When you remove the item, it's immediately ready for use, with no residue or film to clean off.

When packing multiple smaller metal parts into one large VpCI 126 zip lock bag, the key is to ensure that the total volume of metal is adequately protected by the VpCI concentration within the bag. While the VpCI molecules will reach all surfaces in the enclosed space, consider if very dense packing might hinder the vapor from reaching every nook and cranny. For optimal protection, it's best to allow some air circulation around the items within the bag to facilitate the VpCI distribution.

To ensure optimal performance and maintain their shelf life, it's best to store your unused Cortec VpCI 126 zip lock bags in their original packaging. They should be kept indoors, away from direct sunlight, and ideally within a temperature range of 40-100 °F (4-38 °C). This helps preserve the integrity of the VpCI inhibitors until you're ready to use them.

These large VpCI 126 zip lock bags are especially well-suited for safeguarding a wide array of large metal components that are susceptible to rust, corrosion, or environmental damage.
