VCI Stretch Film — Anti-Rust Pallet Wrap for Metal Components
Metal parts stored in humid South Indian warehouses — especially Coimbatore’s automobile ancillary factories — rust within weeks when wrapped in standard LDPE film. VCI stretch film releases Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor molecules that form an invisible protective layer on the metal surface, preventing rust without contact and without residue on the finished part.
SK Packaging manufactures VCI stretch film at our Coimbatore factory using Rustoppers VCI technology. Films are available in hand-grade and machine-grade formats, in natural and color-tinted variants.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Question
VCI stretch film is a specialized type of stretch film that incorporates Vapour Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs). These inhibitors release vapor that forms a protective layer on the surface of metal parts, preventing rust and corrosion. It is ideal for protecting both ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous (non-iron-based) metals during storage and transportation. VCI stretch films offer long-lasting protection without the need for additional coatings or treatments.
For fully wrapped pallets of metal components, VCI stretch film can replace the need for individual VCI bags. It provides effective corrosion inhibition across the entire pallet surface. However, for individual component packaging or components requiring multi-year storage, dedicated VCI bags with higher VCI loading are recommended. Both products are available from SK Packaging.
Regular stretch film provides basic physical protection, such as securing items together and protecting them from dirt, moisture, and dust. Anti-rust stretch film (VCI film) takes it a step further by adding an anti-corrosion layer to protect metal parts from rust and oxidation. This makes it especially beneficial for industries dealing with metal products that are sensitive to moisture and environmental factors that lead to corrosion.
Yes, VCI stretch films are suitable for both ferrous (iron-based metals such as steel) and non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum, copper, and brass). The VCI inhibitors embedded in the film work to protect all types of metal from corrosion, regardless of whether they are ferrous or non-ferrous.
The protection offered by VCI stretch films can last for months, depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. The film creates a protective vapor barrier that continues to shield metal parts for as long as the film remains intact. For long-term storage or high-moisture environments, additional protective measures may be considered to enhance protection.
Yes, anti-rust stretch films are easy to apply and can be used with both manual wrapping and automatic stretch wrapping machines. The film is designed to adhere to itself, providing a secure and tight wrap around metal components without the need for additional strapping or tape. This ease of use makes it a cost-effective solution for businesses looking for reliable protection without added complexity.
Yes, SK Packing offers customizable VCI stretch films in various widths, thicknesses, and roll sizes to meet the specific needs of your packaging and protection requirements. Whether you need a specific size for wrapping small parts or require larger rolls for bulk packaging, we can provide a solution that suits your business needs.
