ECP’s range of Vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) from SAFEPACK work by emitting a protective vapour which condenses on all metal surfaces. The resulting microscopic ionic layer has excellent anticorrosive properties, preventing ferrous, non-ferrous and combination of ferrous & non-ferrous metals(multi-metals from corroding. The coverage is complete - not only those in direct contact with the VCI product, but also areas in recesses, contained voids or airspaces above the product, will be protected from corrosion. The protective barrier self-replenishes through further condensation of the vapour, even for packaging that’s repeatedly opened. The greatest advantage of VCI is that Air-tight packaging is not required.

The process:

• VCI vaporizes.
• VCI vapour fills the atmosphere, including recessed areas and cavities.
• VCI Vapor condenses on all metal surfaces.
• VCI ions dissolve in moisture film (water electrolyte).
• VCI Protective ions are attracted to metal surfaces.
• VCI ions form a thin, mono-molecular protective film at the metal surface.
• VCI film barrier self-replenishes through further condensation of the vapor.

ECP offer a full range of anti corrosion VCI (vapor-corrosion-inhibitors) flexible packaging solutions including: VCI bags, VCI zipper bags, VCI film, VCI tube film, VCI stretch film, VCI gusset bags, VCI woven fabrics and covers, liquids and oils.

VCI vapor corrosion inhibitors are used in every stage of the production cycle. From the, start of the production of metal stock to its actual use in the field. When properly applied, VCI additives, metalworking fluids, and packaging will substantially cut time and costs throughout the entire manufacturing process including storage, shipment, field service or final presentation of the finished product. VCIs eliminate many extra processing steps of cleaning, degreasing, rust removal, pickling, sandblasting and re-protecting. You have less re-work, fewer rejects, improved quality, reduced rust claims and longer equipment life.

VCI emitters

VCI EMITTERS come as a boon to users and manufacturers of electrical and electronic items. They are product life enhancers, which are compact, self-sticking devices and are very easy to install in closed electrical and electronic panels. They are porous dome containers loaded with concentrated hi-tech VCIs, which easily vaporize through this porous body. They offer effective protection to multimetal contact points against oxidation and corrosion, by making them inert to the action of corroding agents such as humidity, moisture, salts, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, ammonia or acid rain.

CORE ELEMENTS :

Oxide formation at contact points is a major source of worry for manufacturers and users of electronic /electrical equipment. This oxidation & corrosion results in loss of conductivity which causes malfunctioning of equipment & also damages delicate and expensive components. SAFEPACK VCI EMITTERS SP-MDE effectively address the problem of corrosion. VCI Anti Corrosion Emitters is an adhesive backed porous plastic dome containing. Hi-tech Volatile Corrosion inhibiting chemicals. These chemicals have a property of evaporating into surrounding enclosures. The released vapors then deposit on contact points and metal surfaces forming a protective mono-ionic layer. This layer thus offers effective protection to the contact points against oxidation & corrosion by making them inert to the action of corroding agents such as humidity, moisture, salt etc. Emitters work well under any adverse conditions including contaminants in air such as hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, ammonia or acid rain.

FEATURES :

• Offers protection to a wide range of multimetals.
• Depending on the imperviousness of the pack, protection should last up to 24 months, longer tenure protection can also be designed.
• Effective in polluted, marine and humid atmosphere.
