How VCI Products Work?

VCI is an abbreviation for “Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor”. When metals are wrapped or packaging in VCI products, the chemical volatilize in the packaging environment and form a protective molecule layer on the surface of the metal. This protective layer prevent moisture, salt, dirt, oxygen and other materials from depositing on the metal and causing corrosion.

VCI Chips

 

CANTRUST VCI® VCI CHIP

VCI Chip is a synthetic fiber treated with our VCI chemicals to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion.

Product Features

VCI Chips provide targeted corrosion protection in hard-to-reach enclosed spaces or can be used as added protection to VCI packaging products.
VCI Chips emit powerful corrosion inhibiting molecules into an enclosure that settle on metal surfaces and protect them from corrosion.

Product Features

  • Non-nitrite and eco-friendly
  • Protects ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion
  • Accelerated initial anti-corrosion effect
  • Replaces smaller sized VCI Powder Packs
  • Much more economical than VCI Powder Packs
  • Reduces manufacturing overhead costs

Packaging Design Considerations

Packaging Design Criteria

Type of metals in need of protection

• Length of protection required
• Domestic or export
• Climate conditions
• Size and weight of product
• Value of the product
• Current packaging requirements
• Handling
• Automatic or manual
• Chemical or oil residue on the metal
• Processing and cleaning methods
• Packing station location relative to other
processes

Coverage

1 square surface area of paper / film for every 3 square surface area of metal  Or
1 square surface area of paper / film for every 1 cubic 1 area being protected

  • VCI works well through water and humidity.
  • An excellent compliment to R-P oils.

Example: Brake Discs or Clutch Plate Bulk Packaging

Example: Packaging large stampings

Example: Electric Motor Housings and Assemblies

Protection for bulk packaging small parts

Protection during shipping and storage

pd009

Crating material (especially wood and corrugated) is often the source of contaminants causing corrosion. VCI film as a barrier between it and the metal is recommended.

Desiccant pouch provides passive and poor corrosion protection in harsh packing and shipping conditions. VCI paper, with its active corrosion protection, is superior to the passive protection provided by desiccants such as silica gel.

Protecting high value assets shipping overseas

1. Place barrier material and VCI film over pallet

2. Place engine on pallet, barrier material and VCI Poly

3. Add VCI Emitters and seal VCI Poly

4. Heat seal barrier material

Protecting wheels stacked on pallet : Use VCI Poly and Paper

 

Poly Outer Wrap

Option #1 : Premium Metal-Guard or Clear Pak® stretch film protects against corrosion and oxidation inside; provides a barrier against outside contamination and moisture.
Option #2 : PremiumMetal-Guard or FerroFilm bag cover (shroud) pallet provides additional protection over the VCI stretch.

Protecting Individually Wrapped Small Parts (Stacked)

Export Packing of CKD motorcycles in India

A shroud of Uniwrap MPI VCI paper protects metal and plated surfaces. The VCI formula is compatible with all synthetic components.

Uniwrap MPI at the base of the package provides VCI protection for the KD components attached to the pallet.
