PROPATECH VCI PAPER
Polyethylene-laminated anticorrosive paper
Enhanced anticorrosive protection: waterproof barrier that concentrates VCI action inside the packaging.
The polyethylene-laminated PROPATECH VCI PAPER is an advanced anticorrosive paper made by applying a polyethylene layer to the base paper impregnated with VCI molecules. This innovative combination creates a dual protective function: the polyethylene acts as a waterproof barrier against external atmospheric agents (humidity, rain, condensation) and simultaneously concentrates the emission of anticorrosive substances exclusively inside the packaging, preventing any external dispersion and maximizing protective effectiveness.
The main advantage of this technology is the optimization of anticorrosive action thanks to the drastic reduction of dispersions. The polyethylene-laminated paper solves deterioration problems caused by external humidity and provides prolonged protection even in severe environmental conditions. It is particularly suitable for long-term shipments, storage in humid environments and for all cases where total protection from corrosion and atmospheric agents is necessary. The result is perfect metal preservation with maximum product economy and zero waste of active ingredient.
The PROPATECH VCI PAPER papers comply with TRGS 615 standard and are recyclable.
Problems solved by this product
VCI is a complex combination of substances which sublimate and form a thin invisible layer able to neutralise corrosive agents, such as water vapour, oxygen, salty air, sulfur-based gases, and polluting agents commonly present in the air.
Products for VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) protection are used, during shipments and storage, to preserve and protect metals against corrosion. Propagroup has figured out and developed products for VCI protection, helping companies to preserve goods quality for a long time. The anticorrosive VCI products guarantee quality perseverance of shipped and stored materials, no claims for oxidation, considerable saving and big customer satisfaction. Propagroup created Propatech VCI system that, thanks to the reduction or even elimination of use of oil and greases, guarantees that the product remains intact, clean and ready-to-use. Propatech VCI doesn't leave traces and it is not dangerous, this is very important for protection, preservation, safety and saving. Propagroup is leader to solve problems of corrosion, humidity and impacts of goods during transport. Propatech VCI product range for metal protection includes the following products:
Papers, double face and polythene anticorrosion products, in addition to rolls, sheets and bags;
Films, anticorrosion plastic materials like Propatech VCI film, Propaskin, Propasteel, Propastretch and Propabol;
Emitters and diffusers of VCI substances like Propatech VCI Noxy, foams, tablets and anticorrosive pill bags.
There are different types of VCI depending on metal to protect.
Anticorrosion protection
To ensure proper protection of metal goods during the transportation phases, it is necessary for the packing to be made with suitable anticorrosion products. Propagroup is the leader in designing and developing antioxidant treatments able to effectively resolve the various problems of companies that transport and store metal goods, offering valid and safe anti-rust treatments in the Italian and international markets.
Antioxidant films, paper, and bags
Propagroup has launched on the market VCI anticorrosion packing items to guarantee adequate protection of metals. The most-used products are: paper; shrink films; bags; and covers for protecting metal automotive components such as engine blocks, transmissions, gearboxes, and brake discs, as well as steel coils, entire machines, and metal products in general.
Completely recyclable items
Continuous investments in research and development combined with the expertise and professionalism acquired over more than 40 years in the market have allowed us to expand our market not only in Italy and Europe, but all over the world. The packing we offer is ideal for solving any problem regarding corrosion, humidity, or condensate, and also includes many anti-impact products. We operate in full respect of the environment, and we develop completely recyclable products that are entirely compliant with all environmental laws, regulations, and standards applicable to companies.
Corrosion is a chemical reaction between a metal and its environment which results in a gradual destruction of metal and degradation of its properties.
Anticorrosive VCI products used in the packaging are not dangerous for the health of people because VCI is a physiologically inactive substance. Any problem of eye or skin irritation have been found in people that directly worked with packagings treated with VCI. In any case, because VCI is a chimical substance, is suggested the use of gloves when in contact with the anticorrosive packaging. We also suggest to always ask for the safety data sheet to our customer care before using anticorrosive Propatech VCI products for your packagings.

It is very important to wear protective gloves as skin acidity can start oxidation of metal.
VCI is a volatile substance so, once the packaging is opened, it volatilize from metal in one or two hours and it will not leave resuduals.
Yes, it is possible to manufacture paper impregnated with VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors). VCI paper is a product that is very useful for solving the problem of corrosion during the transportation and storage of goods. Propagroup is specialized in the manufacture of VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper, which is a crucially important product for eliminating harmful agents that can ruin metals. Propagroup handles the design, production, and marketing of systems for protecting products during transportation and storage; all of our solutions have been very successful, because they do not pollute, do not dirty, and are ready to use and very practical.
It is not necessary, as PROPAGROUP VCI film and paper leave no residuals on goods. In fact, because of the absence of oil and grease, PROPATECH VCI is one of the client’s favourite products: they receive a qualitatively perfect, clean and ready to use product.
The chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment that produces a deterioration of the material and its properties.
Diffusion is the volatile distribution of VCI molecules into the packaging.
PROPATECH VCI products for the protection against corrosion are free from nitrites.
Nitrites are made of a nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms negatively charged and it can be found in some anticorrosive VCI products on the market. Its presence has to be allowed and declared from the producer.
A corrosion reaction in which the corroded metal forms an oxide; usually applied to reaction with a gas containing elemental oxygen, such as air.
Transformation from a solid to a gaseous state of VCI molecules starting from the protective material (paper, film, diffusers, foams, etc...).
VCI is a Volatil Corrosion Inhibitor that can sublimate, from a solid to a gas state, and form a thin invisible layer able to neutralize corrosive agents such as: water vapour, oxygen, saline atmosphere, sulphurous gases and the most common industrial environmental pollutants present in the air.
The Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor is a chemical substance that inhibits electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen.
