Product type
VCI packaging, or Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor packaging, is designed to protect metal products from corrosion during storage and transportation. It is typically made from plastic films or paper that are infused with corrosion-inhibiting chemicals. These chemicals vaporize and form a protective layer on the surface of the metal, preventing moisture and other corrosive elements from causing damage. VCI packaging is widely used in various industries to ensure the longevity and integrity of metal components.
| Material | Polyethylene, paper, or composite materials |
| Thickness range | 50 to 200 microns |
| Corrosion protection duration | 6 months to 2 years |
| Temperature resistance | Up to 80°C |
| VCI type | Water-soluble or oil-soluble |
When selecting VCI packaging, consider the type of metal being protected and the environmental conditions it will be exposed to. Specify the required thickness, duration of corrosion protection, and any specific VCI type needed for your application. It's also important to communicate the quantities needed, as bulk orders may offer cost savings. Certifications for environmental compliance may also be relevant depending on your industry requirements.
