Protecting metals from corrosion is crucial for many industries, and Mekonglink’s Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging offers an innovative solution. VCI technology prevents corrosion by forming a protective layer on metal surfaces, eliminating water and oxygen. This method is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly and easy to use. Discover how Mekonglink’s VCI products can save your business time and money while providing reliable, long-lasting protection for your valuable metal assets.

I. What is Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Packaging?

• VCI packaging is a way to protect metals from rust and corrosion. The VCI molecules evaporate into the air and create a layer on metal surfaces. This layer stops water and oxygen, which cause rust, from reaching the metal. Mekonglink’s VCI packaging offers an easy and cost-effective solution to protect your metal assets.
• VCI packaging provides nearly 100% corrosion inhibition, is cost-effective, safe for the environment, and easy to use without requiring special surface preparation. Mekonglink’s VCI products offer long-lasting protection and significant cost savings.

II. How VCI Works to Prevent Corrosion

1. Evaporation and Protective Layer Formation
   • VCI molecules evaporate into the air and form a protective layer on metal surfaces.
   • This layer prevents moisture and oxygen from reaching the metal, effectively stopping corrosion.
2. Long-lasting Protection
   • The corrosion inhibitory effect can last for months to years, depending on the environment and application.

III. VCI vs. Traditional Methods

1. Comparison with Traditional Methods

   • Traditional methods of corrosion protection, such as using oils, greases, and coatings, require frequent maintenance and reapplication.
   • These traditional methods often necessitate surface preparation before application and cleaning after use, which can be labor-intensive and time-consuming.

2. Advantages of VCI Technology

   • Reduced Maintenance: VCI technology significantly reduces the need for frequent maintenance and cleaning, as the protective layer formed by VCI molecules is long-lasting and effective.
   • No Surface Preparation: Unlike traditional methods, VCI does not require any special surface preparation before application. This makes it much easier and quicker to use.
   • Cost-Effective: By reducing the need for constant reapplication and maintenance, VCI technology can save significant costs over time. The elimination of cleaning procedures further adds to the cost savings.
   • Comprehensive Protection: VCI provides almost 100% corrosion inhibition, ensuring that metal components are fully protected. This is especially effective in environments where moisture and oxygen coexist, conditions that typically accelerate corrosion.

IV. Key Benefits of VCI Packaging

1. Cost Savings
   • VCI packaging reduces overall maintenance costs and extends the lifespan of metal components. This leads to significant savings in both time and money for businesses.
   • The reduced need for frequent application and cleaning means lower labor costs and fewer interruptions in production processes.
2. Perfect Corrosion Inhibition
   • VCI technology provides almost 100% corrosion inhibition. The evaporated VCI molecules form a continuous protective layer on the metal surface, preventing corrosion even in the presence of moisture and oxygen.
   • The protective effect of VCI can last for several months to years, depending on the specific product and environmental conditions.
3. Safe and Environmentally Friendly
   • VCI products are safe for humans and do not contain harmful substances like chromium or heavy metals. This makes them a healthier choice compared to some traditional corrosion inhibitors.
   • They are environmentally friendly and do not require special wastewater treatment, aligning with modern environmental regulations and sustainability goals.
4. Ease of Use
   • VCI products are straightforward to apply. They do not require any surface preparation before use, and no cleaning is needed after use.
   • The simple application process makes VCI suitable for a wide range of industries and uses, from small parts to large industrial equipment.

V. Types of VCI Products

1. VCI Powder
   • Description: VCI powder can be used in various applications, from protecting small parts like bolts and screws to large industrial equipment like tanks and pipelines.
   • Usage: Depending on the desired anti-rust time and working environment, different amounts of VCI powder are used. For short-term protection, 30g to 100g per cubic meter is sufficient, while long-term protection may require 300g to 500g per cubic meter.
   • Application: VCI powder can be placed around objects in bags or nonwoven fabric. For small parts, wrapping them with VCI nonwoven fabric is effective.
2. VCI Film
   • Description: VCI film is made from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) containing VCI to protect metal surfaces.
   • Usage: VCI film can be used to cover metal objects such as machinery, tools, and components. It is available in various forms, including sheets, bags, and wraps.
   • Benefits: The film provides transparent protection, allowing for easy inspection of the covered objects. It offers a corrosion inhibition life of up to five years without the need for oils or greases.
3. VCI Master Powder
   • Description: VCI Master Powder is used in combination with polymers to produce corrosion-resistant films.
   • Usage: The powder is mixed with LDPE or LLDPE resin to create films with superior corrosion properties. It is typically mixed at a weight ratio of 2.0% to 3.0%.
   • Benefits: These films release VCI vapors that form a protective layer on metal surfaces, ensuring long-lasting corrosion protection.
