Anti Corrosion Paper Types, Uses and Application July 2022

Anti Corrosion Paper

While the sectors and industries are looking for the best solution to prevent their commodities from corrosion, there is a technology on the rise to enable protection. That technology is utilized in the form of anti corrosion paper. This paper is based on a technology that allows it to chemically form a protective barrier around metal and non-metal materials.

Anti Corrosion Paper and Its Uses

This paper is also called Volatile (Vapor) Corrosion Inhibitor paper which is a kraft packaging paper manufactured by inculcating VCI chemistry on the one side of wrapping paper. This paper is specially crafted to form an invisible and thin molecular (chemical-based) layer over the metal surface.

This layer or barrier ensures that no external elements such as air, moisture, contaminants, and so on are able to get in touch with the bare metal surface. Depending on the type of materials being wrapped within the anti-corrosion or rust inhibitor paper, the size, weight, and inhibitor types can vary during production on demand.

These rust inhibitor paper can be prepared and obtained in the form of rolls of paper, pre-cut in specific dimensions, and even with custom printing for the industry. This rust inhibitor paper has many different names including rust inhibitor paper, corrosion resistant paper, and so on but the application remains the same. These are used to wrap around various metal and auto parts that need to be stored or shipped to different cities for supply. From gears, Cylinder heads, and other engine parts to any automobile parts, and machinery pre-assembly, all need a secure covering for corrosion prevention.

Underlying Technology for anti rust paper

Since this paper utilizes the VCI chemistry, it means that it inculcates the technologies that are related to the VCI property. Zavenir Daubert has developed the 2 main technologies underlying this.


1. Daubert VCI Technology

This technology involves the concept of polarity and volatility. The volatile molecules of corrosion inhibition transport gradually from a medium such as anti corrosion paper to the component surface in such a way that the VCI molecules form a thin, transparent layer on the surface to protect the component from Rust.

2. Daubert VCI Multilayer Technology

This technology involves transferring more than one layer of protection on the metal surface from the VCI film. The first layer inhibits moisture from making contact with the surface while the second layer provides physical protection from damage, peeling, and cracking. The combination of 2 layers is a much stronger solution and is best for dire situations.

3. Daubert VCI Desiccant Technology

There are some desiccants that are for the sole purpose of absorbing all moisture molecules in a closed area containing metal surfaces to protect. This protection of absorption only works over a certain temperature. But combined with the VCI property there is a balance. After a certain temperature when desiccants release moisture back, till then all the VCI molecules have formed a thin layer on the surfaces thereby rendering a protective barrier.

Industries and Applications of VCI Paper

Anti corrosion paper or rust inhibitor paper is mostly utilized in the protection of metal components that are being stored in warehouses or during shipping to another city or country. There are scenarios in which moving from one manufacturing process to another requires that no section of metal components corrode. This means that during production, metal components can be wrapped in the rust inhibitor paper to help them stay rust-free.

Industries like Automotive, heavy machinery, manufacturing, construction, etc. all require the use of this paper. For example, many metal parts such as motors, pumps, big and small components, metal-casings, metal forgings, pressed blanks, and many more machinery parts are packaged inside VCI paper for corrosion protection while desiccants are added for added protection especially when the parts need to remain under packaging for a little longer.
