Daubert Cromwell Mastershield VCI Paper Rolls: Superior Metal Protection
Master Shield® kraft paper rolls are designed to safeguard ferrous metals from corrosion throughout the supply chain. This robust packaging solution effectively combats the harmful effects of rust and oxidation.
How VCI Paper Rolls Work:
VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor. Our VCI paper rolls employ a sophisticated surface neutralisation mechanism. The VCI corrosion inhibitor, in a state of equilibrium, adheres to the metal's surface, providing protection until it's manually removed with water or compressed air.
Unlike cheaper alternatives, our VCI inhibitor regenerates itself by drawing on remaining molecules within the enclosed VCI atmosphere. For optimal performance, we recommend oiling or greasing products before packaging. The VCI molecules, with their polar orientation, magnetize to the charged surface of the lubricated metal.
Important: For maximum efficiency, maintain a clearance of no more than 300mm between the metal product and the VCI paper.
Upon arrival, the VCI formula evaporates without residue, allowing immediate use.
Applications of VCI Paper Rolls:
VCI paper rolls are primarily used to protect metals from corrosion during shipping and storage, especially in export scenarios where goods face harsh conditions.
Corrosion damage can be caused by:
- Air (oxygen, humidity, nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, emissions)
- Water (saltwater, seawater, chlorine-based water)
- Acids (caustic formulas, grease removers, galvanic liquids)
- Dust (attracts dampness, binds contaminants)
- Perspiration (contains corrosion catalysts)
VCI corrosion inhibitors are also effective in manufacturing and warehousing, protecting idle or vulnerable products.
Important: VCI paper rolls are intended for trained professionals in well-ventilated areas. Wash hands before and after use. Not for food packaging.
Advantages of VCI Corrosion Protection:
- Easy to use (no oil coating required)
- Cost-effective (saves labor, no special disposal)
- Simple application (no solvents or degreasers)
- Eco-friendly (recyclable, thermal disposal)
VCI Paper Roll Longevity:
Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Avoid outdoor storage, high humidity, or temperatures above 27°C. Properly stored, VCI paper rolls offer up to 5 years of protection. VCI film provides 6 months outdoors and 24 months indoors.
