FAQ

Rustopaper (VCI paper): questions buyers ask

How long does Rustopaper protect metal?

Between 6 and 24 months in ambient atmospheric conditions, and longer if required. Suprabha matches the protection to the storage and transit period you need.

What standard does Rustopaper meet?

Rustopaper conforms to IS 6263 and other international specifications.

Does VCI paper leave oil or a film on the parts?

No. It is a dry method: on contact with the metal the SO VCI® paper leaves no residual film or layer, so parts are ready to use on delivery.

What happens if the paper gets torn in transit?

The SO VCI® vapours keep replenishing the protective layer, so components stay protected even if the paper is torn, punctured or the pack is opened at a port.

Does it work on non-ferrous metals?

Yes. Suprabha’s VCI range protects ferrous and non-ferrous metals; tell us the metals in your pack and we recommend the right grade.
