Why VCI?
In todays competitive global marketplace, your metal products must travel thousands of miles
through aggressive atmospheres, extreme humidity, high temperature swings and extended storage
before your customers even see them. Despite the exposure to these harsh conditions, your customers
still insist that their orders are ready when required, at the agreed upon price and in the condition
specified: clean, dry and corrosion free.
Corrosion Protection - Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors
Corrosion is generally initiated when atmospheric moisture - humidity settles on metals. This
moisture will act as a conductor enabling the flow of electrons between the high-energy areas
cathodes and low energy areas anodes on metal surfaces. This electrochemical process
then results in the visible oxidation referred to as tarnish, corrosion or rust.
Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor commonly referred to as VCI protects metal surfaces from attack by
moistures, salty air, airborne acids and contaminants. VCI packaging materials contain proprietary
chemical formulations that release an invisible, odorless and non-toxic corrosion inhibiting vapor
into the air. The vapor molecules will settle on exposed metal surfaces in an enclosure and interrupt
the electrochemical corrosion process.
