Rust preventive paper incorporates volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) into the paper substrate or coating. These inhibitors vaporize and form a protective layer/barrier around metal surfaces, preventing moisture and oxygen from coming into contact with the metal and causing corrosion.
Rust preventive paper provides effective protection against various types of corrosion, including rust, tarnish, and oxidation, on ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as steel, iron, aluminum, and copper.
It can be used in a wide range of applications, including packaging, shipping, storage, and export packaging. It is suitable for protecting metal parts, components, tools, machinery, equipment, and finished products from corrosion in diverse environments, including indoor and outdoor storage facilities, warehouses, and shipping containers.
Other than paper, it is also available in bags / films form.
