Active corrosion protection
VCI packaging from BANTLEON reliably protects your components during storage and transport. The molecules (VCI = Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) incorporated into the packaging material (e.g. film) or into the dispenser system create a protective atmosphere and a monomolecular layer that effectively protects ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion.
After unpacking, the active ingredients evaporate without leaving any residue, meaning that the components can be further processed or assembled without the need for additional cleaning.

The BANTLEON VCI concept
Our experts develop perfectly tailored solutions that ensure both corrosion protection and cleanliness for your packaging. During this development process, we obviously also take into account all requirements of your process chain. Thanks to BANTLEON’s many years of experience, you can rely 100% on the safety, cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness of our VCI solutions.
Our technical specialists in the field of surface technology develop perfectly tailored corrosion protection concepts for our customers. All processes, such as cleaning, corrosion protection, storage, packaging and shipping, are incorporated here. With our in-house laboratory, we can precisely simulate storage and transport conditions (using climatic and/or corrosion protection test chambers) and then design corresponding, customer-specific corrosion protection concepts.

Yes, there are various types of VCI packaging that have been specifically designed for different types of components and applications. Here are some of the most common types of VCI packaging:
- VCI bags
- VCI film
- VCI paper
- VCI dispensers
Depending on the type of components, their size and shape, and the specific requirements of the application, different types of VCI packaging can be used to ensure effective corrosion protection.
The duration of the corrosion protection provided by VCI packaging depends on various factors, including the quality of the VCI packaging, the environmental conditions, the type of components and the storage conditions. As a general rule, VCI packaging provides long-lasting protection against corrosion over a period ranging from several months to several years.
BANTLEON specifies a specific shelf life based on laboratory investigations and tests. This shelf life may vary depending on the product and should be observed to ensure that the corrosion protection remains effective.
VCI packaging offers several advantages, including:
- Ease of use: VCI packaging is simple to use and requires no additional steps or treatment of the components.
- Long-term protection: The volatile corrosion inhibitors in VCI packaging provide long-lasting protection against corrosion, even during extended storage periods.
- No residue: Unlike other corrosion protection methods, VCI packaging leaves no residue on components and can be easily removed.
- Environmentally friendly: VCI packaging is generally environmentally friendly and can be recycled or disposed of.
