Anti-Corrosion VCI Films September 2022

Anti-Corrosion VCI Films

Dealing with corrosion and rusting issues is quite common in various industries. This is a very commonly found issue in the industries that require storage and transfer of metallic products. Since metals are prone to corrosion, they are easily deteriorate while in storage in warehouses or during their transportation or shipment to different locations.

To ensure that such a situation is avoided, and the materials made of metals and products can have a longer life, solutions like Anti corrosion VCI films are devised for corrosion prevention.

About VCI Films and Daubert PMG

VCI films are poly films that are treated with VCI to ensure corrosion protection of metallic materials when wrapped in this. These VCI films form a physical barrier to keep the metal surface clean and free from moisture, air contaminants, and dust particles and the VCI molecule layer adds to the corrosion resistance. These VCI films are available in the form of rolls or sheets easy to use and capable of wrapping materials of all sizes.

Daubert PMG (Premium Metal Guard) is a specialized VCI packaging film impregnated with proprietary Daubert VCI that is prominently used during manufacture, in transit, and for storage of metal to prevent corrosion from occurring.

Application Areas and Industries

VCI films are used in all areas or industries that require the transition of materials in between manufacture, storage in warehouses, and shipping and transportation of parts to other locations for assembling and selling. Some of the industries and application areas are:

 

1. Automotives

There are auto parts like gearshifts, crankshafts, engine blocks, gearboxes, pipes, and more that need to be wrapped up and transported to other locations before they are used in automotive. These parts when leaving their source, they are in good condition. But it is important that when they reach the destination and are opened, their state remains the same. To ensure that in transit no environmental contaminants are able to harm the metal parts and promote corrosion, they are wrapped up in VCI film bags for protection.

 

2. Heavy Machinery

Heavy machines are used in various industries. They must come from some manufacturers who cannot send it pre-made but in parts to promote assembling on the receiver’s site. To ensure that the machine parts for the heavy machinery implementation are all in top condition, they are packed before transportation in VCI film bags.

 

3. Manufacturing

During manufacture, some metal parts are stored before they are used to further manufacturing process or assembly or as spares for inhouse use or transportation. Those parts might get corroded during this small or long duration and need special VCI film protection.

 

4. Logistics

Anything that is metal-based and needs transportation, requires a properly suited VCI film wrapping and packaging for the best results in terms of corrosion prevention.

 

5. Warehousing

Materials are often manufactured and then stored in warehouses for use when they might be needed in the future. In the meantime, they need to be packaged with VCI to ensure that they last longer in storage in their best condition without any impending rust.

 

6. Defense

In the field of defense as well, all the artillery is metal-based and requires proper VCI film packaging for rust prevention to ensure that the weapons remain in their good condition and free from corrosion during the battle to keep the soldiers at an advantage.

 

7. Iron, Steel and Primary Metal

Additionally, storage of steel coils, rolls, bar stock, cables, wires, tubes, and pipes also require VCI film packaging. These are some of the common application areas and industries where VCI films are prominently used.

Zavenir Daubert’s VCI Film Products

Zavenir Daubert has been in the field of corrosion prevention for years and decades and has been diligent in providing the right technologies to solve the growing problem of corrosion in all spheres. Here, Zavenir Daubert has provisioned a technology, Daubert VCI Multilayer Technology where there are three layers of protection. First is the physical layer that protects the metal surface from physical damage like scratches and atmospheric contamination. The second or middle layer gives the strength to the VCI film so that it does not tear out during use. The third or inner layer is the VCI molecule layer that provide the VCI barrier to prevent corrosion.

 

With this technology, Zavenir Daubert’s team has devised the product of VCI films to be used in the form of Polybags, rolls of sheets to be wrapped, film wraps and bags, Flute boards, foams, bubble films, aluminum foils, reinforced fabrics, and so on. To get the best VCI treatment for your metal-based products, get in touch with the Zavenir Daubert customer service team now for instant solution recommendations.
