VCI Anti-Rust Film is a high-tech packaging material combining polymer and VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) technology. The PE resin and VCI masterbatch are co-extruded to form a film that protects metal surfaces. The VCI molecules sublimate and create an invisible protective layer, blocking moisture and oxygen.
This film offers up to 2 years of rust protection and works with various metals, including steel, iron, copper, aluminum, and their alloys.
The film provides vapor-phase and contact protection. It covers complex shapes and hard-to-reach areas effectively.
Metal items can be used immediately after unwrapping. This eliminates the need for cleaning or degreasing, saving time and labor costs.
The film resists water and moisture, making it suitable for harsh environments, including maritime transport.
VCI Anti-Rust Film is non-toxic, harmless, recyclable, and complies with international environmental directives.
The clear material allows visual inspection of items without opening the package.
The film seals easily with heat, enabling secure packages. You can also print on it for branding or handling instructions.
VCI Anti-Rust Film protects metal parts across various industries:
Applicable Metals:
Ferrous Metals: Steel, Alloy Steel, Cast Iron
Non-Ferrous Metals: Copper, Brass, Bronze, Aluminum
Surface-Treated Metals: Galvanized steel, Chromium, Cadmium, Nickel, Tin, and plated metals
Industry Applications:
Automotive: Engine parts, vehicle components
Machinery & Hardware: Bearings, valves, precision machinery, cutting tools
Electronics & Electricals: Circuit boards, micro-motors, instruments (use anti-static variants for electronics)
Heavy Equipment & Aerospace: Ship and aircraft components, large equipment
Military: Equipment packaging meeting strict standards
How does the film work?
The VCI compounds vaporize at room temperature and fill the air space. They condense to form an invisible protective layer on exposed metal surfaces, stopping corrosion.
Is it safe to touch?
Yes. The film is non-toxic and safe for skin. For best results, wear clean gloves to avoid contamination.
Can I use this film for all metals?
It covers most metals and alloys. For metals with high zinc, lead, magnesium, or certain non-ferrous metals, consult our technical team.
What is the shelf life?
12 months from manufacture if stored in sealed packaging in a cool, dry, and dark place.
Recommended film thickness?
0.10 mm (100 microns) for standard protection. Thicker films are available for heavy-duty or long-term use.
How should I package items for best protection?
Clean and dry metal items.
Wrap completely with the VCI side facing the metal.
Seal tightly using heat or tape to create a semi-enclosed environment.
Use protective caps or extra layers on sharp edges to prevent punctures.
