VCI Films
Daubert Cromwell's VCI films protect metals during storage and shipping. These polyethylene films release corrosion inhibitors that form a molecular barrier on metal surfaces. Available in custom sizes, they safeguard ferrous, non-ferrous, and multi-metal components against oxidation for years.
VCI Paper
VCI papers prevent rust on metal parts during transit and storage. They are available in grades for ferrous, silver, copper, and aluminum. The papers are recyclable, heat-resistant, and can be converted into wraps or liners for tailored protection.
VCI Emitters
VCI emitters and devices protect recessed areas in enclosed spaces. They come as pouches, chips, or foam and release inhibitors to prevent corrosion in hard-to-reach zones. Ideal for enhancing protection in existing packaging or specialized applications.
Rust Removers
Our rust removers safely eliminate corrosion from metal surfaces. Water-based solutions like Nox-Rust are used for cleaning parts before storage or shipment. They are effective in industrial settings and compatible with environmental safety standards.
Military Packaging
Military-grade VCI products meet strict specifications like MIL-PRF-3420. These include papers, films, and bore tubes for protecting firearms and equipment. Products are listed on the U.S. Department of Defense Qualified Products List for long-term corrosion resistance.
Questions
