Machined Casting & Gear Assembly VCI Bags 23x17x46 — 4 mil

Gusseted VCI bags manufactured with ARMOR Poly film for corrosion protection of metal components during inventory storage, in-process staging, and domestic or export shipment. The heat-sealable VCI poly film integrates anti-corrosion and barrier properties into a single-layer format, reducing packaging materials and labor compared to multi-step wrapping methods.

Specs: 23" x 17" x 46" | 4 mil | ARMOR Poly VCI Film | Heat Sealable | RL/100

Applications

• Machined casting and forging protection during storage and transit


• Transmission gear and drivetrain component corrosion prevention


• Hydraulic pump and valve body assembly packaging


• Automotive engine component storage between production runs


• Industrial hardware and fastener bulk packaging for export shipments


• In-process work-in-progress (WIP) metal part protection on production floors

Features

• ARMOR Poly VCI film provides combined anti-corrosion and barrier protection in one layer


• Heat-sealable construction for secure closure across standard impulse and bar sealer equipment


• Gusseted format expands to accommodate irregular and bulky component profiles


• 4 mil wall thickness resists puncture from machined edges and sharp casting surfaces


• Reduces material cost and labor versus multi-layer wrapping and desiccant alternatives


• Rolls of 100 for high-volume floor deployment and line-side dispensing

Material Notes

ARMOR Poly VCI film is formulated with high-tech resins and advanced extrusion technology to embed vapor corrosion inhibitors directly into the poly matrix. VCI molecules volatilize within the sealed enclosure and deposit on metal surfaces to passivate against oxidation. No direct contact with metal parts is required for protection to be effective.

Use Case Notes

The 23x17x46 footprint handles mid-size castings, gear housings, pump bodies, and similar shaped metal components that do not require pallet-scale packaging. The RL/100 format supports production line kitting and shipping dock applications where bags are consumed in moderate volume per shift.

Common Questions

Q: What metals does ARMOR Poly VCI protect?
A: ARMOR Poly VCI film is effective on ferrous metals including steel and cast iron, as well as aluminum and common non-ferrous alloys. Verify multi-metal compatibility with ARMOR technical data for mixed-metal assemblies.

Q: How long does protection last when sealed?
A: VCI protection remains effective for up to 24 months in a properly sealed enclosure under standard ambient storage conditions. Consult ARMOR application guidelines for humid or high-temperature environments.

Q: Can these be used for export packaging?
A: Yes. ARMOR Poly VCI is rated for domestic and international export shipments and is used across automotive, industrial, and defense supply chains for overseas transit corrosion control.

Why Buy

A cost-effective mid-size VCI solution for metalworking, automotive supply chain, and industrial packaging operations. The combined barrier-and-VCI construction eliminates the need for separate desiccants and rust inhibitor coatings, streamlining the packaging process for production and shipping floor teams.
