Bearing & Precision Machined Parts VCI Bags 8x10 — 4 mil
Flat VCI bags in an 8x10 footprint for individual or batch packaging of bearings, precision machined components, and small metal parts requiring corrosion protection during inventory storage, in-process staging, or domestic and export shipment. ARMOR Poly VCI film integrates anti-corrosion and barrier properties in a heat-sealable single-layer format, eliminating the need for separate desiccants or rust-inhibiting coatings.
Specs: 8" x 10" | 4 mil | ARMOR Poly VCI Film | Heat Sealable | CS/1000
Applications
- Ball bearing and roller bearing individual packaging for storage and kitting
- Precision turned and milled part protection between operations
- Automotive brake hardware and caliper component packaging
- Small valve, fitting, and coupling corrosion prevention
- Fastener and hardware kit packaging for export shipments
- In-process WIP metal part protection on production floors
Features
- ARMOR Poly VCI provides combined corrosion inhibition and barrier protection in a single film layer
- Heat-sealable construction compatible with standard impulse and bar sealer equipment
- 4 mil wall thickness provides puncture and abrasion resistance for machined metal surfaces
- Open-end format for fast manual or semi-automated loading
- High-count case of 1,000 supports production floor and shipping dock volume requirements
- Reduces packaging cost and labor compared to oil coating plus poly wrap alternatives
Material Notes
ARMOR Poly VCI film is manufactured with high-tech resins and precision extrusion technology to embed vapor corrosion inhibitors directly into the poly matrix. VCI molecules volatilize within the sealed enclosure and passivate metal surfaces without direct contact. Effective on ferrous metals and most non-ferrous alloys.
Use Case Notes
The 8x10 format is well-suited for single bearings, small machined components, and precision hardware kits. The 4 mil wall handles routine handling abuse on production and shipping floors without the puncture risk that would compromise thinner VCI films when loaded with metal parts.
Common Questions
Q: What metals does ARMOR Poly VCI protect?
A: ARMOR Poly VCI is effective on ferrous metals (steel, cast iron) and most non-ferrous metals including aluminum, copper alloys, and zinc. Consult ARMOR technical data for mixed-metal assemblies requiring protection against galvanic corrosion.
Q: Do the parts need to be cleaned before bagging?
A: Best practice is to bag clean, dry parts. VCI is most effective on surfaces free of existing corrosion, oils, or machining fluid residue. Parts packaged with coolant contamination may have reduced protection effectiveness.
Q: Can these bags be used for export shipments?
A: Yes. ARMOR Poly VCI is designed for domestic and export applications and is used across automotive and industrial supply chains for long-duration overseas transit protection.
Why Buy
A high-volume, cost-effective VCI packaging option for metalworking, bearing distribution, and precision parts operations. The CS/1000 case count supports sustained production line usage, and the combined VCI-plus-barrier construction consolidates corrosion protection into a single packaging step.
