Vci Anti-Rust Film's Secret to Rust Prevention in Humid Transportation Environments

2026-02-03 11:38

During metal transportation, humid environments have always been one of the biggest threats to metal rust. Salt in the air during sea freight and the high humidity of tropical regions contribute to metal corrosion problems that put immense pressure on exporters every year. Addressing the concerns of most customers regarding their products during transportation, the use of  Vci Anti Rust Film's Secret to Rust Prevention in Humid Transportation Environments provides reliable protection for metal transport in harsh environments.

Humid‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ conditions: "Ghost killer" of metal transport

Salt and humid air at sea freight can cause metal goods to corrode 5-10 times faster compared to dry conditions. Traditional packaging methods such as simple plastic film or oil seals usually cannot be an efficient barrier during long-distance transportation, causing:

· Metal surfaces rust and corrosion

· Loss of the accuracy of precision parts

· Great decrease in product value

· Customer requests and claims problem


VCI Anti Rust Film


VCI Anti Rust Film is mainly characterized by:

1. All-around suitability for metals

Metals to which it is applicable: steel, iron, copper, aluminum, silicon steel, galvanized sheet, tinplate, etc.

Protection of the material combination: Packaging finished products or components containing different metals is especially nice.

2. Durable protective effect

Protection time: Rust is effectively prevented for up to 1-2 years

Adaptation to the environment: Keeps the protective effect even in an environment with a relative humidity of below 95%

3. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly characteristics

Non-toxic components: No nitrites, phosphates, or amines

Both certified by EU RoHS and REACH

Safe use in a closed room, no health risk for the operative.

4. User friendly

·Direct packaging, no additional rust prevention treatment needed

·Easy to identify packaging contents

·In line with the circular economy concept

Tested at the Place of Work - Southeast Asian Sea Freight Export

A hardware tool manufacturer used Vci Anti Rust Film's Secret to Rust Prevention in Humid Transportation Environments to package a batch of steel tools for export to Indonesia. After 45 days of sea freight (passing through high temperature and humidity environments), an unpacking inspection revealed:

· Metal surfaces remained in their factory condition, without any rust.

· The inside of the pack was dry and no moisture was detected.

· The tools didn't need to be sided cleaned as they were good to use after unpacking.

Vci Anti Rust Film's Secret to Rust Prevention in Humid Transportation Environments's design and manufacturing complies with:

EU Standards: Compliant with RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals)

German Technical Specifications: Meets TRGS615 and TRGS900 requirements

The safety and environmental requirements of the different major importing countries are met


Industry Tips:

To achieve maximum protection the following are very important:

Metal surface pretreatment: Be sure the metal surface is free of dirt and moisture before packaging.

Proper packaging with sealed edges: Six-sided sealed packaging is the best practice.

Environmental compatibility: Transportation duration and environment dictate the choice in anti-rust film ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌thickness.

Compatibility testing: For special surface treatments (such as electroplating and phosphating), we recommend conducting small-batch testing first.

Industry expert evaluation:

"In the current international trade environment, choosing protective packaging that meets international standards is not only a technical issue but also a commercial responsibility," commented an expert from the International Corrosion Protection Association. "VCI technology represents the development direction of metal protective packaging, balancing protective effect, ease of operation, and environmental protection requirements."
