VCI Barrier Bags

VCI barrier bags are the most common rust prevention solution for export shipments.

Most products that we foil seal are of high value, heavy machinery, electronic components that are sensitive to corrosion.

VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) packaging works by emitting invisible, odourless molecules that settle on exposed metal surfaces and form a protective molecular barrier against rust. When the VCI Foil Bag packaging is removed, the VCI layer evaporates cleanly — leaving metal surfaces dry, clean and corrosion-free. Our staff have the experience and know how, to properly size and seal the VCI aluminium barrier foil around your sensitive products.

VCI Foil & Barrier Bags FAQ

Get answers to common questions about VCI Foil and VCI Foil Barrier Bags.  Below you’ll find detailed answers about our processes, capabilities, and crating services.

VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) Packaging

What is VCI?

VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor. It is a type of polyfilm that contains VCI molecules designed to protect metal parts during transit or long-term storage. When the VCI film is applied, these molecules are released into the air around the metal, forming a protective layer that prevents contaminants from causing rust and corrosion.

How Does VCI Work?

VCI polyfilm works by gradually releasing its molecules into the surrounding environment. These molecules form a thin, invisible layer on the surface of metal items, acting as a barrier against moisture, pollutants, and other corrosive elements. This protective layer is highly effective in safeguarding your metal cargo from rust and corrosion, ensuring it remains in excellent condition.

Benefits of VCI Packaging

Rust and Corrosion Protection:VCI creates a protective shield that prevents rust and corrosion on metal surfaces, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of your products.
Long-Term Preservation: Ideal for long-term storage, VCI helps keep your metal items in top condition over extended periods, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Easy Application: VCI film is easy to apply and can be used in various packaging applications, providing versatile protection for different types of metal cargo.

Applications of VCI Packaging

VCI packaging is commonly used in industries where metal parts are stored or transported for extended periods, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. By using VCI polyfilm, you can ensure that your metal items arrive at their destination without any damage from rust or corrosion.

Why Choose VCI Packaging?

VCI packaging offers a reliable and efficient solution for protecting metal goods, ensuring they are preserved in pristine condition during transport and storage.

Its ability to form a protective barrier against environmental contaminants makes it an essential choice for maintaining the quality and longevity of metal products.

 

VCI bags work by emitting vapor that forms an invisible, protective layer over the surface of metal items. This layer prevents oxygen, moisture, and other corrosive agents from reaching the metal, effectively stopping rust before it starts.

Learn More About The Importance Of VCI when crating machinery

Absolutely. VCI bags offer protection against salt, dust, dirt, and other contaminants that could otherwise cause rust or damage machinery. This makes them ideal for equipment being transported or stored in coastal or industrial areas.

Yes, VCI bags should be sealed to work effectively. Sealing the bag traps the protective vapor inside, ensuring that it fully surrounds the metal and provides complete rust protection. The seal also keeps out moisture and contaminants.
