VCI Anti-Rust Corrugated Carton

Overview

VCI anti-rust cartons release a vapour-phase corrosion inhibitor from a specially coated liner. The vapour migrates to every exposed metal surface inside the closed box — including recesses, threads and bores that no wrap can reach — and forms a monomolecular protective layer.

Protection that reaches everywhere

Unlike oil films or wrapping paper, VCI vapour fills the enclosed air volume and condenses on all metal surfaces. Threaded holes, blind bores, mating faces and internal cavities are protected without any additional operation on the customer's line.

No oil, no degreasing

Parts arrive dry and ready to assemble. This removes the degreasing step from the receiving process, along with the associated solvent handling, floor space and waste stream. Assembly lines typically see a measurable time saving.

Ferrous and multi-metal grades

Standard liners protect ferrous metals; multi-metal grades are available for assemblies containing aluminium, copper, brass or galvanised steel. Protection periods of 12 to 24 months are achievable depending on packing method and storage humidity.
