How to Prevent Rust with VCI Packaging

Image
  As a company selling metal products, one of the last things you need is to find that rust has begun to damage their surfaces. The next stage is corrosion, which can have serious consequences for the quality of the products. If you want to prevent rust, you will need powerful rust-prevention packaging. If you’ve ever seen the effects of rust and corrosion, you’ll know they can cause frustrating problems. However, there are plenty of packaging solutions that can keep those metal surfaces in an excellent state. Check the range of recommended volatile corrosion inhibitor solutions below to prevent corrosion. VCI paper sheets are excellent rust-prevention solutions. They feature vapor corrosion inhibitors combined with kraft paper with a neutral ph. This packaging material works for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and the hard work of cutting the sheets to size has been done for you. You wrap the VCI paper sheets around each metal part or product before placing them in enclosed sh...

VCI Anti-Corrosion Kraft Paper

Image
VCI Papers are a high-quality kraft paper that is saturated with 100% Nitrite free powerful VCIs (Volatile / Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors). This provides an extremely effective method of dry corrosion protection of ferrous metals and most non-ferrous metals in hard-to-reach metal surfaces. Our VCI papers come in a variety of grades and shapes.  VCI2000® Papers are also available with barrier properties to protect against moisture and with different backings such as plain, extensible, PE-coated, OPP/PET-laminated, woven and reinforced. FEATURES & BENEFITS • Multi-metal corrosion protection for up to 24 months. • Does not affect electrical or mechanical surface properties. • Metals protected: Carbon steel, iron, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum, zinc & galvanized steel. MARKETS:   Automotive, Aviation & Aerospace, Electrical & Electronics, Export Packaging, Metal & Steel Military and Oil & Gas. PRODUCT APPLICATIONS: Steel Mills, Au...

VCI Paper

Image
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...

Stop the Corrosion Process with VCI Packaging

Image
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...
