PROPATECH VCI TABLET
Anti-corrosion tablets
A concentrate of protection: high-density VCI tablets for confined spaces and automatic packaging.
PROPATECH VCI TABLETS are anti-corrosive tablets with ultra-high VCI concentration designed to provide superior protective power in a compact format. These small but powerful solutions release inhibitor molecules that completely saturate the interior of packaging, offering long and constant sublimation that protects metal products from corrosion for extended periods. Their concentrated formulation makes them particularly effective for integrating and enhancing the action of traditional PROPATECH VCI products, creating multi-layer anti-corrosive protection, without powder release.
The main advantage of VCI TABLETS is their positioning versatility thanks to their compact size that allows them to be placed in the most hidden spots and hard-to-reach areas, where other VCI systems cannot reach effectively. They are the ideal solution for protecting bags or small containers with metallic content, and are perfect for automatic packaging thanks to the ease of dosing and application. This characteristic makes them particularly appreciated in industry for high-speed production lines where precise, rapid and effective anti-corrosive protection is needed without slowing down operational processes. Their long-lasting action offers reliable protection even for prolonged storage and intercontinental shipments.
Problems solved by this product
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.

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.
The quantity of VCI to be used in order to effectively protect goods against corrosion depends on many factors, being the most relevant: shipping time, external conditions (e.g. by sea, by land), and type of product. We strongly recommend to contact us in order to determine the most efficient solution and design the most appropriate package.
It is very important to wear protective gloves as skin acidity can start oxidation of metal.
Anticorrosive diffusers, also when combined with common anticorrosive systems such as VCI paper and films, are an excellent solution for protecting metal items and machines from rust during transportation and storage.
The following are the diffusers that are available:
• Mobile Noxy diffuser with mini tablets is applied inside the packaging and is activated a few hours prior to departure. Its activation results in the release of protective vapors every time the transport vehicle moves.
• Propatablets are tablets of compressed powder that can be placed in the most hidden points.
• Pill Bags are bags of mini tablets used to increase the protection of packaging that is already protected with VCI papers.
• Impregnated sponges are ideal for protecting metals such as iron, brass, copper, steel, and bronze.
Corrosion is a chemical reaction between a metal and its environment which results in a gradual destruction of metal and degradation of its properties.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
