VPCI Technology
VpCI® Technology & Solutions
VCI is the generic term for “volatile corrosion inhibitor,” “vapor corrosion inhibitor,” or “Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor,” a revolutionary technology that simplifies corrosion protection and is ideal for keeping enclosed void spaces (e.g., packages, equipment internals, or structural metal cavities) rust-free. We have trademarked our Cortec® brand of VCIs under the name VpCI® to help ensure our customers are getting the premium VCI products that are trusted globally.
How VpCI Works
Technically, VpCI® molecules arrange themselves parallel to one another and perpendicular to the metallic surface forming a monomolecular layer. This layer adsorbs to the metal, displaces the water molecules, and protects the metal from corrosion. Being a dipole allows the protection of both the anodic and cathodic components of the corrosion cell.
