VCI Anti-Rust Film is a high-tech packaging material that combines 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 form an invisible layer, blocking moisture and oxygen.
This film provides rust protection for up to 2 years or more and is compatible with multiple metals, including steel, iron, copper, aluminum, and their alloys.
The film provides vapor-phase and contact protection, covering complex shapes and hard-to-reach areas effectively.
Metal items can be used immediately after unwrapping. No cleaning or degreasing is needed, 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, improving handling efficiency.
The film heat-seals easily, enabling secure packages. It can also be printed for branding purposes.
VCI Anti-Rust Film protects metal parts across industries:
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 Uses:
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: Ships, aircraft components, and large equipment
Military: Equipment packaging meeting strict standards
How does the film work?
VCI compounds vaporize at room temperature, filling the air space and forming an invisible protective layer on all exposed metal surfaces.
Is it safe to touch?
Yes. The film is non-toxic and safe for skin. For optimal protection, wear clean gloves to avoid contamination.
Can I use this film for all metals?
Standard VCI film covers most metals and alloys. For high zinc, lead, magnesium, or certain non-ferrous metals, consult our technical team.
Shelf life?
The film lasts 12 months when stored in sealed packaging in a cool, dry, dark place.
Recommended thickness?
0.10 mm (100 microns) is standard. Thicker films are available for long-term or heavy-duty applications.
How to package for best protection?
Clean and dry metal items.
Wrap completely with VCI side facing the metal.
Seal tightly with heat or tape.
Use protective caps or extra layers on sharp edges to avoid punctures.
