Metal Wraps
The significant losses occur when metallic products are damaged or lost, due to rust and corrosion. To Avoid such losses the manufacturers concentrate their efforts on corrosion control and prevention during packaging, shipping and storage. The conventional methods to control corrosion through paint, grease and wax, are messy, time consuming and expensive. These methods also pose a potential threat to the environment unless properly treated and disposed. An alternative way to protect metals against corrosion – without dipping, cleaning, expensive waste treatment and without damaging the environment is represented by Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors – VCI.
Classification of Corrosion
Corrosion
- Degradation of Materials
- Metal Loss
- De-Colorization
- Pits
- Damage due to erosion
- De Lamination
- Cracking, buckling
Types of Corrosive Gases
- Nitrous Oxides (NOx)
- Ozone (O3) – reactive oxygen
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Sulfur Dioxides (SO2)
- Carbonyl Sulfide (COS)
- Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)
- Corrosive gases from wood off gassing
Corrosion results in estimated loss of 200 billions of dollars. The problem is largely avoidable by proper maintenance and protection methods.
Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor’s Action
How Metal Wrap Work
When metals are wrapped or packaged in Metal Wrap, the chemicals volatilize in the packaging environment and form a protective molecular layer on the surface of the metal. This protective layer prevents moisture, salt, dirt, oxygen and other materials from depositing on the metal and causing corrosion. Simply store or ship metal parts in Veer Metal Wrap packaging. When the parts are unwrapped, the protective layer immediately begins to dissipate. The metal parts are clean, corrosion free and ready to use. No washing, dipping or cleaning is necessary.
- Long lasting, effective protection against corrosion
- Easy, clean, economical application options
- Easy storage
- Lower per unit packaging
- Packaging flexibility
- Reduced processing time
- High Tensile strength fabric.
Metal Wrap protect both Ferrous as well as non-ferrous Metals from corrosion. VCI protection may be administered to metal components through elements of packaging and preservation. Multilayer Woven PP/HDPE product is one of the principal elements used in packaging. Special VCI impregnated woven product have been developed at Veer Group for packaging of metal components. These are plain and multi-layered products, ideally suited for over-wrapping as well as packaging of semi-finished or finished metal components. Suitable for Ferrous, Aluminum, Aluminum Alloy components and / or non-ferrous metal components such as those made from copper or brass. The multi-layered sheets are woven PP/ HDPE-fabric laminated, having adequate strength and waterproof qualities. These sheets may be used in the form of covers, which provide moisture-resistant and tear resistant protection to the packed items. (Since the VCI field created within the package covers a sizeable volume, the package can also be a loose fit.)

Function
In addition to acting as a barrier to external atmospheric gases the Metal Wrap scavenges any corrosive gases that might be enclosed in the air space inside the package.
Advantages
- Large shipments regardless of size and shape can be fully protected
- Barrier material more than adequate to give sufficient strength to the package
- Due to continuous presence of VCI, packaged items remain protected even in case of a leak in the sealing
- Costly machines can remain packed in the open condition awaiting installation for longer periods
- Protects the components for as long as 6-10 months
- The multiple cover system from Metal Wrap can provides extra strength to the package. This eliminates damage during transit or handling
- Materials used being non-toxic and recyclable, they are easy to dispose and contribute to maintaining the environmental balance
- Offers multi-metal Protection
- Reduces over all packing cost.
- Combination of different barrier materials possible with PP Raffia & PP Spunbonded non woven range of materials,.
