Why Do Export Companies Choose VCI Steel Wrap Protected Steel?

In the process of steel export, rust often occurs in long-distance shipping and cross-border storage. Rust in steel will affect product quality, and there may also be risks such as customer rejection or claims. Now more and more export companies choose VCI steel wrap to protect steel, so why do more and more export companies choose VCI steel wrap to protect steel? Let's take a look together!

Introduction of VCI steel wrap:

VCI steel wrap is a functional packaging material that incorporates a gas phase rust inhibitor. Anti-rust particles can be continuously released in a confined space. These particles diffuse to every corner of the packaging, forming a protective film on the metal surface, which can effectively block the erosion of the metal by moisture and oxygen. This kind of protection does not require direct contact, and it can also achieve comprehensive coverage for parts of complex shapes.

Advantages of VCI steel wrap:

The anti-rust protection provided by VCI steel wrap is comprehensive and very long-lasting, and can reach gaps and holes that are difficult to cover with traditional anti-rust oils. Compared with oiling and rust prevention, VCI steel wrap can keep the product clean, and it can be used directly without cleaning after unpacking, saving subsequent processing. And the packaging process is simple and fast, which can improve work efficiency and reduce environmental pollution, which is in line with the environmental protection concept of modern industry.

Why do export companies choose VCI steel wrap protected steel?

VCI film for steel can cope well with the high salt and humidity environment of maritime transportation. During the transportation of steel by sea, it has been in the air with high salt content and high humidity, which will speed up the rate of corrosion. VCI film for steel continuously releases anti-rust components to form a stable protective layer on the metal surface, which can provide continuous protection for steel.

What overseas customers want to receive is clean products that can be directly put into production or sold. Traditional anti-rust oil will leave an oil film on the surface, which requires additional cleaning procedures. The products under VCI film for steel protection have no oil and no residues, and can be used when they are opened, which improves customer satisfaction and experience.

Many countries have strict environmental protection and safety standards for imported products. The VCI film for steel we produce is safe and environmentally friendly, does not contain restricted substances such as nitrites and phosphates, and its safety complies with the EU ROHS Directive and REACH regulations, and there will be no risk of customs clearance delays due to non-compliance with packaging materials.

VCI film for steel storage method:

In order to ensure the anti-rust effect of VCI film for steel, care should be taken when storing: store in a dry, ventilated and cool warehouse, do not let direct sunlight or be in a high temperature state, and stay away from corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, organic solvents, etc. To prevent the membrane body from being damaged. Do not put heavy pressure on the packaged VCI film for steel to prevent damage to the membrane body and affect the sealing.

Conclusion:

VCI film for steel can solve many problems in compliance with regulations, quality, transportation, and cost of exported steel, and is chosen by more and more export companies. CVCI's VCI film for steel meets international standards and can also provide customized services to meet the diverse needs of export companies.
