Steel Parts Long-Term Corrosion VCI Bags 14x10x19 -- 2 mil | 500
These 14" x 10" x 19" gusseted VCI bags are manufactured from ARMOR Poly film — a high-tech resin engineered with Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) compounds that protect ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces from rust and corrosion without coatings, oils, or desiccants. The gusseted format provides added capacity for bulkier machined parts, assemblies, and hardware components requiring long-term corrosion protection in storage or export conditions.
Specs: 14" x 10" x 19" (W x Gusset x L) | 2 mil | ARMOR Poly VCI Film | 500/Case
Applications
- Precision machined parts and steel sub-assemblies for long-term inventory storage
- In-process metal components between manufacturing and finishing operations
- Export shipment of ferrous hardware to humid or salt-air environments
- Replacement parts packaging for industrial OEM dealers and distributors
- Automotive and heavy equipment spare parts protection during transit and warehousing
Features
- ARMOR Poly VCI film — combined barrier protection and active corrosion inhibition in a single film
- VCI compounds vaporize inside the sealed bag to form a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces
- Gusseted 14x10x19 format provides capacity for bulkier parts that flat bags cannot accommodate cleanly
- Heat sealable for fully enclosed, contamination-free packages
- No oils, desiccants, or secondary coatings required — clean, dry corrosion protection
- Reduces material and labor cost versus traditional rust-preventive oil treatments
Material Notes
These bags are made from ARMOR Poly VCI film — a polyethylene-based film compounded with Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor chemistry using high-tech resin and extrusion technology. The VCI compounds continuously vaporize within the sealed bag, adsorbing onto metal surfaces and forming an invisible molecular barrier against moisture, oxygen, and chloride attack. The barrier properties of the film provide a first line of defense; the VCI chemistry provides active protection for surfaces not in direct contact with the film.
Use Case Notes
The 14x10x19 gusseted format is designed for parts that require more depth than a flat bag provides — gear assemblies, shaft and bearing sets, valve bodies, and multi-component kits. These bags are appropriate for domestic storage and international export shipments where parts may be in transit for extended periods. For export applications, heat-sealing the bag provides additional moisture exclusion in high-humidity sea-freight conditions.
Common Questions
Q: How long do VCI bags protect metal parts?
A: Protection duration depends on seal integrity, part geometry, and environmental conditions. In a properly sealed bag, VCI film typically provides corrosion protection for 12–24 months under normal warehousing conditions. For extended storage, inspect seal integrity and consider over-bagging for outdoor or high-humidity environments.
Q: Are these bags reusable?
A: VCI bags can be reused if they have not been sealed and the film is undamaged. Once heat-sealed and opened, the VCI chemistry begins to deplete. For critical long-term protection applications, fresh bags are recommended for each use cycle.
Q: Do these bags work on aluminum and non-ferrous metals?
A: ARMOR Poly VCI is effective on ferrous metals (steel, cast iron) and many non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper. Consult the ARMOR product data sheet for specific metal compatibility if protecting mixed-metal assemblies.
Why Buy
These 14x10x19 VCI gusseted bags provide comprehensive corrosion protection for mid-size and bulky metal parts without the mess, cleanup time, or environmental cost of rust-preventive oils. The 500-count case supports high-volume parts packaging operations in manufacturing, distribution, and export workflows. ARMOR Poly VCI film delivers the combined barrier and active inhibition protection required for long-term inventory and export shipment applications.
