VCI Film

Anti-Corrosion Polyethylene Packaging Film for Metal Protection

VCI Film is a polyethylene-based anti-corrosion packaging film designed to protect metal products from rust and oxidation during storage, handling, and transportation. By releasing vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors inside sealed packaging, VCI Film forms a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces—providing clean, oil-free corrosion protection without additional treatments.

What Is VCI Film & How It Works

VCI Film uses Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology to protect metals in enclosed packaging. Once the metal parts are sealed inside the film, VCI molecules vaporize and spread throughout the package, attaching to metal surfaces and creating a temporary protective barrier.
This barrier helps reduce corrosion caused by humidity, oxygen, and environmental exposure, and disappears automatically when the package is opened—no cleaning required.

Typical Applications

VCI Film is widely used for corrosion protection across manufacturing, logistics, and export industries, including:

• Machined parts, stamped parts, and metal components

• Automotive and motorcycle parts (gears, bearings, fasteners)

• Industrial machinery parts and spare components

• Metal structures and semi-finished metal products

• Export packaging and long-term warehouse storage

It is suitable for single-item wrapping, grouped packaging, and inner liner use inside cartons or wooden cases.

Key Benefits of VCI Film

• Effective rust prevention without oils, greases, or coatings

• Clean packaging solution – no residue on metal surfaces

• Easy to use – pack, seal, store, or ship

• Cost-efficient protection for long-distance transport and export

• Flexible converting formats for different packing workflows

Available Formats & Converting Types

VCI Film can be supplied in multiple formats to match different packaging methods:

• Single Wound / Double Wound Film – for general wrapping and covering

• Centerfold Film – suitable for automated or semi-automated packaging lines

• Flat Tubing – ideal for inserting long or continuous metal parts

• Gusseted Tubing – for bulky or irregular-shaped metal products

Technical Specifications

Optional Performance Features

To meet different storage and transport conditions, VCI Film can be combined with additional functional options:

• Anti-UV – for outdoor or extended exposure

• Flame Retardant – for regulated or high-risk environments

• Reinforced Structure – enhanced puncture and tear resistance
  

How to Use VCI Film (Basic Guide)

1. Place clean, dry metal parts inside the VCI Film

2. Seal the package using heat sealing, tape, or tying methods

3. Store or transport under normal logistics conditions

4. Remove the film before use – no surface cleaning required

   
   

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does VCI Film need to touch the metal directly?
No. Protection works through vapor action inside a sealed package.

Q2: Is VCI Film suitable for export shipping?
Yes. It is commonly used for export, long-distance transport, and warehouse storage.

Q3: Can VCI Film replace oil-based rust prevention?
In many applications, yes—especially where clean, dry packaging is required.

Q4: How long does the corrosion protection last?
Protection duration depends on sealing quality, storage conditions, and film thickness.
