PROPATECH VCI PAPER
Double-sided anticorrosive paper
Double-action anticorrosive protection: specialized paper for separation and preservation of metal products.
The double-sided PROPATECH VCI PAPER anticorrosive paper represents the ideal solution to protect metal products from corrosion during transport and storage, thanks to its dual capacity to release anticorrosive molecules. This paper is impregnated with volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) that sublimates from both sides, creating an invisible protective layer that deposits on metal surfaces and neutralizes aggressive environmental agents such as water vapor, saline atmosphere and industrial pollutants.
The main advantage of this double-sided paper is its versatility of use as a separator between different layers of metal products, offering simultaneous protection on both contact surfaces. It completely eliminates the risk of oxidation and corrosion during prolonged storage periods, can be used in combination with VCI film to enhance protective effectiveness, and leaves no oily residues that would require subsequent cleaning operations. The paper is particularly effective for lining crates, for automotive components, steel coils, machinery and metal products of all kinds, providing products that are always clean and ready to use at the time of unpacking.
The PROPATECH VCI papers are available in different weights and in the form of rolls (also with pre-cutting), formats or bags. 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.
Some anticorrosive VCI products, like paper and certain films, work well in contact with the material to be protected, whereas VCI diffusers, for example, do work at a distance in order to saturate the inside of packaging with the VCI substance and protect the goods against corrosion attacks. VCI products are very often used together to protect metals both in contact and at a distance and to better preserve their quality over time.
VCI anticorrosive products can be stored for up to a year and a half, but they must be kept sealed in the original package and not opened.
Double-sided and poly-coated papers
VCI papers are the ideal solution for protecting and preventing rust on metals during shipping. The Turin-based company Propagroup offers two types of anticorrosive paper: Double-sided and poly-coated. The advantage of double-sided papers is that they have protective substances on both sides, and they are suitable to be used between two different layers of material. The poly-coated papers, instead, are manufactured by applying a layer of polyethylene, which prevents the loss of the protective substance. Lastly, Propagroup also offers pouches made of VCI paper, which allow fast packing for products with small dimensions.
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.
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.
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.
VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) can be used for all products that need a corrosion protection inside the packaging such as steel coils, automotive spare parts, engines, complete machineries and all kind of metal parts.
VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor.
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.
