VCI’s (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) and VpCI®’s (Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor) protect metals through direct contact and vapor-phase action to create a physical barrier between the metal or metals and the surrounding environment. The VpCI® vaporizes into the environment and then when it meets the metal(s) it adsorbs (sticks) to surface creating a protective layer, dramatically reducing corrosion. VpCI® are supplied in multiple forms from powders and liquids, to lining on protective films, bags and papers.
VCI technology has many advantages. It typically does not require the special removal of a coating or greasy rust preventatives reducing labor time and hazardous waste disposal costs, they protect intricate equipment internals, they do not require a constant source of electricity and they protect multiple metal types. VCI products work together to save time and money and offer more thorough, reliable, and easier-to-use protection than a variety of other metals preservation strategies.
