Why Do We Need VCI Additives, and What Are They?

Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when metals react with environmental elements like oxygen, moisture, and pollutants. These reactions lead to the deterioration of the metal, which causes it to lose its structural integrity and functionality. The consequences of corrosion are huge including economic losses, safety hazards, and reduced lifespan of the products. Our VCI additives address these issues by forming a protective barrier on metal surfaces, helping maintain the integrity and functionality of metal components, extending their lifespan and reducing overall maintenance costs. While plastics and polymers themselves do not corrode, they play a crucial role in preventing the corrosion of metals. When metals are packaged or stored with plastics, the use of VCI additives in the plastic material can create a protective environment that prevents the metal from corroding. This is particularly important in industries where metal components are frequently stored and transported, and the risk of corrosion is high.

Our VCI additive masterbatches are meticulously formulated using a blend of high-performance polymers and active VCI compounds. The composition being:

• High-Performance Polymers: These serve as carriers for the active VCI compounds, and ensure their uniform distribution throughout the material. The structure of the VCI additive masterbatch is designed to ensure a homogeneous distribution of VCI compounds within the polymer matrix, as this uniformity is critical to ensure consistent release and effective corrosion protection.
• Active VCI Compounds: These are the core components responsible for corrosion inhibition. They include a range of volatile organic compounds that sublimate at ambient conditions to form a protective layer on the metal surfaces.
• Additives and Stabilizers: These components are added to enhance the performance and stability of the masterbatches. They include UV stabilizers, and antioxidants to ensure optimal performance during manufacturing and end-use applications.

How do VCI Masterbatches work?

The measure of how effective the masterbatches are lies in their ability to release the volatile corrosion inhibitors. The following mechanism is usually known:

• Sublimation: The active VCI compounds are sublimated from the polymer matrix into the surrounding atmosphere. This process occurs at ambient temperatures and ensures continuous release of VCI molecules.
• Diffusion: These molecules then diffuse through the air and migrate towards the metal surface. This diffusion process is driven by the concentration difference between the VCI source and the metal surface.
• Adsorption: Once they reach the metal surface, they get adsorbed on the surface, forming a thin, protective layer, which inhibits the electrochemical reactions that cause corrosion.
• Formation of Protective Film: The adsorbed VCI molecules create a passivating film on the metal surface which acts as a barrier, preventing moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive agents from coming into direct contact with the metal.

Applications and Uses of VCI Additive Masterbatches

• Metal Protection: Primarily used for the protection of metal products during storage and transportation. The applications include metal sheets, pipes, tubes, wires, tools, Defense and Aerospace equipment parts, automotive components, and electronic components.
• Packaging Materials: They are widely used in the production of various packaging materials, including films and bags, stretch and shrink wraps, foams and cushions, boxes and cartons, mulch films, etc.
