How Does Vci Protect Brake Discs from Rusting During Transportation?

2025-08-29 15:34

Brake discs are exposed metal parts with large, smooth surfaces. Rust easily develops during transportation if exposed to humidity, rain, or condensation caused by temperature fluctuations. As a critical safety component, rust on the brake disc not only affects its appearance but can also affect performance, posing a significant risk to customers. So, what can be done?

How does clean type VCI paper protect brake discs?

Our clean type VCI paper contains special vapor phase rust inhibitor molecules that slowly release within the sealed packaging and evenly adhere to the brake disc surface, forming an invisible protective film. This film acts like an invisible barrier, blocking direct contact between moisture and oxygen, thus preventing rust. Unlike traditional oiling methods, clean type VCI paper prevents greasy residue from forming on the brake disc surface, eliminating the need for time-consuming and laborious cleaning before loading. It's incredibly convenient to use right out of the packaging.


Clean type VCI paper is also lightweight, clean, and flexible in packaging. It can be used to wrap individual brake discs or as a lining within shipping boxes, providing comprehensive protection for batches of brake discs. This is a real peace of mind for customers dealing with long shipping times and cross-border exports.



Which is better for automotive brake discs, clean type VCI paper or anti-rust film?

For automotive brake discs, clean type VCI paper and anti-rust film each have their advantages. Anti-rust paper is clean, environmentally friendly, and easy to use. It works simply by wrapping the brake disc. There's no need to worry about cleaning oil stains during transportation. After removing the clean type VCI paper, you can proceed directly to assembly, saving time and effort. Anti-rust film, on the other hand, offers stronger sealing and mechanical protection, providing a more robust exterior protection during long-distance transportation. It not only prevents rust, but also protects against dust and scratches.


So which is better? It really depends on the customer's needs. If the customer prioritizes ease of use and quick assembly, we would recommend clean type VCI paper. If the shipping period is particularly long, the environment is complex, or additional physical protection is required, we would also recommend anti-rust film. Many customers also choose a combination of "paper + film," placing the anti-rust paper directly in contact with the brake disc and then encapsulating it with anti-rust film. This dual protection helps prevent rust even more effectively.

What about actual customer feedback? 

A customer previously used rust-proof oil to protect their brake discs. However, during an export process, the discs, while not extensively rusted, were greasy. The customer's workers had to clean the oil while assembling the discs, resulting in very low efficiency and frequent complaints. Later, they switched to our barrier type vci paper, packaging the discs individually and packing them in boxes. When the goods arrived at their destination and were unpacked, the discs were still pristine, with no need for cleaning. This significantly saved them time and labor. Seeing our products truly help our customers is what we, as a professional manufacturer, truly strive to achieve.
