VCI Solutions for the Steel & Metal Industry

Products designed for the protection of metal and metal components VCIs and their method of providing corrosion protection VCIs emit small amounts of harmless active corrosion inhibitors. They are attracted to the charged surface of the metal. The flow of electrons in the metal and the flow of ions in the electrolyte surface is unable to operate and corrosion is halted. The length of protection depends on many factors and Technology Packaging staff are available to answer specific questions on corrosion protection or to provide detailed, objective proposals on suitable methods. This is true whether the problem relates to new projects or existing problematic transit and/or storage systems.
