ZERUST® ICT®420-170 VCI Chips are 1” x 1” squares of pH-neutral, non-abrasive 170# kraft paper, saturated with invisible, odorless, non-toxic vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs). They provide corrosion protection for metal surfaces, especially in hard-to-reach areas, during storage, shipping, and work-in-progress.

Product Description
Product Description
ZERUST® ICT®420-170 VCI Chips are easy to use, as they can be dispersed throughout bulk packages of metal parts while tightly sealing the packaging or enclosure to trap the protective vapors inside, providing cost-effective corrosion protection during work-in-progress, shipping, and storage.
The VCI Chips are bio-based, as well as sourced from responsibly managed forestry product suppliers. It’s fully recyclable, biodegradable, repulpable, and saturated on both sides with invisible, odorless, and non-toxic Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Technology (VCI). As a result, these VCI molecules diffuse from the chips and settle onto exposed metal surfaces inside the packaging or enclosure. Once removed, the VCI will dissipate from the metal surface, allowing immediate painting, welding, or further processing. For additional protection in challenging environments, ICT®420-170 may be used with ZERUST® VCI poly packaging, or rust inhibitors, preventatives, and coatings products. Whether in storage or transit, ZERUST®/EXCOR® ICT®420-170 VCI Chips deliver unparalleled performance.
