VCI Corrosion Protection

VCI For Plastics & Paper Packaging

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors protect metal components during storage and transportation with advanced vapor-phase technology. Our bio-based VCI solutions are engineered to safeguard ferrous and non-ferrous metals when integrated into plastic films, paper, and packaging systems.

Bio-Based Corrosion Control Additive for Packaging Materials

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI is a next-generation corrosion control additive designed for plastic and paper applications. Derived from renewable sources, it delivers clean, effective, and long-lasting vapor protection while meeting global environmental and safety expectations.

How Does NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Corrosion Inhibitor Work?

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI protects metal components through controlled vapor-phase action. When incorporated into plastic films or paper packaging, the active molecules volatilize and form a uniform, monomeric molecular layer on exposed metal surfaces. This invisible protective barrier isolates the metal from oxygen and moisture, effectively interrupting the electrochemical reactions responsible for corrosion. Once the packaging is opened and the components are placed into service, the protective vapors safely dissipate into the surrounding air, leaving no residue on the metal surface. NuGRD-BIO™ VCI is widely used in packaging solutions
for metal parts across defense, infrastructure, automotive, rail, aviation, and industrial manufacturing sectors. Learn how VCI plastic film protects metal parts. 

Sustainable bio-based VCI Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Technology

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI is formulated using stable organic acid salts that volatilize safely within enclosed spaces of plastic bags, films and paper packaging. This controlled vapor action ensures continuous metal protection without direct contact, residue, or surface contamination.

Metal Preservation Additive with Clean Chemistry

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI has Nitrite-free, amine-free, and heavy-metal-free formulation. It enhances worker safety, reduces environmental impact, and supports responsible manufacturing practices.

Low-Odor Bio-Based VCI Solution for Sensitive Packaging

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI, Designed with very low odor, making it ideal for export packaging, automotive components, machinery parts, and consumer-sensitive goods.

Applications of bio-based VCI Anti Corrosion in Plastic & Paper Packaging:

• Plastic Films: LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, EVA protective films and liners
• Paper & Board: VCI paper, wraps, interleaving sheets, and cartons
• Masterbatches: Concentrated carriers for easy let-down processing
• Industrial Packaging: Export packaging for machinery, auto parts, and tools
• Long-Term Storage: Protection in humid or salt-laden environments

Available Forms & Processing Guidance

Safe, Bio-Based & Globally Compliant VCI.

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI aligns with international safety and environmental standards. Its renewable composition, clean chemistry, and reliable performance make it an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking sustainable metal protection technologies in plastic and paper packaging during storage and transportation.

Performance Standards, Regulatory Compliance & Material Compatibility

NuGRD-BIO™ VCI has been validated through internationally recognized corrosion performance and regulatory testing protocols. It demonstrates effective protection under accelerated and real-world conditions, including razor blade corrosion evaluation, ASTM B-117 salt spray exposure, and both short-term and long-term German VCI test methods (TL8135 002 APL 010 and APL 004). In addition, the formulation complies with RoHS and EN71 Part 3 requirements for heavy metals and meets REACH regulatory standards, supporting global market acceptance. NuGRD-BIO™ VCI is fully compatible with polyolefins, PLA, and PBAT, and is typically applied at recommended loadings ranging from 1,500 ppm to 10,000 ppm, depending on metal type, storage duration, and environmental severity.
