INTODUCTION

The anti-corrosion paper is also called Volatile (Vapor) Corrosion Inhibitor paper which is a
kraft packaging paper manufactured by inculcating VCI chemistry on the one side of wrapping
paper. This paper is specially crafted to form an invisible and thin molecular (chemical-based)
Layer over the metal surface.

A volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) is a material that protects metals from corrosion. V.VCI is

also called Vacuum VCI meaning they have special properties of performance in vacuum as well
as corrosion protection properties.

 Corrosion inhibitors are chemical compounds that can decrease the corrosion rate of a material,

typically a metal or an alloy. NACE International Standard TM0208 defines volatile corrosion
inhibitor (VCI) as a chemical substance that acts to reduce corrosion by a combination
of volatilization from a VCI material, vapor transport in the atmosphere of an enclosed
environment, and condensation onto surface in the space, including absorption, dissolution,
and hydrophobic effects on metal surfaces, where the rate of corrosion of metal surfaces is
thereby inhibited.

They also called vapor-phase inhibitors, vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors, and vapor-transported
corrosion inhibitors.
 
VCIs come in various formulations that are dependent on the type of system they will be used in;
for example, films, oils, coatings, cleaners, etc. There are also variety of formulations that
provide protection in ferrous, nonferrous, or multi-metal applications. Other variables include the
amount of vapor phase compared to contact phase inhibitors . Because they are volatile at
ambient temperature, VCI compounds can reach inaccessible crevices in metallic structures.

HISTORY
The first wide scale use of VCIs can be traced to Shell's patent for dicyclohexylammonium
nitrite (DICHAN), which was eventually commercialized as VPI 260.
DICHAN was used extensively by the US military to protect a wide variety of metallic
components from corrosion via various delivery systems, VCI powder, VCI paper, VCI solution,
VCI slushing compound, etc.

Safety and health concerns as well as inherent limitations has led to the abandonment of
DICHAN as a VCI.
At present, commercial VCI compounds are typically salts of moderately strong bases and weak
volatile acids.  The typical bases are amines and the acids are carbonic, nitrous and carboxylic.
