VCI Packaging – Advanced Rust Prevention Without Oils or Grease

TSW Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. – Authorized Distributor of Daubert VCI®

For decades, the challenge of protecting metals from rust without oils or greases led to the invention of VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) Technology. Originally developed by George Daubert during World War II, Daubert VCI® revolutionized rust prevention by eliminating the need for messy coatings. Today, metals can be safely stored or transported using VCI films, papers, and emitters, forming an invisible molecular shield against corrosion.

At TSW Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we offer a full range of Daubert VCI® Packaging Solutions, ensuring that metal parts remain corrosion-free during shipping, storage, and layup, even in harsh environments.

Why Choose VCI Packaging?

  • Oil-Free Corrosion Protection – No need for messy grease or rust preventive oils
  • Easy Application & Removal – No cleaning required before assembly, welding, or painting
  • Long-Term Rust Prevention – Protection for up to 5 years
  • Meets Global Industry Standards – OEM-approved, REACH-compliant, MIL-Spec certified
  • Suitable for Diverse Metals & Conditions – Protects ferrous & non-ferrous metals in export, storage, and industrial use

VCI Packaging Selection Criteria

  • Metal Type – Ferrous or non-ferrous
  • Protection Duration – Short-term or long-term rust prevention
  • Environmental Conditions – High humidity, extreme temperatures, or seaworthy packaging
  • Surface Contamination – Clean, oiled, or residue-laden parts
  • Packaging Design – Individual, bulk, or export packaging
  • Cost Considerations – Optimized rust protection within budget

Best Practices for VCI Protection

  • VCI Coverage: VCI should cover at least ⅓ of the metal surface
  • Optimal Distance: VCI material should be within 300-400 mm (12-16 inches) of the metal
  • Vapor Access: Ensure free-flowing VCI vapor reaches all surfaces
  • Correct Side Placement: Always face the coated (unprinted) side of VCI paper/film towards metal
  • Sealing for Longevity: While airtight packaging is not mandatory, proper sealing enhances protection
