RUST-X VCI AL-Bar anti-static film is manufactured using a patented process and structure. This transparent metal-in static shielding bag is designed to provide a static safe environment for sensitive electronic devices. Open top and Zip Top styles are available. The bags are heat sealable. Rust-X AL-Bar Anti-Static bag manufactured from a polyester, metal, and polyethylene laminate. The polyester dielectric in concert with the metal layer is intended to provide shielding of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and to help minimize the penetration of electric field. This is ideally used for packaging of metal products or for equipment packaging for long term storage and transportation.
VCI stands for Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors. VCI Plastics make use of VCI Technology to protect metallic components packed in them. RUST-X VCI Plastics works on SMP technology for speedy moisture passivation. The VCI molecules work by evaporation and condensation on the cooler metal parts and prevent corrosion wherever they settle. In effect a corrosion inhibiting layer comprising of macromolecules is deposited on the part. This molecular bag formed inhibits the forward reaction of corrosion by limiting/stopping the electron flow, altering pH as well as by forming a physical barrier to oxygen and water vapour. Steel Components packed in RUST-X VCI can be protected for up to 10 years when combined with our other VCI Solutions
