VCI Corrosion Protection Bags: The Ultimate Shield Against Rust
Protect your valuable metal assets from the devastating effects of rust and corrosion with our advanced VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) bags. Engineered for superior performance, our VCI bags provide a clean, dry, and invisible protective shield, ensuring your products arrive and remain in pristine condition, ready for immediate use.
Why Choose Our VCI Bags?
Rust costs industries billions annually in damaged goods, rework, and warranty claims. Our VCI bags offer a proactive, cost-effective solution, eliminating the need for messy oils, greases, or expensive re-cleaning processes.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Invisible & Residue-Free Protection: Our VCI molecules create a protective layer that is completely invisible and leaves no residue on your metal parts. Parts are ready for use directly out of the bag, saving time and labor.
- Multi-Metal Compatibility: Formulated to protect a wide range of metals including steel, iron, galvanized steel, copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, zinc, and more.
- Long-Term Corrosion Prevention: Provides reliable protection for up to 5 years (when properly sealed and stored) during storage, transit, or inter-process applications.
- Clean & Dry Packaging: Eliminates the need for traditional, messy rust preventative oils and greases, resulting in a cleaner work environment and easier handling of parts.
- Durable & Puncture-Resistant Film: Manufactured from high-quality, robust polyethylene, our bags offer excellent tear and puncture resistance, safeguarding your parts from physical damage as well as corrosion.
- Transparent for Easy Inspection: The clear film allows for visual inspection of contents without compromising the VCI protection or requiring the bag to be opened.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces scrap, rework, cleaning costs, and warranty claims, leading to significant savings and improved customer satisfaction.
- Environmentally Responsible: Our VCI formulations are nitrite-free, non-toxic, and recyclable, adhering to global environmental standards (RoHS, REACH compliant).
How VCI Technology Works:
Our VCI bags are impregnated with proprietary Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors. When metal parts are enclosed in the bag, these VCI molecules slowly evaporate, filling the enclosed space and forming an invisible, atomic-thin protective layer on all exposed metal surfaces. This layer effectively blocks moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive elements from reacting with the metal, preventing rust formation. When the metal is removed from the bag, the VCI molecules safely dissipate into the atmosphere, leaving a clean, rust-free surface.
Ideal Applications:
Our VCI bags are indispensable across various industries for protecting a multitude of metal items:
- Automotive Industry: Engine components, transmissions, brake parts, fasteners, stampings.
- Aerospace & Defense: Precision components, aircraft parts, weaponry, tooling.
- Electronics & Electrical: Control panels, circuit boards, connectors, sensitive instruments.
- Machinery & Heavy Equipment: Bearings, gears, shafts, hydraulic components, spare parts.
- General Metalworking: Tools, dies, fixtures, castings, forgings, fabricated metal parts.
- Storage & Shipping: Domestic and international transport, long-term warehousing of finished goods and raw materials.
Technical Specifications:
- Material: High-quality virgin low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or custom blends for enhanced strength.
- VCI Formula: Proprietary multi-metal protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Nitrite-free.
- Thickness: Available in various gauges (e.g., 2 mil, 3 mil, 4 mil, 6 mil) to suit application needs.
- Sizes: Standard stock sizes available; custom dimensions and formats (flat bags, gusseted bags, zippered bags, tubing) available upon request.
- Clarity: Transparent for easy content identification.
- Protection Duration: Up to 5 years when properly sealed and stored in appropriate conditions.
- Compliance: RoHS compliant, REACH compliant, TRGS 615 compliant (where applicable), free from heavy metals.
- Heat Sealable: Easily sealable with standard heat-sealing equipment.
Usage Instructions for Optimal Performance:
- Ensure metal parts are clean and dry before packaging.
- Place the metal part(s) into the VCI bag.
- Remove as much air as possible and seal the bag completely (e.g., using a heat sealer, tape, or tie).
- Store sealed bags in a dry, temperate environment, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.
- Avoid direct contact between VCI packaging and other materials that might inhibit VCI effectiveness (e.g., certain papers, foams, or fabrics without VCI properties).
