Bsc Preferred VCI36WAX Vci Paper Roll Ferrous Metal

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VCI36WAX is a chemically treated Volatile Corrosion Inhibiting paper roll used to wrap or cover ferrous metal parts and surfaces during storage or shipment. The paper continuously vaporizes active corrosion inhibitors, creating a protective micro-environment that blocks rust, oxidation, and corrosion on exposed metal surfaces. At 30.78 pounds and packaged in a roll format, this product is suited for high-volume industrial, maintenance, and manufacturing packaging operations. It is handled and applied by maintenance technicians, warehouse personnel, and packaging specialists working with ferrous components.

VCI36WAX is applied in any setting where ferrous metal parts require protection from corrosive atmospheric conditions during storage, transit, or staging. Typical applications include wrapping machined parts, tooling, pipe fittings, hardware, and metal assemblies. A coverage ratio of one square foot of VCI paper per one cubic foot of packaging volume is recommended. Complete wrapping of the part or assembly provides maximum corrosion protection. This roll format supports efficient coverage across a range of part sizes and shapes.

Key Features

• Chemically treated paper continuously vaporizes corrosion inhibitors to protect ferrous metal surfaces
• Blocks rust, oxidation, and corrosion without direct contact coatings or oils
• Recommended coverage ratio: one square foot of VCI paper per one cubic foot of enclosed packaging volume
• Complete wrapping delivers maximum surface protection for stored or shipped parts
• Roll format allows flexible sizing and coverage for varied component geometries
• Non-hazardous material per supplier classification

Compatibility

Designed for use with ferrous metal parts and surfaces including steel, cast iron, and iron-based alloys requiring corrosion protection during packaging, storage, or transit. This product is equivalent to part number S-16685.

Installation Notes

No special tools are required to apply VCI paper. Cut or tear the roll to the required size and wrap the ferrous metal part or surface completely, ensuring full enclosure for maximum protection. Avoid leaving gaps or open edges that allow ambient air circulation, which reduces inhibitor effectiveness. Handle with clean, dry hands or gloves to prevent contamination of the treated surface.
