pH Neutralization
VCI also alters the pH value of the packaging to around 8-9 which
makes an alkaline. In an alkaline atmosphere the possibility of
corrosion reduces substantially for years and years together.
RustX VCI neutralizes the packaging within 1 minute by
changing the Red Litmus Solution to Blue/Green which
represents a pH value of 8-9 unlike competition which takes upto
hours to do so.

RustX VCI Films are manufactured with speciality high strength
polymers that have high transparency and excellent mechanical
properties like tensile strength and elongation. RustX Films are
produced on monolayer or on co extrusion lines to provide
optimal water vapour and oxygen transmission rates.

Equipment and materials:

1. Rubber bung: upper diameter 53 mm, lower
diameter 45 mm, hole 15 mm.
2. Test object: Unalloyed, killed structured steel
according to DIN EN 10025 (Material-No. 1.0038);
length12 mm, diameter 16 mm.
3. VCI-sample 25 mm x 150 mm (2 stripes).
4. Erlenmeyer flask, 1 Liter wide mouth according to
DIN 12385
o 3 glass jar with VCI-film
o 1 glass jar without VCI-film (control)
5. Glycerine-water solution, ρ = 1,076 g/cm3 and 23 °C
6. Two slits on the rubber bung (5 mm) for film-samples

Brief description:
 Plugs shall be abraded with water to a uniform finish surface (320 grit)
 Cleaning with destilled water and ethanol
 Fixing of two stripes of VCI-film (one on each slit on the rubber bung)
 After a period of 20 h, which serves as the build-up phase for the VCI active sub-
stances, a mixture of water and glycerine is poured in.
 After another period of 2 h the glass containers are heated from room temperature
to 40 °C in a fan oven for another 2 hours
Moisture condenses on the surface of the test objects, resulting in corrosion on the
control sample without VCI.
The test objects in the containers with VCI should display little or no corrosion.
 After finishing the test, the plugs must be dried in the heating cabinet

Evaluation:
The corrosion symptoms are documented and the protective effect is assessed by com-
parison with the control sample.
