How VCI Works

A vapor corrosion inhibition (VCI) technology which is a

patent and trademark of RustX

Moisture is reacted with VCI Chemicals in vapor phase and when it settles on Iron and is

neutral to oxidation

VCI Plastics are recyclable

5 Yr. Corrosion Prevention- Better moisture and oxygen barrier properties as a result of advanced SMP VCI Technology

Reduced film usage Reduced Overwrap Thinner gauge films

VCI Plastics are printable up-to 4 colors with photo quality printing

Advantages to Advantages to CustomerCustomer

Demonstrable Proprietary technology provides higher strength in low gauge films

Type of Polymers used distinguish a film Cross Linking increase functional strength A film made on a Co Ex plant is 30% stronger than

made on 1 layer plant or cast line Better polymers with lower MFI are used to

strengthen a film

VCI additive in the inner film maintain a ph of 8-9 inside the packaging

Tackiness on both outer and inner enable better adhesion of the film layers

High elongation up to 900% results in lesser tearing at the edges.

Solutions for Steel Mills

RustX Power Stretch Film 2.7 mil thick is a solution for RustX Power Stretch Film 2.7 mil thick is a solution for

improvementimprovement

High adhesive strength so the whole coil skin packed

and sealed and no moisture can enter packaging

Corrosion prevention chemicals added to prevent

oxidation upto 5 years storage

Excellent elongation and cocooning effect and the film

doesn’t tear from edges

Special cross linked polymers put in the middle layer of

film for special strength on edges.

600% - 900% elongation in the film

How Steel oxidizes if

packaging is not

appropriate

Moisture during transportation – 100% RH with Temp of 45 - 48 C

Breathing of the Packaging – Changes in Temperature & Volume of Air

Removal Of Oil from the surface by absorption

Absorption of Humidity or water retention by Interleaving Paper

Rainfall during transportation

Improper Storage Conditions

Causes of Causes of RustRust

24

Snow causing seepage of water inside the coils

Poor tacky adhesives can lead to gaps

Poor VCI is a major cause of non neutral environment in packaging

Rain Water, water at ports or sea can seep through the edge of protectors

Only a good quality tacky stretch can result in tightly

wrapped coil

25


Poor Stretch wrapping causing moisture to go inside packaging
