What is VCI foil?

The term VCI (Volatile Chemical Inhibitors) stands for the volatile substances having a characteristic sublimation directly from the solid state to gas. These molecular substances create a protective film that protects against corrosion on metal surfaces.

What is VCI coating?

Volatile Corrosion. Inhibitor Coatings. MICHAEL PRENOSIL. Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) are organic materials that protect metals against corrosion by emitting vapors. This study shows that VCIs, combined with sulfonates (contact corrosion inhibitors), can retard corrosion in several different coating systems.

What does VCI stand for corrosion?

vapor corrosion inhibitor technology
VCI stands for vapor corrosion inhibitor technology and in a nutshell, it’s the “secret sauce” we infuse into our products — primarily packaging materials like paper or poly film — to fight off the unwanted advances of rust.

What is a VCI check?

RMI now has VCI – a Virtual check-in process; prior to your arrival, you will be pre-checked and pre-registered. No longer are you sitting in a waiting room: When you arrive, you remain in the safety of your vehicle until the tech is ready for you.

What is VCI made of?

Zerust® ICT®520-SRA VCI Plastic Scrim ICT®520-SRA VCI is a durable polyethylene fabric film that contains woven strands for strength and tear resistance that prevents corrosion and damage in shipping and storage.

Is VCI paper safe?

VCI Anticorrosion Anticorrosive VCI products used in the packaging are not dangerous for the health of people because VCI is a physiologically inactive substance. Any problem of eye or skin irritation have been found in people that directly worked with packagings treated with VCI.

Do VCI bags work?

A VCI works by building up an effective concentration of vapours in an enclosed space. The vapours react with metal surfaces at a molecular level, preventing corrosion from starting. Providing the space remains closed, capped or sealed, the VCI remains effective indefinitely.

What is the full form of VCI?

The term “VCI” stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor. Corrosion inhibitor compounds vaporize from the paper or film. They are attracted to the charged surface of the metal by virtue of their polar orientation.

Is VCI toxic?

Anticorrosive VCI products used in the packaging are not dangerous for the health of people because VCI is a physiologically inactive substance. Any problem of eye or skin irritation have been found in people that directly worked with packagings treated with VCI.

What is VCI paper made of?

Made from high quality neutral natural kraft paper, these paper products do not contain fluorochemicals, nitrites, phosphates, silicones, chromates, or other heavy metals. Cortec® VCI papers are effective against aggressive environments including humidity, SO2, and H2S.

How long do VCI bags last?

Typical service life is up to three (3) years and even longer in some cases. When the VCI packaging is later removed, all vapor corrosion inhibiting molecules rapidly evaporate. This leaves the metal parts clean and ready for immediate use.
