A Simple Guide to Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors
VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors) are special chemicals that help stop metal from rusting and getting damaged. They work by releasing tiny invisible vapors inside packaging or containers. These vapors stick to metal surfaces and create a protective shield that keeps out water, oxygen, and other things that cause rust.
How Does VCI Work?
VCI chemicals turn into a vapor that fills the air inside the package. When the vapor touches metal, it forms a thin, invisible layer that stops rust and corrosion from forming. This means the metal stays safe without needing messy oils or sprays.
Where is VCI Used?
- Packing metal parts and machines
- Keeping electronics safe
- Protecting metal sheets during transport
- Storing tools and hardware
