VCI POLY COATED PAPER

WHAT IS CORROSION?

Corrosion is a constant, indiscriminate and costly enemy of metal parts, especially when packaged for storage and distribution. Traditional anti-corrosion methods are messy, costly and can be hazardous to personnel and the environment. Too often, they are ineffective as well.

Globally the losses every year due to corrosion are estimated to be unimaginable US$ 828 billion per annum. i.e. US$ 2.27 Billion per day. (NACE)

WHAT IS A VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor)?

VCI is a mixture of special chemicals that constantly vaporize and create gases, which have anti – corrosion properties. These vapors form a very thin protective film layer around the metal surface and prevent the metal from the corrosion action.

VCI chemicals dissociate into anions and cations with moisture as an electrolyte. These anions and cations associate with anodic and cathodic reactive areas respectively on the metal surface forming a mono-ionic protective layer, making it inert for any further reaction such as oxidation/rusting. Any loss of ions is replenished through further condensation of vapor ensuring continuous protection.

VCI Paper, or Vapour Corrosion Inhibitor paper, is a Kraft packaging paper manufactured with added VCI chemistry. VCI molecules protect metals from corrosion by forming a thin, invisible layer on the surface. This layer inhibits the corrosion process caused by oxygen, water and contaminants.

VCI Packaging can be offered in various configurations depending upon applications

VCI Poly-coated paper is one of them.

KEY FEATURES

o Specially designed VCI poly-coated paper for use in overseas export shipping
o Maintains moisture levels within to ensure it does not affect the product performance
o Durable mechanical protection to achieve full cost optimization
o Available in single/multi-colour printed options
o Controlled stiffness and a folding ability for easy wrapping

CONSTRUCTION

VCI Poly-coated paper is a high strength thin wrapper that is best suited for shipping and storage of industrial parts. It protects the contained parts from humidity, corrosion, and other natural hazards. VCI Poly-coated paper can also be made available in attractive printed forms to give identity to the reel packages.

APPLICATION

Used for packaging of metal parts for shipment /overseas export.
