VCI Bags
VCI bags are useful for storing or shipping metal parts, tools, machinery, and any metal components susceptible to rust. They are often preferred over traditional rust-preventative coatings, as they eliminate the need for messy application and removal. Seal your metal item inside the VCI bag, and the protective vapors will safeguard it for extended periods, even in harsh or humid environments.

- Tightly seal packages with tape, heat seal, zip ties, or fold over after each use.
What does VCI stand for in packaging?
VCI is short for vapor corrosion inhibitor, volatile corrosion inhibitor or vapor phase corrosion inhibitor. All of these expansions of VCI describe the same thing, a paper or plastic piece of packaging with added chemical compounds that prevent corrosion on the metal items within them.
How are VCI bags and VCI sheeting used?
VCI bags and VCI sheeting protect metals during transport, storage, or in the middle of a project. VCI bags and sheeting are easier to use than VCI liquids as they do not require the metal to be rinsed and dried before use.
