Collection: VCI Emitter

What is a VCI Emitter?

A VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) emitter is a device designed to release a substance that protects metal parts from corrosion. These emitters utilize a unique blend of chemicals to provide a corrosion inhibitor that offers extensive protection for various metal surfaces. Commonly used in enclosed spaces such as packaging, cabinets, closed bins, boxes, and shipping containers, VCI emitters create a protective blanket on metal surfaces, effectively repelling rust and corrosion.

This makes them an essential tool in maintaining the integrity of metal parts in various environments.

Introduction to VCI technology and its purpose in corrosion prevention.

How VCI Emitters Work

VCI emitters function by releasing a vapor that deposits an invisible molecular layer on metal surfaces. This protective layer safeguards metal and electronic equipment during operation, shipping, or storage. The vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) in the emitters gradually release corrosion inhibitors, allowing moisture and air pollutants to be absorbed and neutralized. This process provides long-term protection against corrosion, even in the presence of moisture. The science behind VCI emitters is based on the principle of vapor phase corrosion inhibition, where VCI molecules migrate to the metal surface and form a protective layer that prevents corrosion.

Explanation of the mechanism and science behind VCI emitters.

Benefits and Applications

VCI emitters offer numerous benefits and have a wide range of applications across various industries. They provide corrosion protection for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making them ideal for use in packaging, cabinets, closed bins, boxes, and shipping containers. VCI emitters are also highly effective in control panels, tool boxes, and electrical cabinets, where they protect metal components and parts from corrosion. Additionally, they can be used in gun cabinets, fuse boxes, and other enclosures to provide comprehensive corrosion protection. The benefits of VCI emitters include:

• Long-term corrosion protection
• Easy to use and install
• Cost-effective
• Non-toxic and non-corrosive
• Versatile applications

Overall, VCI emitters are a reliable and effective solution for providing corrosion protection in various industries, including electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, and more. Their ability to protect metal surfaces from corrosion makes them an invaluable asset in maintaining the longevity and functionality of metal components and equipment.

Daubrite® VCI emitter disks (or pads) are self-contained portable units that dispense Daubert Cromwells market leading corrosion inhibitors to protect metal surfaces from corrosion damage within an enclosed space.

Daubrite VCI emitter are available in a variety of sizes and deliveries. Each is dosed to give effective corrosion protection for a certain volume/ area of space. VCI protection is most effective in enclosed environments where the vapor can fully saturate the space.

VCI corrosion emitters have discovered many uses for themselves in asset preservation & protection. They provide a cost-effective hardware & infrastructure protection solution. Cabinets, control boxes, data storage towers, electrical components and restricted/awkward spaces generally can benefit from this convenient corrosion protection solution.

VCI emitters are safe to use with electronics and do not leave any residue.

Daubrite VCI emitter foam pads

For smaller enclosed spaces and areas consider the Daubrite VCI foam emitter pads each capable of protecting enclosed spaces up to 1 cubic foot (0.028m³) of enclosed space for up to 2 years. These pads are designed to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion within small enclosed spaces. They are easy and safe to install as well as being very economical.

For larger areas consider the Daubrite 10 VCI emitter disk. This self-adhesive pad can protect areas up to 10ft³ for up to 2 years in dry conditions.

As well as enclosures and cabinets VCI Emitters are used as either primary or supplemental export packaging for manufactured goods travelling overseas.

VPCI® vapor corrosion inhibitors emitters

VPCI® emitters deliver an additional dose of Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor formula for packages & enclosures of all sizes that require enhanced corrosion protection whilst being transported or stored.

The emitter disks or pads come in a variety of shapes, sizes and formats. By inserting one and sealing inside clients can ensure they are creating a protective, corrosion inhibiting atmosphere within the space.

For those extremely sensitive items that could be exposed to harsh outdoor climates. Or for those conducting outdoor storage packaging work in general, open yards, runways, ocean vessel freight etc.

By using a VPCI emitter you give your metal goods & assets greater security against corrosion damage.

Whether you are looking to use VCI emitters in order to protect output/manufactured goods. Or as a preservation measure for existing equipment assets, we have an emitter to suit.

VPCI emitters work by releasing vapor phase corrosion inhibitors into the air. Once in a well-sealed or enclosed package/environment the VPCI formula migrates over to the metal surface that needs protecting. This then forms a protective shield over the surface protecting it from rust and corrosion.
