Using the most advanced technologies and highly effective ionic coverings, Grupo Olefinas offers an effective solution to protect against corrosion of metal products and components.

Our VCI Film offers excellent protection for aluminum, steel, iron, copper, brass alloys and welding.

VCI is hydro-soluble and possesses higher adherence energy, so it clings to metallic surfaces better than films with water dipoles. This film's molecules create exothermic reactions strong enough to displace superficial water, thereby preventing corrosion.

Characteristics and Benefits of VCI Film

• Protects ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Offers up to 24 months of continuous protection under normal conditions.
• Reduces operating costs, eliminating the need for greasing and post cleaning processes.
• Protects areas that would be hard to reach with any other type of protector.
• Since it is transparent, it is easy to view effects on the objects inside.
• Available in normal and thermo-shrink films and in bags, adapting to the specific size and form you require.
• Can be sealed with heat using standard equipment.
• The bags can be tied, bent, engraved or sealed with staples to offer the equivalent protection of thermal seals.
• Does not need to be in contact with metal in order to protect it.
• Since it is nitrate-free, it does not harm health and does not possess a chemical smell.
• Protects even when it is combined with other packaging materials.
• Can be used in combination with protecting oils, if desired.
• Needs no special handling.
• Does not cause damage to the environment.
• The corrosion inhibitor does not affect the electric or mechanical properties of the packed product.
• Boasts highly desirable cost-benefit relation.
• It is not necessary to remove the layer formed by the corrosion inhibitor.

Health and the Environment

The VCI base contained in the film is created primarily with organic compounds that deliver pressure, allowing molecules to vaporize. When they hydrolyze, they are evenly dispersed over the metal surface.

These compounds are completely free of nitrate (known for causing respiratory and vision problems and cancer), chrome and heavy metals, and do not harm human handlers or the environment.
