Rust and corrosion are among the biggest threats to metal components during storage and shipping. Exposure to moisture, humidity, salt air, and industrial contaminants can quickly damage valuable parts, resulting in costly replacements, production delays, and unhappy customers. That’s why manufacturers across industries rely on Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) 126 Series bags and films to protect metal products from the moment they’re packaged until they’re ready for use. Texas Technologies offers high-performance VpCI® 126 bags, films, and tubing designed to safeguard metal components during storage, handling, and transportation.
What Are Corrosion Inhibiting Materials? 
Corrosion inhibitor bags and films are specially engineered packaging materials that release Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCIs) into the enclosed package. These invisible molecules form a protective layer on metal surfaces, helping prevent rust, oxidation, tarnish, and other forms of corrosion without leaving behind oily residues or requiring additional cleaning.
Unlike traditional rust-prevention methods, VpCI® 126 bags provide continuous protection throughout storage and shipping while allowing parts to be removed and used immediately.
Why Use VpCI® 126 Bags and Films?
Corrosion protection is critical anywhere metal components are manufactured, stored, or shipped, in industries such as aerospace, electronics, or metal fabrication, to name just a few. Choosing the right corrosion protection can save manufacturers significant time and money. Corrosion inhibitor bags offer several important benefits, including:
- Protection against rust, oxidation, tarnish, and corrosion
- Long-term protection during storage and transportation
- Clean, dry protection with no oils or messy coatings
- Coverage for difficult-to-reach surfaces, crevices, and internal cavities
- Reduced product damage, warranty claims, and replacement costs
- Simple packaging process with no additional cleaning required before use
- Saves on costs by eliminating the need to degrease or remove protective coatings needed when using other packaging materials
Whether you’re protecting precision-machined components, tools, fasteners, bearings, or finished assemblies, VpCI® 126 bags and films come in different forms, such as zip top bags, open top bags, gusseted bags, tubing and films of varying sizes to help preserve product quality until your parts reach their destination.
Build a Complete Corrosion Protection System 
For applications that require additional environmental protection, corrosion inhibitor bags can be paired with complementary packaging solutions such as desiccants, moisture barriers, and other corrosion control products. Combining these solutions helps defend valuable components against humidity, moisture intrusion, and corrosion throughout the supply chain.
