masterbatch for rust prevention

polymer additive masterbatch

Corrosion Inhibitor Masterbatch is a concentrated formulation that contains Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) compounds, blended with a polymer resin base. This masterbatch is used in the production of plastic films, bags, and other packaging materials that are designed to protect metal objects from rust and corrosion

How it Works:

The VCI masterbatch is mixed with standard plastic resins during the plastic extrusion process. When the plastic product is manufactured (such as a film or bag), it contains the VCI compounds. Once metal parts are enclosed in this packaging, the VCI vapors are slowly released, forming an invisible protective layer on the metal surface, preventing rust and corrosion.

Key Features of Corrosion Inhibitor Masterbatch:

  1. VCI Compound: The masterbatch contains VCI chemicals that slowly release into the environment, forming a protective layer on the surface of metal objects, preventing corrosion.
  2. Blended with Polymer: The corrosion inhibitor is embedded into a plastic resin, such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), which can be processed into various packaging formats.
  3. Customizable: The masterbatch can be tailored for different metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), corrosion protection levels, and specific application needs.
  4. Easy Processing: It is designed to be easily mixed with standard plastic resins during the manufacturing process, ensuring that the final plastic product incorporates corrosion protection properties.

Applications:

  1. VCI Film Production: Used to manufacture corrosion-inhibiting films that can be used for wrapping, interleaving, or bagging metal parts.
  2. VCI Bags: The masterbatch is used to create plastic bags designed to protect metal components during storage or shipment.
  3. Shrink Wrap: Corrosion inhibitor masterbatch can be used to produce VCI shrink wrap for large machinery and equipment.
  4. Stretch Film: VCI stretch films produced with this masterbatch are commonly used in industrial packaging applications to protect metal products.
  5. Molded Plastic Products: It can be used to make rigid or semi-rigid plastic products, such as containers or trays, that protect metal parts from corrosion during handling and storage.
