VCI paper

Vci anti-rust paper

VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper is a type of packaging material that is designed to protect metal components from rust and corrosion during storage and transportation. The paper is impregnated with VCI chemicals that release protective vapors, which form a molecular barrier on metal surfaces to prevent moisture, oxygen, and contaminants from causing corrosion

types of VCI Paper:

  1. VCI Kraft Paper: This is a heavy-duty, general-purpose VCI paper typically used for wrapping or lining containers with metal parts.
  2. VCI Polycoated Paper: This type combines VCI protection with poly-coating for additional moisture resistance, making it ideal for high-humidity environments or when extra physical protection is needed.
  3. VCI Crepe Paper: A flexible and more stretchable form of VCI paper, used for wrapping irregularly shaped metal parts.

Key Features of VCI Paper:

  1. Multi-Metal Protection: VCI paper can protect a wide range of metals, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals like steel, iron, aluminum, and copper, depending on the specific formulation.
  2. Environmentally Friendly: VCI paper is often made from recyclable kraft paper, which is biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it a sustainable option for packaging.
  3. Non-Toxic: VCI paper is generally safe to handle and does not contain harmful chemicals like chromates or heavy metals, making it suitable for a variety of industries.
  4. Cost-Effective: Compared to other corrosion prevention methods like oils or greases, VCI paper is a low-cost option that doesn’t require any cleaning or residue removal after unpacking.

Applications:

  • Automotive Industry: VCI paper is used for wrapping or interleaving metal parts, such as engine components, gears, and tools, during storage and shipment.
  • Machinery & Equipment: Protects machinery parts, bolts, and tools that are stored for long periods or transported in humid environments.
  • Electronics: Used to protect sensitive electronic components from corrosion, particularly in devices where metal contacts are exposed.
  • Metal Fabrication: Ideal for use in the metal fabrication industry for protecting metal sheets, coils, and stamped parts.
