VCI stands for Volatile Chemical Inhibitors, these are high tech chemicals that are volatile in nature and they constantly vaporize and protect the metals from corrosion. Why do you need VCI Packaging? … These special vapours form a very thin protective layer around the metal surface and prevent the metal from corrosion.

How long do VCI bags last?

The VCI anti-corrosion chemistry can last between 5 and 20 years depending on how often the bag is open and closed. Opening the bag a few times within a month can yield at least 5 years, while opening it less frequently (a few times a year or less) can yield up to 20 years of protection.

What does VCI stand for corrosion?
