Product Description
VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) aluminum barrier foil is a type of packaging material that is designed to provide superior protection against corrosion for metal components and products during storage and transportation. The aluminum foil layer provides a barrier against moisture, gases, and other environmental factors, while the VCI chemicals provide additional corrosion protection. The VCI aluminum barrier foil is made by laminating a layer of aluminum foil to a layer of VCI film. The resulting material is flexible and can be formed into bags, pouches, and other types of packaging to suit various applications. The VCI chemicals work by releasing a vapor that forms a molecular barrier on the surface of the metal, which helps to prevent corrosion caused by moisture, oxygen, and other environmental factors. The benefits of using VCI aluminum barrier foil include excellent corrosion protection, moisture and gas barrier properties, and a long shelf life. It is also easy to use and can be customized to meet specific packaging requirements.
Exceptional Barrier PerformanceOur VCI Aluminum Barrier Foil ensures supreme moisture control with a WVTR of less than 0.05 g/m2/day. This guarantees even the most sensitive equipment or components stay protected against humidity, moisture, and gases, maintaining optimal condition throughout storage and shipping.
Long-Term Corrosion ProtectionSpecially formulated for long-term storage, this material offers corrosion protection for over two years. The VCI technology emits protective vapors that prevent metal oxidation, safeguarding your valuable assets during extended periods of transit or warehouse holding.
Flexible and Durable Packaging SolutionWith high tear strength and flexibility, the foil adapts seamlessly to diverse packaging needs. Its soft, annealed aluminum base is paired with a smooth, glossy finish for easy handling, while heat sealing ensures robust, tamper-evident closures across custom shapes and sizes.
FAQ's of VCI Aluminum Barrier Foil:
Q: How does the VCI Aluminum Barrier Foil protect items from corrosion?
A: The foil is coated with a Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) that continuously releases molecules, forming a protective layer on metal surfaces. Combined with its aluminum barrier, it blocks moisture, gases, and chemicals, offering corrosion protection for over two years.
Q: What industries typically use this barrier foil, and why is it suitable for them?
A: Industries such as electronics, heavy machinery, aerospace, and export sectors use this foil for its high barrier properties, exceptional tear strength, and long-term protection against corrosion and contaminants, making it ideal for critical or high-value shipments.
Q: When is the ideal time to use VCI Aluminum Barrier Foil for packaging?
A: This foil is best utilized during storage or transportation of corrosion-sensitive items, especially when long-term exposure or harsh environments are anticipated. It is highly recommended for export packaging where shipments endure extended transit or variable climates.
Q: Where can VCI Aluminum Barrier Foil be sourced or customized?
A: As a distributor, exporter, importer, and supplier in India, we offer this foil in custom sizes, widths up to 1500 mm, and thicknesses from 0.06 to 0.20 mm, complete with optional custom printing and finishes as per individual order requirements.
Q: What is the process for sealing and packaging with this foil?
A: The foil is designed for heat sealing, ensuring airtight, secure packaging. Users simply cut to required size, fill with contents, and seal the edges using standard heat-sealing equipment, resulting in a robust, tamper-resistant pack.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing this foil over traditional packaging materials?
A: This foil delivers superior moisture and chemical resistance, excellent tear strength, flexible application options, and long-lasting corrosion protection. Its metallic finish also reflects up to 85% of radiant energy, further preserving contents.
