This VCI/VpCI® Vapor Detection Test Kit is specifically developed for detecting the presence of vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors (VCI/VpCI®) emitted from various corrosion inhibiting products: paper, foam, powders, oil- and water- based rust preventative, etc..

The kit contains enough strips and solution for 50 testings. The shelf life of the solution is 2 years.

Notes: This kit is not appropriate for testing VCI/VpCI® films be- cause of significant pre-conditioning time requirement. This test may also be used on MCI®-309

MATERIALS INCLUDED
•VCI/VpCI® Test Strips
•VCI/VpCI® Test Solution
•Scotch tape

PROCEDURE
Dip VCI/VpCI® Test Strip into the VCI/VpCI® Test Solution, leaving about 1 centimeter of the strip dry. Using Scotch tape, attach the top of the strip to the inside of the enclosure or space that is treated with VCI/VpCI®. Close the system and allow time for the test strip to change from blue to pink/red. Approximate time frames for test completion under room temperature are listed in Table 1. The time for color change will depend on the temperature, product dosage, and product(s) tested.
