Anti-corrosion treatment
Rust occurs when metal comes into contact with oxygen, i.e. when the metal oxidises. The metal then weakens and turns a reddish-brown colour. If you apply anti-rust treatment in time, you reduce the risk of expensive and time-consuming rust repairs in the future.
Our anti-corrosion solutions are recyclable, environmentally friendly and the most user-friendly on the market.
Anti-corrosion methods
VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitors) rust inhibitors is an effective and environmentally friendly corrosion protection method that protects components throughout the production chain. Dry corrosion protection such as VCI plastic or VCI paper protects large and small metal parts and equipment. Liquid corrosion protection, on the other hand, is ideal for when only certain small parts of an object need to be protected against rust, in which case you can brush or spray the product onto the small surfaces.
Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI)
Rust occurs when moisture comes into contact with metal and therefore the material needs to be protected. This is where VCI, a volatile corrosion inhibitor, comes in. With VCI in packaging materials, products are protected against rust.
The VCI molecules are released inside the pack when you close it, forming a film of VCI that prevents rusting on all metal surfaces. The VCI molecules then 'escape' into the air when the pack is opened. The products inside the pack are then ready to use without any degreasing or cleaning.
Our range of VCI corrosion protection
- VCI plastics: available in the form of pallet covers, bags, Z-bags, flat film, shrink film, tubing and bubble film.
- VCI paper: made from neutral/natural kraft paper that is fully recyclable. The paper provides corrosion protection in various applications such as one-piece and multi-piece packaging as well as interlayers to separate products.
- VCI foam: an impregnated foam that provides a much higher concentration of corrosion protection per unit area than other VCI-based packaging materials.
- VCI emitters: a product that helps you avoid oxidation and corrosion that can occur in enclosed spaces after external exposure.
- VCI water-based: a biodegradable, water-based rust inhibitor in spray form for the temporary protection of metal components during storage and transport.
- VCI oil-based: liquid rust inhibitors in spray form based on oil or solvent that provide long-lasting protection in both indoor and outdoor environments.
- VCI rust remover: a spray that quickly and effectively removes rust and discolouration from steel, iron, copper and brass surfaces.
