VpCI EcoCoat in UAE – VpCI-355 EcoCoat for Water-Based Anti-Corrosion Packaging
VpCI EcoCoat in UAE is used by packaging companies that want paper and board packaging to handle moisture better. Many businesses in the UAE pack metal parts, tools, fasteners, machinery spares, fittings, oilfield items, fabricated parts, and export goods every day. These products often move through warehouses, ports, containers, and delivery routes before they reach the customer. During this time, moisture can enter weak packaging and create problems for the metal inside.
That is why many carton makers and paper converters look for a cleaner coating option. VpCI-355 EcoCoat is a water based anti corrosion coating used on kraft paper, recycled kraft paper, linerboard, and corrugated packaging. It helps improve the moisture barrier of paper-based packaging without depending on wax or polyethylene-coated paper.
This product also works as an eco friendly anti corrosion coating, VpCI coating, anti corrosion coating, rust preventive coating, and VpCI corrosion inhibitor coating for packaging applications. Alvina supplies VpCI EcoCoat across UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. Alvina also supports customers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
What is VpCI EcoCoat?
VpCI-355 EcoCoat is a water-based coating made for paper and board packaging. It helps reduce moisture movement through porous paper surfaces. Because paper can absorb water easily, untreated cartons and liners may not give enough protection during long storage or shipment.
When packaging producers apply VpCI EcoCoat on kraft paper, recycled kraft paper, linerboard, or corrugated board, the surface gains better water barrier support. As a result, the final packaging becomes more suitable for industrial goods, metal components, spare parts, and export items.
Unlike a direct metal paint, this coating works on the packaging material. It does not replace all corrosion protection methods, but it improves the packing system. So, carton makers, paper converters, corrugated box suppliers, and export packers can use it when they need stronger, cleaner paper-based packaging.
How This Product Is Different?
Many older moisture barrier papers use wax or polyethylene coating. Those materials can work, but they may make recycling more difficult. VpCI-355 EcoCoat gives packaging producers another route. It supports water barrier performance while helping the coated paper remain recyclable and repulpable.
This makes VpCI EcoCoat useful for companies that want practical packaging without moving fully into plastic-based or wax-heavy materials. Also, it can be used with corrosion inhibitor coating in selected packaging constructions. In that case, the paper can support both moisture barrier performance and corrosion protection needs.
For UAE packaging companies, this is useful because customers often ask for cleaner, lighter, and easier-to-handle packing materials. Also, many metal exporters want packaging that can handle humidity, sea freight, and warehouse storage better.
Key Features of VpCI EcoCoat
- Water-based coating – It uses water as the solvent base, so it suits paper and board coating applications.
- Moisture barrier support – It helps kraft paper, recycled kraft paper, and corrugated liners resist water movement better.
- Eco-focused packaging option – It can reduce the need for wax and polyethylene-coated paper in many packaging jobs.
- Recyclable and repulpable support – The coating supports paper recovery and repulping needs when used correctly.
- Useful for paper converters – Paper and carton producers can use it for coated sheets, liners, wraps, and board packaging.
- Suitable for corrugated boxes – It can be applied on liners used for corrugated carton production.
- Supports metal packaging needs – Better moisture control can help reduce packing-related issues for metal parts.
- Good for custom packaging – It can support sheets, liners, carton inserts, wraps, and corrugated board designs.
Why Choose VpCI-355 EcoCoat?
Packaging does more than hold a product. It also controls how much moisture, dust, and outside air can reach the packed item. If paper or board absorbs too much moisture, the metal inside the package may face a higher rust risk.
VpCI-355 EcoCoat helps improve this part of the packing system. It gives paper and board a better barrier surface, so the packaging becomes more reliable for industrial use. Therefore, it is useful for tools, fasteners, bearings, fittings, machinery spares, fabricated parts, oilfield items, and steel components.
Also, many companies now prefer packaging materials that are easier to recycle. For that reason, VpCI EcoCoat can be a better choice than waxed paper or polyethylene-coated paper in many applications. It gives carton makers and paper converters a way to support performance and cleaner packaging goals at the same time.

How to Use VpCI EcoCoat?
Packaging producers can apply VpCI EcoCoat on kraft paper, recycled kraft paper, linerboard, or corrugated board. The coating should spread evenly across the surface. After that, the coated substrate should dry properly before cutting, folding, gluing, or converting.
For coating construction, drying temperatures around 180–200°F / 82–93°C are commonly used. Also, users can test heavier coating weights when they need lower water vapor transmission or stronger barrier performance.
Before full production, test the coated paper or board with the final package design. This step helps confirm performance based on the product type, storage period, shipping route, and actual handling conditions.
