The automotive industry requires extremely high protection standards to preserve the integrity of mechanical, electronic and body components during production, storage and distribution. Corrosion represents the main enemy of automotive metallic materials, accelerated by environmental humidity and extreme climatic conditions that could occur during transport. Our integrated protection systems combine cutting-edge VCI anti-corrosive technologies with specialized environmental control for the automotive industry.

Our solutions cover the entire automotive supply chain: from the protection of mechanical components such as engines, transmissions, gears and braking systems, to electronic elements sensitive to humidity such as control units, sensors and wiring. With PROPATECH VCI systems, traditional oils and greases are completely eliminated, providing components immediately ready for assembly, while specialized desiccants preserve the effectiveness of all components during transport and storage.

PROPATECH VCI technology represents the most advanced solution for anti-corrosive protection in the automotive industry, approved by major global automotive manufacturers. Our coextruded VCI films, such as Propaskin VCI, perfectly adapt to the complex shapes of automotive components, providing uniform protection even in the most difficult-to-reach cavities. Propatech VCI films and Propasteel VCI have innovative characteristics compared to traditional films as they provide extremely high resistance with low thickness, reducing costs per square meter. These technologies are particularly effective for engine blocks, transmission components, suspension systems and all metallic elements that require long-term protection.

VCI papers are ideal as interposition between various layers of elements such as gears or as protection for wrapping metallic parts. VCI diffusers maintain constant protection during transport and storage, creating a protective microclimate that is important for extending protection over time.

Automotive components require rigorous protection from moisture, combined with anti-corrosive protection, to preserve functionality and reliability. Moisture can cause oxidation of metallic components and contacts in electronic parts, which could compromise vehicle safety. Propasec and Propasec Antistatic are specifically formulated to eliminate moisture that could damage metallic parts, integrated circuits, and delicate sensors.

Propasil with Tyvek® coating offers superior protection for control units, electronic modules, and high-tech components that require ultra-controlled environments. 

The automotive supply chain requires protection solutions that maintain component integrity during intercontinental transport and prolonged storage, all the way to destination. The PROPATECH VCI system combines products that offer superior mechanical resistance with anti-corrosive protection, ideal for large components such as frames, body panels and exhaust systems. Together with these VCI films, we recommend the use of desiccants and container desiccants, in order to eliminate residual moisture that can form inside plastic packaging as a result of thermal variations during transport. 

The integration of these technologies creates a total quality system that preserves automotive excellence from manufacturer to dealer, reducing defects, complaints and warranty costs.
