What Causes Corrosion?Corrosion is an electrochemical process by which metals return back to their original state of ore. Metals have both high and low areas of energy. Some types of metal have more of these high and low energy areas. High energy areas are called anodes, while low energy areas are called cathodes. Corrosion forms when electrons flow from the anodes to the cathodes through an electrolyte such as water, rain, moisture or humidity. Even a relatively low humidity level, as low as 65%, can form an electrolyte. For metals that have a high number of anodes and cathodes, corrosion can result within a matter of minutes. For example, steel is a high energy metal. It also has a very porous surface, making it especially susceptible to corrosion. Rustop Technologies VCI products inhibit the electrochemical process, thereby protecting your costly parts. How Does VCI Work?Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors, also known as VpCI (vapor phase corrosion inhibitors), passivate the electrically charged metal by emitting a non-toxic chemical vapor, forming a molecular layer on the surface thereby inhibiting the flow of electrons from the anodes to the cathodes. This protective layer then halts the electrochemical process of corrosion. How Should VCI Be Used?Your metal parts should be protected with Rustop Technologies VCI from the production process through shipping and storage. Rustop Technologies VCI paper differs from some other VCI's because it is thoroughly impregnated with non-toxic corrosion inhibiting chemicals. This means that either side of the paper can be wrapped toward the part, eliminating and confusion on the part of plant employees.
