Recent Advancements in Anti-Corrosion Technologies
How Do Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) Work To Prevent Corrosion?
1. VCI Release: VCIs are typically incorporated into packaging materials, such as paper, film, or coatings. When these materials are exposed to air, the VCI molecules vaporize and fill the surrounding atmosphere.
2. VCI Shield: The vaporized VCI molecules form a monolayer on the metal surface, creating a protective shield that prevents oxygen, moisture, and other corrosive elements from coming into contact with the metal.
3. Corrosion Prevention: This protective shield blocks the corrosion process by preventing the necessary conditions for corrosion to occur: the presence of an oxidizing agent (such as oxygen) and an electrolyte (like water).
- Easy Application: VCIs can be easily applied to metal surfaces through packaging materials, eliminating the need for manual application of coatings or liquids.
- No Special Removal: Unlike traditional rust preventatives, VCIs do not require special removal procedures, reducing labor time and hazardous waste disposal fees.
- Multi-Phase Protection: VCIs can protect metal surfaces in multiple phases, including liquid, vapor, and interface, making them suitable for various applications[5].
- Environmental Benefits: Many VCI products are recyclable, water-based, or have a lower environmental impact compared to other harsh chemicals.

To ensure optimal protection, it is crucial to create a closed environment around the metal product. This can be achieved through the use of our specially engineered, multilayered coated woven fabrics, such as – AcmeiMet™ Heavy, AcmeiMet™ Lite, and AcmeiVCI™ Wrap. Our products are designed to protect against moisture, oils, and abrasion while also providing high tensile and tear strength. Additionally, they are UV-resistant and easy to handle, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
For automatic coil wrapping, we offer AcmeiCoil Wrap™ coated woven metal wrap, it provides a far superior and cost-efficient packaging solution as compared to VCI stretch film alone.
Benefits of Advanced Anti-Corrosion Technologies
The Advancements In Anti-Corrosion Technologies Have Numerous Benefits For Metal Packaging
1. Extended Product Life: By preventing corrosion, these technologies ensure that your metal products remain in excellent condition for a longer period, reducing the need for costly replacements and maintenance.
2. Transit Coat: VCI coating protects metal and most painted surfaces during domestic and international shipment transits. The transit coating will prevent damage from seawater, acid rain, insects, bird droppings, smoke, pollution, dirt, and debris.
3. Improved Product Safety: Corrosion can lead to product failure, which can result in accidents and injuries. Our anti-corrosion technologies ensure that your products are safe and reliable, reducing the risk of accidents.
4. Enhanced Product Performance: By protecting your metal products from corrosion, these technologies enable them to perform at their optimal level, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
5. Reduced Maintenance Costs: With extended product life and reduced maintenance needs, our anti-corrosion technologies can help reduce overall maintenance costs for your metal packaging.
