VCI Stretch Film – Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film for Metal Protection
VCI Stretch Film is a premium industrial packaging solution designed to protect metal parts from corrosion, rust, and oxidation. In the UAE, metals often pass through hot warehouses, coastal ports, and long shipping routes where exposure to moisture can quickly accelerate corrosion. Traditional plastic wraps or standard stretch films only offer physical protection and cannot prevent rust. Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film combines durable stretch film with advanced vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) technology, forming an active protective layer that safeguards metal surfaces during storage, handling, and shipment. Alvina supplies VCI Stretch Film across all UAE locations including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain, and extends support to customers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
What is Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film?
Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film is a high-performance protective film embedded with VCI compounds. When applied, the film releases corrosion inhibitors that create a vapor layer around the metal surface, providing continuous protection against rust. It is strong, flexible, and compatible with UV exposure and heat, making it suitable for both manual and automated wrapping. The film is ideal for small components, machinery, or large assemblies and reduces the need for oily coatings. Its design ensures metals remain protected during storage, transport, and export without extra cleaning steps.
Why This Film Is Different?
Unlike ordinary stretch films, VCI Stretch Film provides both physical coverage and active corrosion protection. Standard films only prevent scratches or dust accumulation. Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film releases vapor corrosion inhibitors that protect hidden surfaces, threads, grooves, and recesses. This reduces dependence on oil-based coatings, saves cleaning time, and ensures industrial parts remain rust-free. Its combination of mechanical strength and VCI technology makes it suitable for industrial, automotive, oilfield, and export packaging applications where durability and cleanliness are essential.

How to Use Cor-Pak VpCI Stretch Film?
Ensure metal parts are clean and dry before wrapping. Stretch the film evenly around the components or pallets to form a tight protective layer. Cover all surfaces fully to maintain the VCI vapor barrier. For larger shipments, use multiple layers or interleaving for enhanced protection. The film can also line containers or pallets to prevent direct moisture contact.
