VCI (Volatile Corrosion inhibitor)

Product Description

All ARMOR Protective Packaging® products utilize our proprietary ARMOR VCI Technology. ARMOR VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) decreases the rate of attack on metals. VCI is a class of corrosion inhibiting compounds which have sufficient vapor pressure or energy to release molecules from a compound into the air. Once released, the molecules are disseminated throughout an enclosed air space to the metal surface by diffusion, ie. the normal flow of air caused by rising and falling temperature. ARMOR VCIs retard the corrosive action. Electrical current attempts to flow from the anode through the electrolyte into the cathode but cannot, because of the VCI.
