The VCI ions form a shield of protection on the surface of metal that displaces moisture and repels rust.

How long does VCI paper last?

How long will VCI paper protect my parts in a sealed bag? If the paper used to package a part and is properly sealed in a Mylar (or other plastic) bag, the paper will remain active inside the packaging for at least 24 months.

Do VCI emitters work?

A VCI emitter works in the same simple way that VCI paper products work. When metals are wrapped or packaged, the chemicals volatilize in the packaging environment and form a protective molecular layer on the surface of the metal.

How do you store VCI papers?

When not in use, the paper should be stored inside the box which may be taped or otherwise kept closed. This is sufficient to protect the VpCI material and maintain the paper throughout its 2 year shelf life. It is acceptable to store the paper in a sealed plastic bag if the original packaging becomes compromised.
