Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) VCIs are designed to create an invisible barrier, keeping moisture at bay and provide excellent protection for metal surfaces and can prevent corrosion for many years.

1. Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs)
Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) (sometimes referred to as vapor corrosion
inhibitors) provide excellent protection for metal surfaces and can prevent corrosion for
many years. VCIs are chemicals used directly on the product that needs to be protected.
We carry VCI papers, films, and wraps supersaturated with corrosion preventive
chemicals. These materials can be converted into VCI tubes and VCI bags of all sizes to
meet your corrosion protection needs. Just give us the dimensions, and we'll make the
bag. Here are the VCI materials we carry:
• Protect 100 VCI - conforms to MIL-PRF-131K Type I Class I
• Protect PPC VCI 30
• Protect PPC VCI 40
• Protect PPC VCI 55
VCIs are designed to create an invisible barrier, keeping moisture at bay. VCI molecules
attach themselves to metal surfaces to form an invisible, thin film only a few molecules
thick. (See the diagram to the right for an illustration of how volatile corrosion inhibitors
work.)
We also offer a range of VCI emitters that can be included with barrier packaging for
added rust protection.
