VCI Films

VCI technology has many advantages. It typically does not require the special removal of a coating or greasy rust preventative. This reduces labor time and hazardous waste disposal fees from having to clean off traditional petroleum-based rust preventatives—often with solvent-based cleaners. It also solves the problem of protecting intricate equipment internals (e.g., pipes, boilers, valves, auto components) where it would be difficult if not impossible to apply a coating or liquid rust preventative. VCIs do not require a constant source of electricity as needed for dehumidification systems.

VCI technologies protect multiple metal types and work in multiple phases—liquid, vapor, and interface—so they can be used to inhibit corrosion on metal surfaces below and above the fluid level in water treatment or oil and gas applications. These characteristics work together to save time and money and offer more thorough, reliable, and easier-to-use protection than a variety of other metals preservation strategies.
