AcmeiVCI™ is a patented formulation which ensures that your product remains oxidation proof by forming a uniform layer over the product ensuring product safety. We supply two varieties of VCI:
Liquid VCI
VCI granules
Corrosion is the natural process of ferrous metal trying to return to its original form of iron ore.
Corrosion also takes place in all metals in the same fashion (i.e., copper and nickel corrosion is in the form of "tarnish", aluminum corrosion is in the form of white rust or aluminum oxide, etc.).
Corrosion takes place due to air (oxygen) and water (moisture) attacking the surface of metal (known as oxidation) and creating the most common form of corrosion, known as rust.
Rust is a flaky substance that appears on the metal surface, which was once part of the metal, and is turned into iron oxide. This process is also referred to as oxidation.
AcmeiVCI Wrap™ technology is a safe, dry, MVS ACMEI patented chemical technology that halts the natural oxidation process.
VCI stands for "volatile corrosion inhibitor". This chemical process creates a monomolecular barrier of AcmeiVCI Wrap™ material across the surface of the metal, by way of its own chemical vapor emitted from the packaging material.
AcmeiVCI Wrap™ is a harmless, dry chemical, which is chemically attracted to the metal surface at the thickness of one molecule. This protects the metal surface from the penetration of moisture and oxygen stalling the natural corrosion process.
Corrosion protection is dependent on creating a 'closed environment' around the metal so that the Vorin vapor will permeate throughout the packaged material. If the package provides less coverage and is more 'open to the environment', then the less the vapor (or AcmeiVCI Wrap™ protection) will permeate the material and will simply go into the air, offering less protection. If the package provides more coverage and is 'closed to the environment', then AcmeiVCI Wrap™ will stay within the package boundaries and protect the metal.
