Question: Why it is important to know how much VCI is in a product?

Knowing how much VCI is contained in a VCI product (such as a VCI paper or poly film) ensures that your metal parts have the added insurance they need to remain corrosion free. For example, ARMOR VCI papers contain a specified and measured amount of VCI additive, as measured in grams/square foot. The ability to monitor and control the amount of VCI is a testament to our quality and continued improvement. If a company cannot specify and consistently meet a given coating weight of VCI on a substrate, one runs the risk of having too little VCI to adequately protect their metal parts.
