VCI kraft paper packaging is used as an alternative to petroleum-based rust preventatives, the chemicals saturated into the paper produce invisible barriers to prevent moisture, oxygen and other corrosive elements from attacking metal surfaces that would otherwise cause rust or corrosion. Therefore, VCI paper is a much cleaner option, and reduces labour as no degreasing cleaning is required after unpacking, before the item can be used.

• For use with ferrous metals.
• For every cubic foot of void space, use at least 1 square foot of paper.
• For every 1-3 square feet of metal surface, use at least 1 square foot of paper.
• Component should be with 12" of the VCI paper. - Paper does not have to be sealed around the component.
  
  

To select the type of VCI paper that best suits your requirements we recommend you discuss the application with one of our sales representatives. It is important to consider the type of metal you are shipping, what environments it will be exposed to and how long the component needs to be protected for.  
Use rolls with a dispenser for an efficient packaging process. Contact our sales team for more details on this item.

Use tissue, newsprint, kraft or VCI paper packaging materials as protective wrapping papers or crumple for economic void-fill.

• Tissue Paper is the most economic paper packaging option, available in sheets for fragile applications requiring soft void-fill or cushioning.  Tissue Paper is the softest and most lightweight paper packaging, offering the most delicate and cost-effective protection. Tissue paper is available acid-free for long-term storage applications or for protection of valuable heirlooms, wedding dresses or leather items.
• Newsprint is available in both rolls and sheets, it’s thickness offering a greater level of protection than tissue paper. Newsprint is a smooth, white, recycled, inexpensive paper, not only used for printing newspapers and other mass publications. In the packaging industry newsprint rolls and sheets are used to wrap items for shipment or storage, line trays or separate grouped items, and crumpled as void-filler in cartons. 
• Kraft paper is a more robust option than newsprint, recycled kraft paper is a more environmentally friendly option than virgin kraft paper, however virgin kraft is sometimes required when a smoother finish or superior tear strength is required. Recycled kraft paper is 100% recycled, therefore environmentally friendly, low-cost, all-purpose packaging material. Lightweight but sturdy enough for industrial and commercial uses including void fill for cushioning, wrapping for surface protection from scrapes and scratches, or even layering between palletized items. 
• VCI paper is made from high quality kraft paper saturated with vapour corrosion inhibitor chemistry, it is designed to protect metal components in enclosed spaces or packages from rust, by slowly releasing a corrosion protective compound into the air. VCI kraft paper is used as an alternative to petroleum-based rust preventatives, the chemicals saturated into the paper produce invisible barriers to prevent moisture, oxygen and other corrosive elements from attacking metal surfaces that would otherwise cause rust or corrosion. VCI paper is a clean rust preventative option, and reduces labour as no degreasing cleaning is required after unpacking, before the item can be used.
