• Aluminum Barrier Film + SicheR VCi + Gulmohar Desiccants :

Aluminum barrier material can be used as a packaging in combination with desiccants. After a product has been packed, the air is taken out and the desiccants will adsorb the remaining moisture.

Aluminum barrier foil has considerably lower water vapour transmission rate than bags made of LDPE or HDPE and reduces the required amount of desiccants in the export packaging.

Important & useful information on VCI products

• Corrosion is the natural mechanism by which metal returns to its original state of ore.
• VCI chemicals are a class of corrosion inhibiting compounds which have sufficient vapour pressure to release molecules from the compound into the air to protect package from corrosion. VCI comes in many substrates like paper, film, powder, oil and so on. Every substrate has its own functioning.
• Presence of VCI can be felt only by with its typical smell or otherwise by testing in salt spray or humidity test for Vapor Inhibiting Ability.
• Protective atmosphere is build up depending on the substrate of material used as a carrier for VCI and the temperature i.e. higher the temperature faster is the protective atmosphere builds up
• From strictly a corrosion inhibitor standpoint, paper has been a better inhibitor of rust due to the way that the VCI is impregnated into the paper and is released into the air and onto the product in comparison to VCI film.
• Airtight packaging is not required for a VCI product to work. Parts should be completely wrapped or enclosed and airtight packaging would be most effective for best results and the longest protection time.
• Metals already subjected to the corrosive process are offered a certain amount of protection by VCI materials. Corrosion already present cannot be repaired with the VCI other special rust remover is required to remove rust.
• Our VCI products are compatible with each other i.e. where two different VCI products are used it should be of one manufacturer as it is already tested and proven.
• Metal should be cleaned before packing with VCI material.
• Closer the metal from VCI product betters the corrosion protection.
• Avoid direct contact of metal parts from any wood or corrugated box packing.
• It is extremely important that all workers wear gloves not only to protect their hands,But also to eliminate acidity and moisture from transferring onto the part.
• It is recommended not to store VCI paper or polyethylene products more than two months and should be stored in its original packaging even after using part of the quantity.
• The average life of a VCI product is directly related to the environment as being volatile in nature so it should be stored in a cool place.
• Please keep laminated or printed side of vci paper and film as outer side of the packing and opposite side as inner side in contact with the job to be packed.

How does VCI work?

• VCI creates an invisible molecular protection layer on the metal. The chemicals found in the corrosion inhibitor evaporate from the different products (PE film, PUR foam, paper, tablets etc) to saturate the environment. Once the environment around the metal is saturated, a thin molecular protection layer is formed on the metal, inhibiting corrosion. The protection remains as long as the product is enclosed in the saturated space.
• Moisture or impurities in the direct air around the metal can no longer influence metal to corrode. The metal product is placed in the VCI packaging material, which is then closed and put into the transport packaging. VCI is compatible with most metals and alloys and requires no grease or oil and no pre-treatment except ensuring that the metal surfaces are dry and clean.
• After opening the packaging, the molecular protection
