Prevent rust with the ARMOR DEFENDER™ VCI Film, a film designed for strength, longer-term protection and cost effectiveness.
The DEFENDER is a multi-layer film that positions ARMOR’s proprietary VCI Nanotechnology™ (a.k.a., our “secret recipe” for vapor corrosion inhibitor) on the inside layer of the film closest to the metal parts. This strategic placement and design reduces the quantity of VCI resin needed (without reducing performance) and offers customers savings in cost and resources!
The DEFENDER’s middle and outer layers are constructed for superior barrier protection, durability and puncture resistance and the result is a film with 50 percent more barrier protection than comparable single-layer films.
Simply put, whether your wrapping metal parts or sealing them in a VCI bag, ARMOR DEFENDER VCI film provides high performance without the high cost.
ARMOR products are in-stock and ready-to-ship with no order minimums through our ARMOR Stock & Ready® program.
Innovative, Multi-Layer Design: constructed of 3 layers of film; VCI on the inside layer closest to metal parts; middle and outside layers formulated for durability and barrier protection
Economical: offers 7-15% savings over single layer film
Environmentally-friendly and recyclable: recycling processes vary – check local recycling center for requirements
