Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor Capsule

Features:

• VCI stands for “volatile corrosion inhibitor”

• In brief, the VCI method functions such that the VCI capsule slowly

emits a vapour and adheres to metal surfaces, interrupting the

electro-chemical action, commonly referred to as corrosion

• The condensed VCI molecules prevent corrosion, or reduce it to

a minimum on iron, steel, copper, brass and aluminium

Capsules works as follows:

• When one or more capsules are placed within an enclosure, the

vapours are dispersed to all the accessible surfaces by convection

• Then provide the protection described

• Two complete air changes a day are allowed for in the useful

life times

• In addition to capsules a range of tube strips are available
