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.
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.
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.
VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor.
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.
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.
It is very important to wear protective gloves as skin acidity can start oxidation of metal.
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.
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.
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.
