VCI Anti Rust Paper steel coils, sheet metal, machined parts and fabricated components often face a simple problem during storage: they may look clean when packed but begin to corrode once moisture and trapped air stay around the surface.
VCI Wrinkle Lined Antirust Paper is made to reduce that risk. It combines wrinkled kraft paper with Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor technology, giving users both physical wrapping strength and active rust protection.
VCI+ describes its crepe or wrinkle VCI paper as a material made from high-quality neutral raw wood pulp kraft paper with VCI anti-rust ingredients. The manufacturer highlights good tensile strength, strong retraction, puncture resistance and use in steel-coil packaging.
Alvina supplies VCI Anti Rust Paper across the UAE and GCC, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, along with selected markets such as Italy, France, Germany and Spain.
What is VCI Wrinkle Lined Antirust Paper?
VCI Wrinkle Paper is a creped or wrinkled corrosion-protection paper made for metal packaging. The wrinkled structure gives the paper more flexibility than plain kraft paper. It can stretch slightly, conform around curved surfaces and handle irregular shapes more effectively. That makes it especially useful for steel coils, metal sheets, plates, machinery parts and fabricated items.
The paper also contains VCI chemistry. Once users wrap a clean and dry metal product and keep the package reasonably enclosed, the paper releases corrosion-inhibiting molecules into the surrounding air. Those molecules settle on exposed metal surfaces and help slow the electrochemical reactions that cause rust. Unlike a heavy grease coating, VCI protection works through vapour. This allows it to reach corners, gaps and recessed areas that may not touch the paper directly.
VCI+ lists wrinkle type as one of its special VCI paper constructions and uses the designation WO – Wrinkle Type within its VCI paper range.
Key Features of VCI Anti Rust Paper

How Does VCI Wrinkle Paper Work?
Start with a clean and dry metal surface. Wrap the part or coil with the paper and keep the VCI-active side oriented correctly according to the supplied product instructions. The wrinkled structure helps the paper follow curved or uneven surfaces.
Once the package remains reasonably enclosed, the VCI ingredients release inhibitor molecules into the internal air space. These molecules move around the metal and settle on exposed surfaces. The resulting protective layer helps reduce the corrosion reaction caused by moisture, oxygen and atmospheric contaminants.
VCI+ also states that VCI paper can help reduce corrosion from moisture, SO₂, H₂S and electrochemical attack.
