What Causes Corrosion?Corrosion is an electro-chemical process and will not take place without a conducting solution. The solution is called an electrolyte, and it is caused by water, rain, moisture and humidity. A relative humidity of 65% forms electrolytes which lead to corrosion.

What is VCI?VCI is an acronym for vapor/volatilecorrosion inhibitor. VCI chemicalsare a class of corrosion inhibiting compounds with sufficient vaporpressure to release compound molecules into the air. All ARMOR VCI NanotechnologyTM products are both vaporphase and contact phaseinhibitors.

ARMOR’s Proprietary NanotechnologyARMOR has engineered highly specialized corrosion inhibitors based on ionic salts. Our packaging materials are infused with the corrosion inhibitors, carrying them into the packaging environment. In the presence of moisture the salts dissolve to form ions, permeating the packaging environment

with corrosion inhibitors. The inhibiting ions are attracted to and deposit on metallic surfaces displacing moisture in the process and reassociating to form a stable nanocoating only afew molecules thick.
