  Rust and corrosion can be expensive, challenging problems for businesses that ship metal parts or products. Once corrosion sets in, metal surfaces not only lose their shiny, pristine look, but they also lose their structural integrity and can weaken significantly. Why is Rust Prevention Packaging Important?   Rust prevention packaging is important for a couple of reasons. Simply put, it is a rust mitigator. It minimizes the chances of moisture or humidity entering the packaging and causing rust on your metal components or products.   In doing so, this packaging supports the product’s aesthetic look and quality. It enhances customer satisfaction and ensures corrosion does not lead to expensive repair requirements. You now know that metal products often require VCI packaging to remain rust-free. It is also the case that several industries frequently need VCI packaging and use them extensively. Here are three examples of industries that use this solution. Electronics...

Designed to protect against rust and tarnish primarily of ferrous metals, VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper will assist in the long-term protection of steel, cast iron, copper, brass (with Zn content up to 20%), bronze in both transit and storage. Simply store or ship the parts wrapped in  Quick Pak’s VCI paper and they will stay dry, clean and rust-free. Due to the design of this advanced product, it protects without leaving a greasy or waxy residue, meaning that the goods can be used immediately without any cleaning procedures. This paper slows the process of corrosion, it cannot remove any corrosion that has already formed before wrapping. VCI paper is commonly used for the protection of metal parts in engineering, engines, drills and large iron items such as gates and railings. The paper can be treated as normal paper waste and is recyclable. We also recommend that if storing goods, they are to be re-wrapped after two years to extend the period of pr...

Metal parts have the potential to corrode at any stage of the manufacturing, storage or transport process. If corrosion is caught early, the metal part won’t incur damage, but any amount of corrosion causes headaches for your company and your customers. When shipping and storing metal parts, corrosion control is essential. Your company needs the proven rust-prevention methods of VCI packaging to ensure that customers receive pristine parts. Your image and bottom line are at stake. The Science Behind VCI: Understanding how corrosion occurs helps companies control it and deliver pristine parts to satisfied customers (i.e., customers looking to order more parts). The corrosion reaction between metals and oxygen is immediate and continuous unless the corrosion cell perpetuating the reaction is stopped. Corrosion on metal is a result of oxidation – a molecular, destructive reaction between oxygen and a  metal’s surface. While oxidation does not weaken me...
