Vapour
Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Masterbatches are advanced additive concentrates
designed to protect metal components from rust and corrosion during
storage and transportation. By releasing active vapor-phase corrosion
inhibitors, these masterbatches create a protective molecular layer on the
surface of metals, preventing oxidation without direct contact. They are widely
used in packaging films, bags, and wraps for industries where corrosion
protection is critical.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Active Ingredients: Proprietary organic salts
and amine-based vapor corrosion inhibitors.
Carrier Resin: LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP or
custom carriers compatible with packaging resins.
Appearance: Free-flowing granules,
typically translucent to light-colored.
Protection Range: Effective up to several
meters within sealed packaging.
Metal Compatibility: Suitable for ferrous
(steel, iron) and non-ferrous (aluminum, copper, brass) metals.
Shelf Life: Long-lasting protection,
typically 12–24 months depending on storage conditions.
Applications
Industrial Packaging: Films, bags, and shrink
wraps for metal parts and components.
Automotive & Aerospace: Protection of spare parts,
machined components, and assemblies.
Electronics &
Electricals:
Corrosion-free storage of sensitive electronic components.
Engineering & Machinery: Long-term storage of tools,
bearings, fasteners, and equipment.
Defense & Marine: Packaging of weapons,
marine hardware, and offshore equipment.
Processing Techniques
Film Extrusion (Blown &
Cast) –
VCI films, bags, and wraps.
Injection Molding – containers, caps, and
protective housings.
Sheet Extrusion &
Thermoforming –
trays, clamshells, and separators.
Blow Molding – VCI bottles and rigid
packaging solutions.
Sustainability
Reduced need for oils,
greases, and secondary protective coatings, lowering environmental
impact.
Non-toxic, nitrite-free
formulations
safe for workers and end-use environments.
Recyclable carrier resins maintain compatibility with
existing recycling streams.
Resource savings through extended shelf life
of metals, minimizing waste from corrosion damage.
Customizable bio-based
carrier options
available to align with circular economy goals.
