Steel & Metals
Coils, plate and fabricated sections.
How we support steel & metals
Mill and service-centre output moves in volume and sits in the open more often than anyone would like. We supply coil and sheet wrapping, interleaving papers and the heavier barrier systems used where material is stored outside or shipped by sea.
The corrosion problem
Steel arriving with surface rust is downgraded or reworked, and both cost more than the packaging did. Stacked and banded material is the difficult case: moisture wicks between surfaces, sits there, and the damage is invisible until the pack is opened.
Where we work in this sector
- Coil and sheet
- Wrapped at the mill or the service centre for storage and dispatch.
- Plate and structural sections
- Fabricated work held outdoors between operations.
- Castings and forgings
- Rough and machined surfaces with a long lead time ahead of them.
- Non-ferrous metals
- Copper, aluminium and mixed-metal assemblies, where the inhibitor has to suit more than steel.
What we usually recommend
- VCI Films & Wraps
Sheeting and stretch film for coil, bundle and pallet-level protection.
- VCI Papers, Foils & Laminates
Interleaving papers and heavier laminates for stacked and banded material.
- Anti-corrosion & rust prevention
Choosing between film, paper and a sealed barrier for a given storage case.
