VCI Film

When it comes to stopping rust in its tracks, ARMOR VCI Film doesn’t just block corrosion—it puts your metal parts in a virtual invisible force field (minus the messy grease or oil shower). By infusing tough poly film with our rust-eradicating vapor corrosion inhibitors, ARMOR VCI Film pulls double duty: serving as a clean physical barrier against dust and moisture while releasing a micro-thin protective vapor blanket that repels rust at the molecular level. It’s clean, dry, easy-peasy to use, and guaranteed to knock your socks off while keeping your metal factory-fresh.

Dual-Benefit Rust Prevention VCI Film

VCI film safeguards metal from rust and corrosion in two ways.  It not only provides a physical barrier that keeps metal parts clean and free from moisture, dust and contaminants, VCI film also releases its rust-eradicating vapor corrosion inhibitor (aka, VCI) to form a blanket of protection on the surface of metal that is only 2-3 molecules thick.   VCI film can be manufactured in many forms including rolls, sheets, VCI bags or tubing and it is an easy-to-use, clean and dry packaging option for metal and metal parts.

VCI film is created when linear, low density polyethylene (poly film) is impregnated with vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) but take note, there’s no birds-and-the-bees twist to this union — instead, the result is VCI film.

To prevent rust using VCI film, wrap metal/metal parts in VCI film or place them in a VCI poly bag and seal — there’s no messy grease or oil to apply.  Once metal/metal parts are enclosed, the VCI activates to form a layer of protection on the surface of the metal parts that displaces moisture and repels rust. Voila – it’s easy, peasy!
