NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Additives for Plastic & Paper Packaging
NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Corrosion Control Additives deliver best-in-class, vapor-phase corrosion protection directly integrated into your primary packaging materials. Engineered specifically for industrial manufacturers, masterbatch producers, polymer compounders, and packaging converters, our sustainable, bio-based technology shields both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from rust, oxidation, and surface degradation without messy oils, waxes, or grease coatings.
There are two major industrial packaging applications for our advanced volatile corrosion inhibitor technology: plastic film packaging and paper packaging. By building vapor-phase metal protection directly into the packaging substrate during raw processing, we help manufacturers deliver clean packaging completely free of oily coatings or greasy residues. This next-generation approach allows companies to reliably protect their valuable metal product assets, eliminate costly corrosion-related warranty claims, and significantly streamline global supply chain logistics.
VCI Additives For Plastic Film Manufacturers
NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Additive
Our advanced NuGRD-BIO™ VCI technology is meticulously engineered to survive the high heat and extreme shear forces of modern polymer processing. Formulated as a high-temperature stable additive in powder form, this additive distributes evenly throughout the polyolefin matrix without experiencing thermal degradation, structural outgassing, or causing optical film defects during high-speed production.
Once processed into final packaging materials, the embedded active VCI molecules gradually migrate to the film surface and volatilize into the enclosed package headspace. These airborne molecules travel smoothly to coat complex metal geometries, deep cavities, and blind threaded holes, forming a robust, self-replenishing molecular protective shield. This invisible barrier actively blocks ambient moisture, oxygen, salt-laden sea air, and industrial pollutants from initiating electrochemical oxidation.
It is the ultimate choice for heavy-duty industrial wraps, mono-layer liners, multi-layer co-extruded structures, and high-performance export packaging.
NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Additive is specially formulated for plastic masterbatch compounders and film converters with in-house compounding capabilities. By producing VCI masterbatch at your own facility, you can avoid the higher compounding and shipping costs associated with importing pre-made VCI masterbatches. Sourcing raw VCI additives instead of finished VCI masterbatches offers significant long-term cost savings, helping manufacturers reduce production costs and improve profit margins.
NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Masterbatch
For factories looking for a ready-to-use solution, our VCI Masterbatch serves as a premium polyethylene-based corrosion inhibitor MB designed specifically for manufacturing high-performance VCI films, bags, liners, covers, stretch films, and industrial packaging materials. It acts as an "drop-in" masterbatch that integrates seamlessly into standard blown film or cast film equipment. As a High-Temperature Stable Packaging Additive, it maintains performance during polymer extrusion and film blowing processes, ensuring consistent quality without thermal degradation. Once VCI incorporated into final film, the active VCI molecules gradually volatilize and migrate smoothly to coat complex metal geometries, deep cavities, and blind threaded holes, forming a robust, self-replenishing molecular protective shield. This invisible barrier actively blocks ambient moisture, oxygen, salt-laden sea air, and industrial pollutants from initiating electrochemical oxidation—providing long-lasting, reliable corrosion protection for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals during storage, transit, and international export shipping.
NuGRD-BIO™ VCI Anti-Corrosion Masterbatch
Best-in-class corrosion protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Incorporates directly into plastic film and bags during manufacturing. Once integrated, it releases VCI molecules that vaporize within sealed packaging, creating an invisible molecular layer on metal surfaces that blocks rust and oxidation.

High-Temperature Stable Packaging Additive
Maintains performance during polymer extrusion and film blowing processes,
ensuring consistent protection without thermal degradation.
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.
