VCI Shrink Film large machinery and metal equipment need more than ordinary wrapping when they remain in storage or travel over long distances. Moisture, dust, humidity and changing temperatures can slowly affect exposed metal surfaces.

VCI-108 VCI Shrink Film combines shrink packaging with Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor technology. After wrapping, heat shrinks the film around the product and gives it a tighter protective cover. At the same time, VCI molecules move inside the enclosed space and help protect exposed metal from rust.

VCI-108 is made with LDPE as the base material and contains a vapour-phase corrosion inhibitor. Published product information describes it as a heavy-duty shrink film for large pallets, machinery and container-sized items. The manufacturer also states that properly packed products may remain protected outdoors for around 6 to 18 months, depending on conditions.

Nassguard supplies VCI Shrink Film across Qatar and Doha, including Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah, Al Khor, Al Shamal, Umm Salal, Al Daayen, Al Shahaniya, Lusail, Mesaieed and Ras Laffan.

What is VCI Shrink Film?

VCI Shrink Film is a heat-shrinkable polyethylene film made for protecting metal products from corrosion. The film performs two jobs. First, it shrinks tightly around the packed item when heat is applied. Second, the VCI compounds inside the film release corrosion-inhibiting molecules into the enclosed area.

These molecules settle on exposed metal surfaces and help slow down rust formation. Because the film shrinks around the product, it is especially useful for large or irregular items where standard bags may not provide a good fit. VCI-108 is commonly supplied in rolls, sheets or bag formats, and customized sizes are available according to the manufacturer.

Technical Specifications

These published figures are listed as typical physical properties for VCI-108, so the exact supplied roll should be confirmed before specification or project approval.

How Does VCI-108 Shrink Film Work?

First, cover the clean and dry product with the film. Next, use suitable shrink-heating equipment to apply controlled heat. As the film contracts, it forms a tighter outer package around the equipment. Inside that enclosed space, the VCI compounds release protective molecules. These molecules move through the air and settle on exposed metal surfaces, helping reduce the electrochemical reactions that cause corrosion. For better protection, remove water, salt, dirt and fingerprints before wrapping.

Certifications, Standards and Compliance

• ISO 9001 – Quality Management System
• ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System
• RoHS – Restriction of Hazardous Substances
• REACH – Chemical Regulation

The VCI+ manufacturer states that its company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification. Separate VCI+ material information also references SGS, RoHS and REACH compliance for certain VCI products. These should not automatically be treated as direct certifications of every VCI-108 roll unless the exact supplied grade includes matching documentation.

Conclusion

VCI-108 VCI Shrink Film gives large metal products both physical wrapping and corrosion protection in one packaging system. Its LDPE film shrinks around machinery, pallets or equipment when heat is applied. This creates a more secure outer package while the VCI compounds work inside the enclosed area.

The product is particularly useful for heavy machinery, motors, engines, large pipes, marine equipment, construction tools, industrial components and export shipments.

For companies looking for Corrosion Protection Film, Anti Corrosion Shrink Film, Rust Prevention Shrink Film, VCI Plastic Shrink Film or Metal Protection Shrink Film, VCI-108 provides a practical option for larger packaging jobs.
