Tools are part of the group of equipment that cannot survive without proper rust protection for metals unless these tools are made from stainless steel, which significantly raises their cost. In such cases, the consumer needs to determine if the cost justifies the benefit.
RUST PROTECTION FOR METALS: GALVANIZED OR OILED TOOLS
Some companies opt for galvanization, which can be quite effective. However, since the tools are used for rougher tasks, many users prefer cheaper tools, thinking about the cost-benefit ratio.
Sometimes, the user may only need to use the tool once or might not consider calling a professional for a repair that could be done with the tool. As a result, they buy the tool and do not think about paying extra for one with rust protection. They might not even care to store the tool properly for future use.
In most cases, what we see on the shelves of specialty stores or more affordable department stores are tools with a thin oily coating. This makes us think that the supplier does not care much about the customer but only about the product, because it suggests that the product must be protected, regardless of who will use it.
This does not necessarily mean the tools are preserved with proper rust protection for metals, especially if the oil layer does not form a protective film with an active corrosion inhibitor, such as V-active from VCI Brazil.
V-ACTIVE AND VCI FOR RUST PROTECTION FOR METALS: CLEAN AND PROTECTED TOOLS
The ideal solution for valuable tools that offer good cost-benefit is to manufacture them with V-active protective fluids and package them using VCI packaging for rust protection for metals.
Custom protective bags made from VCI Laminated Paper, VCI Raffia Paper, VCI Bubble Wrap, or VCI Plastic, personalized with the customer’s logo, provide a better visual appearance and ensure rust protection for a set period. Consult our anti-corrosive packaging engineering team to discover the best solution for your product!
By using V-active fluids, tools are not only protected but also clean, ensuring long-lasting performance and maintenance-free storage until they’re ready for use.
