VCI Stretch Films
Compostable
VCI Stretch Films
Stretch wrap or films containing VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) are a form of packing material used to protect metal parts and equipment against rust and corrosion during storage and shipment. These films contain unique compounds that emit vapors to build a protective coating on the metal surface, preventing the formation of rust and corrosion. Stretch wrap and films are simple to apply and remove, and they are an excellent way to protect metal parts against rust and corrosion in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
The VCI stretch wrap works by producing a corrosion-inhibiting vapor. The vapor is drawn to the metal surface and forms a protective layer there. The protective coating functions as a barrier, keeping moisture and air away from the metal surface. Because moisture and air are the primary sources of rust and corrosion, the VCI stretch wrap effectively prevents rust and corrosion by keeping them from coming into contact with the metal surface.
The VCI stretch wrap is intended to be used directly on the metal surface. This guarantees that the vapors and chemicals are released close to the metal, offering the best protection. Wrap the wrap securely around the metal product to prevent air or moisture from coming into touch with the metal surface.
VCI Stretch Films characteristics
Maximum Cling
Wraps around porcelain, glass, ceramic, steel, and certain plastic containers to secure food without the inconvenience of film entanglement. It also has good film-to-film clinginess.
Tear and Puncture Resistant
Maximum security around sharp corners and edges is provided by high tear resistance.
superior stretchability
maximizes the stretch potential of each piece of machinery for excellent yield.
Anti Corrosion
VCI Stretch Film offers anti-corrosion protection by creating a barrier that shields metal surfaces from rust and degradation during transport and storage.
Rust Preventive
VCI Stretch Film provides rust preventive capabilities, safeguarding metal items by creating a protective barrier against corrosion during storage and transport.
No Spillage
The film provides a secure seal for food containers, guaranteeing spill-free storage and preservation.
Force of Holding or Containment
Our solution provides consistent containment force for heavy palletized goods and a higher holding force when compared to cast films.
100% Recyclable & Eco-Friendly
Polyethylene is easily recycled, without releasing any harmful substances into the environment.

Application of VCI Stretch Films
The use of VCI stretch films is simple and straightforward. First, the metal part or equipment is carefully cleaned and dried. The VCI stretch film is then wrapped over the metal portion, covering the full surface area. The film is carefully stretched to ensure that it clings tightly to the metal surface, and any surplus film is cut away.
VCI stretch films come in a number of widths and thicknesses, making them ideal for a wide range of metal parts and equipment. They can safeguard everything from minor components to huge machines.
The adaptability of VCI stretch films is one of their key features. They can be employed in a variety of industries, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, and marine. They are also widely utilized in the packing and transportation of metal parts and equipment.
Another advantage of VCI stretch films is their simplicity of application. Unlike typical rust protection treatments such as oiling or greasing, VCI stretch films are clean and simple to apply. They also leave no residue on the metal surface, saving time and effort when cleaning and prepping the metal item for use.
