What Should You Consider When Choosing a VCI Supplier?
                     What Should You 
Consider When 
Choosing a VCI 
Supplier?
Are you looking for a VCI provider to meet your company's 
requirements? Do you have corrosion problems at your place of 
business? or are you simply dissatisfied with your existing VCI 
supplier's products and services?
This is what you should examine when picking a VCI supplier, 
regardless of the reason for your search.
Is the VCI vendor trustworthy (ISO certified)?
VCI has been around for decades, and while there are a few 
trustworthy VCI providers around the world, there are many others 
who are not. Furthermore, depending on the industry to which the 
parts are being sold, you may be obliged to utilise an ISO certified 
VCI provider. As a result, it's critical that you inquire about the 
supplier's credentials or certificates.
Does the VCI vendor have technical expertise?
Corrosion and rust are complicated issues. It's common to employ a 
root cause analysis approach to figure out what's causing your parts 
to rust. Is there a complimentary on-site visit from the supplier to 
process map your manufacturing line, collect metalworking fluids, 
and/or test sample parts? It's critical that the VCI supplier be able to 
test the parts and fluids in order to determine what's causing the 
corrosion and how to fix it.
Is the corrosion management option identified by the VCI supplier 
the most effective?
VCI vendors will frequently offer a solution to remedy a corrosion 
problem, but they should first conduct a thorough root cause 
investigation and then take the necessary steps to ensure the 
problem is resolved and won't recur. Not only should your VCI 
supplier aim to reduce corrosion, but he or she should also try to 
remove superfluous packaging and materials handling operations.
Is the VCI supplier able to create custom solutions for your 
application?
Each metal component has its own features. They're frequently 
created with a variety of metal types, forms, sizes, and weights, with 
each component requiring different types of protection (for example, 
spraying apart with a rust preventative coating prior to being placed 
inside of a VCI bag or using a gusseted VCI bag with VCI paper 
interleaving stacked parts in a crate). Assume the provider wants to 
offer more products but doesn't know what level of protection is 
required. In that scenario, you should inquire about the supplier's 
ability to supply the full solutions that your company requires.
Is the VCI supplier willing to supply free trial samples?
While laboratory testing is essential for identifying corrosion causes 
and determining the best remedies, Trial runs should be done prior 
to purchasing any products or making any changes to your 
company's procedures because there is no way to completely 
recreate the real-life process of your metal parts in a laboratory. 
Your VCI provider should provide free samples of the items to 
complete these trials and should be present to observe the 
procedure, as corrosion can often be induced simply by an 
employee touching parts without wearing clean gloves.
Is there international assistance from the VCI supplier?
OEMs frequently manufacture parts on the other side of the globe 
and transport them to their consumers. Will your VCI provider be 
able to visit the manufacturing plant where the parts were made to 
determine the problem if they arrive rusted? The OEM will continue 
to experience significant financial costs until the fundamental cause 
of a rust problem is discovered and suitable mitigation is applied, 
which is why our technical service engineers assist 70 nations 
because when firms are experiencing rust, they need help right now.
