Volatile corrosion inhibiting (VCI) papers are a popular choice for protecting metallic parts from corrosion. Accelerated corrosion tests were conducted to compare the effectiveness of papers formulated for multimetal protection to those formulated for the protection of ferrous metals only. The tests were conducted using SAE C1010 steel panels. Chlorides and sulfur dioxide were used to accelerated the corrosion rate. The results indicate that in highly corrosive conditions, the multimetal papers provide better protection to carbon steel than the papers formulated for ferrous metals only.
