In order to protect our equipment from these harmful effects you can use VCI which does not allow the rusting process to even start. It is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. VCI paper is approved for mil specs and is good for metal products that are kept in a box. Corrosion occurs in metals when they are subjected to moisture and air which is commonly known as rusting. This makes the metal especially iron to weaken. This is where mil spec VCI comes in handy. In addition, they require protection as they are being shipped or during storage. It is a saturated plastic or in some cases a coated craft paper that is used to wrap metal parts and tools. When temperatures go up and water re-vaporizes the chemical is not affected as it remains as a thin covering on the metal surface. This is a very good assurance and anyone should use it on confidence.. When metal comes into contact with oxygen and water it reacts leading to loss of electrons over time. VCI which stands for Volatile Corrosion φ150*13.5 screw-in back entry with zero set 501 Manufacturers Inhibitor, as its name suggests prevents corrosion and rust. Rust or corrosion has a damaging effect on equipment ranging from a rust hammer to a rusty gun barrel including the effect of rust on hunting gear. It is also unsightly. Most of the metallic components and parts as well as newly finished machines usually have bare metal surfaces that require protection until they are put into use. In addition there are also toolboxes with VCI emitter for protecting tools. This happens as a result of the oxidation of iron or steel. When the temperature inside a package or a tool box goes below water dewing point and condensation starts, it is swiftly displaced by VCI chemical ions. Rust and corrosion lead to waste of metal parts which is a loss of money to businesses as well as consumers. This ensures that there is no further contact between any condensation which might occur and the metal surface in future. In addition, they require protection as they are being shipped or during storage. Earlier, it was only available for purchase in bulk. VCI chemicals evaporate continuously forming a protective shield inside a package on the metal surfaces. These can be applied on the gun wiping cloth. This is where mil spec VCI comes in handy. Due to its proven power of protecting metal from corrosion and rust it has been in use in many industrial processes for decades. This protection is from the harmful effects of rust and corrosion. However, it is now available in small snap caps and can be used to protect the firing mechanism as well as the inside of your treasured shot gun from corrosion and rust. It is also available in form of aerosol spray cans, oils and grease. There are VCI rust prevention products for automotive purposes, fishing gear, workshops, garages and many other applications where metal is involved. This implies that it is used in mil spec packaging. Mil spec VCI is on the United States Department of Defense qualified products catalogue. Most of the metallic components and parts as well as newly finished machines usually have bare metal surfaces that require protection until they are put into use. It works by bonding with the moisture and air that surrounds a metal.
