Machine-Grade VCI (Anti-Rust) Stretch Film
Our machine-grade VCI (Vapor / Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) stretch film is engineered with high-tech corrosion inhibitors that create a molecular protective layer on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. It is the industry standard for wrapping steel tubes, metal coils, and fabricated parts, eliminating the need for messy protective oils and preventing rust and tarnish during long-term storage or maritime transport on automated horizontal wrappers.
- Up to 3:1 Stretch Ratio (Power pre-stretch ready)
- Superior Load Holding Force for Long Loads
- Self-Healing "VCI Cloud" Protection
- Standard Blue Tint (Easy identification of VCI)
Machine Compatibility & Regional Specs
Maritime Export
Essential for sea-freight transit where high salinity and humidity would otherwise cause immediate oxidation on bare metal.
Precision Parts
Protects brake rotors, transmissions, and engine blocks without the mess of protective sprays - parts arrive "install-ready."
TL 8135-0043 Grade 3
Certified to German Test Method TL 8135-0002, guaranteeing a Grade 3 (Good) vapor inhibiting ability and rust protection effect.

Engineering FAQ: VCI Anti-Rust Film Specifications
What is the passivation mechanism of Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) film on ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
VCI stretch film is co-extruded with proprietary chemical compounds that vaporize and condense onto the packaged metal surfaces. These volatile molecules form an invisible, monomolecular passivation layer that physically interrupts the electrochemical oxidation process (rusting) by repelling moisture and neutralizing corrosive electrolytes present in the trapped air.
How does extreme machine pre-stretch affect the vapor-emitting properties of VCI stretch film?
Our VCI films are formulated with a high-density molecular matrix that supports a 3:1 (300%) power pre-stretch ratio. Even at maximum elongation, the LLDPE cast structure maintains sufficient polymer density to trap the "VCI Cloud" inside the palletized environment, ensuring continuous vapor emission and metal passivation without prematurely venting the active chemicals into the warehouse.
Is VCI stretch film certified for long-duration maritime export and high-salinity logistics?
Yes. Our heavy-duty VCI resins (90-to-100 gauge) are specifically engineered for intercontinental maritime transit. They meet or exceed the performance parameters of German Test Method TL 8135-0002 (Grade 3), providing a robust vapor barrier that protects sensitive steel coils and engine components against extreme humidity, condensation, and airborne salt chlorides for up to 12-24 months.
Do metal parts require degreasing or solvent cleaning after being unpacked from VCI stretch film?
No. A primary operational advantage of VCI technology is the elimination of messy cosmoline, heavy grease, or transit oils. The monomolecular VCI layer dissipates entirely into the atmosphere immediately upon unwrapping, leaving the metal components clean, dry, and immediately ready for installation, painting, or welding.
