Protect metal parts and components from corrosion without messy oils or greases. ARMOR Poly VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) Tubing provides clean, dry rust prevention for ferrous and non-ferrous metals during storage and shipping. The 3 mil low-density polyethylene film is infused with VCI molecules that vaporize and form an invisible protective layer on metal surfaces, blocking moisture and oxygen that cause corrosion. This 24-inch width tubing is ideal for protecting long metal parts, shafts, tubes, and machinery components without the mess and expense of traditional oil-based rust preventatives. VCI technology works by releasing corrosion-inhibiting molecules that settle on metal surfaces within an enclosed space, creating a molecular barrier against rust. Unlike oils and greases that require application, cleanup, and can attract contaminants, VCI tubing provides passive protection simply by enclosing the part. When the package is opened, the VCI molecules dissipate harmlessly, leaving the metal clean and ready to use with no residue to remove. This makes ARMOR VCI tubing particularly valuable for precision parts, finished components, and items that will go directly into assembly or use. Key Benefits: Eliminates need for oils, greases, and desiccants Clean, dry protection - no messy residue to remove Works on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals Compliant with major OEM specifications Recyclable LDPE film Easy heat-seal or twist-tie closure Protection lasts up to 2 years in typical conditions Specifications: 24" width | 3 mil thickness | LDPE with VCI additive | Sold by roll | ARMOR Poly brand Common Applications: Protecting machined shafts and spindles during storage, packaging hydraulic cylinders and pistons for shipment, preserving automotive driveshafts and axles, safeguarding bearing assemblies and precision components, wrapping steel tubing and pipe sections, storing valve bodies and pump housings, protecting finished metal parts between manufacturing and assembly. What is VCI tubing? VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) tubing is polyethylene film infused with molecules that vaporize inside a sealed package to form a protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing rust and corrosion without oils or coatings. How long does VCI protection last? ARMOR VCI tubing typically provides corrosion protection for up to 2 years when the package remains sealed and stored in typical warehouse conditions. Protection duration depends on seal integrity and environmental factors. Do I need to remove VCI residue before using parts? No. VCI molecules leave no residue on metal surfaces. When you open the package, the VCI vapors dissipate into the air, leaving parts clean and ready to use immediately with no cleaning required.
