Machined Part VCI Interleave Paper 12" x 12" Sheets
ARMOR WRAP VCI Paper Sheets provide volatile corrosion inhibitor protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metal components through direct contact and vapor-phase action. Coated on both sides, the 12" x 12" cut-sheet format is designed for interleaving between stacked or nested metal parts in shipping totes, export cartons, and long-term storage containers. At 1000 sheets per package, this product is suited for production-line and warehouse-scale metal protection workflows.
Specs: 12" x 12" | Dual-Sided VCI Coating | ARMOR WRAP Paper | 1000/Pkg | Military Approved
Applications
Used for interleaving between machined steel and cast iron parts in shipping cartons, layering between stamped metal blanks and die-cut components, wrapping small precision parts for export shipment, protecting bearing races, gear blanks, and threaded hardware in storage bins, and isolating dissimilar metals in multi-component kits. Effective for domestic shipment, export shipment, inventory storage, in-process operations, and long-term mothballing programs.
Features
Dual-sided VCI coating eliminates guesswork on the plant floor — either side placed against the metal surface activates protection. VCI compounds vaporize and adsorb onto metal surfaces, forming a continuous monomolecular barrier against moisture, oxygen, and corrosive agents. Sheets can be wrapped, folded, or laid flat as interleave layers. Environmentally safe, fully recyclable, repulpable, biodegradable, and non-toxic. Military approved formulation.
Material Notes
ARMOR WRAP VCI paper is a kraft-based substrate coated with ARMOR’s proprietary VCI compound on both sides. The dual coating ensures uniform corrosion protection regardless of paper orientation during application. Unlike oil-based rust inhibitors, VCI paper leaves no residue on metal surfaces and does not require degreasing before downstream machining or finishing operations.
Use Case Notes
The 12" x 12" format works well for parts that fit within a roughly 10" x 10" footprint when a single sheet is folded over one part, or for larger flat surfaces when used as a single-layer interleave between stacked components. For longer parts or larger surface coverage, multiple sheets can be overlapped. The 1000-sheet package count supports sustained production-line workflows without frequent reorder.
Common Questions
Q: How long does the VCI protection last after parts are wrapped?
A: Protection is effective for up to 24 months under normal storage conditions when parts are wrapped or enclosed with sufficient VCI paper. Protection duration depends on packaging tightness, ambient humidity, and air exchange rate around the parts.
Q: Does VCI paper protect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
A: ARMOR WRAP VCI paper is formulated for multi-metal protection, including ferrous metals (steel, cast iron) and many non-ferrous metals. Verify compatibility with specific alloys for critical applications.
Q: Do parts need to be cleaned before using VCI paper?
A: Parts should be free of cutting fluids, heavy oils, or contaminants that could interfere with VCI vapor distribution. Normal machined-surface cleanliness is sufficient — no special degreasing is required for most applications.
Why Buy
