Does Corrugated Affect Corrosion & What Can You Do About It?

Posted on October 25, 2018
After opening a corrugated box to retrieve a spare part, you discover unexpected rust on the metal surface. The component was dry when packaged, and the box appears intact. Naturally, you begin to wonder: Does Corrugated Affect Corrosion? Corrugated boxes are one of the most common packaging materials used in industrial shipping and storage. They

Corrosion Prevention: When to Use VCI Diffusers with VCI Packaging

Posted on October 24, 2018
When evaluating VCI diffusers with VCI packaging, many manufacturers ask: Do I need both? While VCI films, bags, and paper provide reliable corrosion protection in sealed environments, certain applications require additional vapor support. Understanding when to combine Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging and VCI diffusers can prevent rust in large enclosures, complex assemblies, electrical panels,

VCI Poly vs VCI Paper? The Advantages and Disadvantages Explained

Posted on October 23, 2018
When comparing VCI Poly vs VCI Paper, it is important to understand how each material evolved and how performance differences affect real-world corrosion protection. Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors, or VCIs, have been used since the 1940s, but not all VCI delivery methods perform the same. This guide explains the advantages and disadvantages of VCI Poly vs

VCIs vs Desiccants. How do they Differ?

Posted on October 22, 2018
When evaluating VCI vs desiccants for corrosion protection, it’s important to understand the difference between VCI and desiccants, because moisture control and corrosion inhibition are not the same thing. While desiccants absorb humidity, Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) actively protect metal surfaces inside sealed packaging. Furthermore, choosing the wrong method can lead to rust, warranty claims,
