VCI Packaging Solutions

Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging is an advanced anti-corrosion packaging technology designed to protect metals from rust during storage, shipping, and handling. VCI molecules evaporate and form a thin, invisible layer on metal surfaces, blocking moisture, oxygen, and salts. Unlike conventional rust preventive oils or greases that require cleaning before further processing, VCI packaging provides clean, dry, and long-term corrosion protection. Available as VCI films, VCI bags, VCI papers, and desiccants, these solutions offer easy application, cost efficiency, and reliability for both domestic and export corrosion protection.

At Lubeco Green Fluids, we specialize in high-performance VCI packaging solutions engineered for industrial and export applications. Our range includes VCI polymer films and bags (LUBECO VCI 360) known for superior clarity and strength, and bio-polymer compostable films and bags (LUBECO VCI 960) offering sustainable, non-toxic, and residue-free protection.

We also produce VCI papers and desiccants, providing versatile, eco-friendly, and cost-effective options for complete metal protection. With advanced formulations and consistent quality, Lubeco’s VCI solutions outperform traditional rust prevention methods by ensuring superior corrosion resistance and environmental compliance.
