Description
Aluminium barrier foils are an excellent solution that limits the penetration of water vapour (WVTR) and oxygen (OTR) into the package, which helps extend the shelf life of products. They allow vacuum packing and heat sealing, as well as long-term storage of goods without the risk of losing their original properties. These materials are available as three-dimensional covers (3D) for machines, sheets or flat bags (2D) for packing parts, and as pallet liners. They are intended to protect products made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including timber, steel, machines, furniture and agricultural equipment, and are used mainly in industry.
Main product features:
RUST-X VCI barrier foil – main features
- Highly tight aluminium barrier – limits the penetration of water vapour (WVTR) and oxygen (OTR) into the package.
- Active VCI corrosion protection – the VCI inhibitors in the foil create an invisible protective layer on the metal surface that limits corrosion.
- Protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals – intended among others for steel, iron, aluminium and other metal items.
- A sealed package can be made – the foil can be heat sealed, and the finished package can also be vacuumed.
- For long-term storage and transport – especially for machines, parts and equipment that need protection against moisture and corrosion.
- High mechanical resistance – the multilayer construction provides good strength and barrier properties.
- Available in various constructions – the manufacturer lists, among others, the VCI Metal Barrier, VCI Albar Scrim, VCI Albar Foil and VCI Albar Fabric variants and an antistatic version.
- Various grammages – depending on the variant, from about 100 to 200 g/m².
- Can be supplied as a sheet, 2D bag, 3D cover or pallet liner/cover.
What is it used for?
RUST-X VCI barrier foil is used for long-term protection of machines, equipment, parts and metal structures against corrosion during transport and storage.
It creates a sealed environment that limits the access of moisture and oxygen, while VCI technology actively protects metal surfaces against corrosion. As it can be made into a sealed, heat-sealed and vacuum package, it can be used to protect machines, engines, steel parts, industrial equipment, structures, exported items and products intended for long-term storage.
In short:
ALUMINIUM BARRIER + VCI + SEALED PACKAGE = PROTECTION AGAINST MOISTURE, OXYGEN AND CORROSION.
