Stop the Corrosion Process with VCI Packaging
Metal parts have the potential to corrode at any stage of the manufacturing, storage or transport process. If corrosion is caught early, the metal part won’t incur damage, but any amount of corrosion causes headaches for your company and your customers.
When shipping and storing metal parts, corrosion control is essential. Your company needs the proven rust-prevention methods of VCI packaging to ensure that customers receive pristine parts.
Your image and bottom line are at stake.
The Science Behind VCI:
Understanding how corrosion occurs helps companies control it and deliver pristine parts to satisfied customers (i.e., customers looking to order more parts).
The corrosion reaction between metals and oxygen is immediate and continuous unless the corrosion cell perpetuating the reaction is stopped.
Corrosion on metal is a result of oxidation – a molecular, destructive reaction between oxygen and a
metal’s surface.
While oxidation does not weaken metal, its surface disintegrates, and a brittle film form. Rust, however, does weaken metal and is a serious concern.
Corrosion inhibitors ensure that your metal parts meet required levels of purity for assembly, processing and shipment for your customer.
The technology in VCI Packaging works by creating an invisible molecular layer of corrosion protection on metal surfaces.
The corrosion-inhibiting compound migrates from the VCI packaging (paper, poly bag, foam emitter) into the packaging environment, while a thin layer of protection adheres to metal surfaces, reaching
into recessed areas, holes, nooks and crannies.
VCI packaging self-adjusts to the temperature and humidity for efficient protection. Plus, vapors replenish inside the contained package.
Since metal parts are manufactured in different weights, shapes and sizes, metal parts manufacturers require various corrosion-inhibiting packaging. Therefore, Quick Pak Inc offers a full line of VCI products for your corrosion-prevention needs.
Environmentally friendly, easy to use, economical and extremely effective, VCI products are the only choice for corrosion prevention on fabricated metal parts.
