Product Overview
ALCHAN 100 is a highly effective Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) designed to provide long-term corrosion protection for ferrous metals during storage and transportation. It is supplied as a colorless crystalline powder that continuously releases protective vapor molecules in enclosed environments.
These vapors form an invisible monomolecular protective film on metal surfaces, creating a barrier against moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive agents. ALCHAN 100 offers clean, dry, and residue-free protection without affecting the functionality, appearance, magnetic properties, or electrical characteristics of treated components.
