A VCI emitter is a device containing volatile corrosion inhibitors and is generally used inside a package to prevent corrosion on metals within the enclosed space. The effective, invisible layer of VCI protection keeps metal safe from the corrosive effects of moisture, salt, dirt, oxygen and other contaminants in the environment. Typically, our VCI emitters, are VCI foam emitters.
A VCI emitter works in the same simple way that VCI papers products work. When metals are wrapped or packaged, the chemicals volatilize in the packaging environment and form a protective molecular layer on the surface of the metal. This protective layer prevents moisture, salt, dirt, oxygen, and other materials from depositing on the metal and causing corrosion. Protective Packaging’s VCI emitters provide long lasting, effective protection against corrosion. They are safe, easy to use and clean, and provide flexible and economical corrosion protection for steel, copper, zinc, and multi-metals. Our VCI emitters are also non-toxic, odor-free, environmentally friendly and fully recyclable. Our VCI emitters come in various forms from foam to chipboard and can be used as emitters or as cushioning for sensitive products.
