Collection: Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitor
What is a Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitor / VpCI®?

Common Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitor Questions
What Does VpCI® Do? VpCI®’s mechanism of action works by vaporising (or sublimating) off the packaging materials in order to saturate and fill the surrounding atmosphere. Sometimes it is referred to as a migrating corrosion inhibitor. Once the VpCI® corrosion inhibitor has been given time to fully migrate and bind/absorb onto the metal surface, the action completes by forming a thin, mono-molecular layer for VpCI ® corrosion inhibiting protection well into the future. The layer effectively stops the ‘pre-cursor’ electrochemical reaction of water, air and contaminants that takes place before corrosion/ rust damage occurs. |
Whats's The Difference Between VpCI® Technology And Regular Desiccant! Moisture removal is the only action that desiccants perform within enclosed packaging spaces. This approach can reduce the risk of corrosion occurring however once the desiccant is depleted or the package/container itself is opened prematurely; moisture enters the package area and the desiccant is ineffective. Vapour phase corrosion inhibitor packaging ( VpCI®) solves this problem by using a patented self-replenishing action that continues to work providing unbeatable market leading corrosion protection, even if the package is opened briefly. |
Is There Any Pre Or Post Packing Parts Cleaning Required With VpCI® Packaging? You should still prepare the metal surface to which it will be applied though. Ensure it is dirt, oil, grease and contaminant free before application. |
What Is The Best Way To Close VpCI® Packaging? When using VpCI® flexible packaging, specifically VpCI® 126 bags consider an ISZ impulse heat sealer machine for optimal seal quality. |
Does VpCI® Packaging Need To Be Replaced At Any Point? VpCI® packaging in most formats can be considered single use, recyclable industrial packaging. This kind of packaging should be inspected regularly, removed or replaced if upon physical inspection you notice any punctures, tears or holes that cannot easily be repaired or covered with heavy duty tape. |
Do Cortec VpCI® Packaging Products Have A Shelf Life? For most products, the shelf life is 2 years. If a product is stored in its original packaging and used within 2 years of its production date, then Cortec is confident that product will work to the same high standards as one just finished. |
Can You Offer Any Advice On The Dosing And Placement Of VpCI®, VCI Products?
|
Can You Offer Advice On Best Practices for VpCI®, VCI Products? Best Practices include:
This is normal. Do remember though once the enclosure is opened the VpCI® cannot adapt to the change in environment and so stops working. |
What Is The Difference Between VCI And VpCI® Technology? VpCI® is patented Cortec® technology. VpCI® or Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitors utilise a mechanism of action that can be considered superior to commodity VCI plastic bags. VpCI®Corrosion Inhibitors migrate and bind onto the nearby metal surfaces to form a thin molecular layer that protects goods from rust and corrosion well into the future. Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitors tend to be a more consistent product in that dosing of the formula itself is done volumetrically for each bag, as it is with the blue LDPE polyethene material. Unlike cheaper alternatives VpCI® keeps working well into the long term. It is trusted by the worlds leading manufacturing brands as one of the best corrosion prevention methods available. In addition there are many supplementary products that can be used for an optimal solution or as a standalone measure. |
