VCI Film Protective Packaging

Logimarkt’s VCI polyethylene anti-rust film provides robust corrosion protection for metallic components. It surpasses the capabilities of traditional anti-rust paper. During the manufacturing process, polyethylene molecules are combined with VCI anti-corrosion agents. This process results in an impermeable final product. Unlike paper, this film forms an impervious barrier. It preventing moisture infiltration—the film acts like a protective umbrella. VCI particles are gradually released, taking approximately 2 hours to reach the surface of the protected product.

This VCI polyethylene anti-corrosion foil is available in various strip widths. They range from 200 mm to 6000 mm. It features a transparent design with a subtle light-blue tint. Suitable for safeguarding both ferrous and non-ferrous products and metals, it has no adverse effects on the mechanical or electrical characteristics of the items it protects.

Ease of use is a highlight of this product, available in convenient bag formats with different dimensions. For shipping under high humidity or salinity conditions, especially sea transportation, it can be effectively combined with our VCI anti-corrosion paper.

Common applications for our VCI film protective packaging include:

• Protecting tubes, pipes, cylinders, and voluminous components;
• Packaging components for export, safeguarding them between operations and during long-term transport.

A wide range of industries can benefit from these products. They include automotive, mechanical, metallurgy, heavy industry, electronics, and the packaging industry. To achieve comprehensive corrosion protection, it’s important to ensure the following conditions are met during the packaging stage:

• Thoroughly clean components to remove any traces of chemical, metallic, or other residues (e.g., fingerprints, detergents, chlorides).
• Ensure metallic components are completely dry before packaging.
• Maintain a maximum distance of 20 cm between the VCI foil and the product requiring protection.
• Seal the VCI packaging securely.
• Eliminate any obstacles between the anti-rust packaging and the metallic product to allow VCI particles to reach and form a protective layer on the metal surface.
• Ensure that metallic components are fully packed.
• Optionally, desiccant can be placed between the foil and the metallic piece to absorb existing humidity at the time of packaging.
