Vapor Barrier Bags

What is a Vapor Barrier Bag or VCI?

Moisture barrier bags are often refereed to as foil bags, alufoil bags, or Mylar bags. We recommend these as shipping materials as they are the most effective solution for packaging that you can find on the market to protect against all types of damage. Moisture, oxygen, salt spray, aromas, airborne contaminants, and grease are all potential hazards.

What is a vapor barrier bag or VCI  (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors ) ? This is the  protection between your items that are being shipped.  High barrier bags are also used to preserve and protect products. This is done since they have a low oxygen transmittal rate, low moisture vapor transmission rate, and a high tensile strength, or puncture resistance. airborne contaminants. The vapor barrier bag is a line of defense for our customers highly valued goods that will protect these items from corrosion and rust. There are a few different types of VCI, one is a heat sealed bag, heat sealed shrink or, a coated paper.

Here at Las Vegas Crating and Logistics we use vapor barrier bags from 3D Barrier Bags We use these bags because they meet all the military specification.

The military specification is MIL-PRF-13K cLASS 1 which is s a poly foil laminate water-vapor proof barrier material. The military has an extensive list of items moved needing top of the line vapor bags to protect tech and machinery equipment that is highly supportable to corrosion.

Some confuse moister bags with air bags which retard the migration of air. The moister barrier bag or vapor bag blocks the migration of water vapor. These are an integral part of shipping and having items arrive in pristine condition at their point of destination.

We at Las Vegas Crating have extensive experience and expertise on calculating how much desiccant is required for the volume to be protected inside the bag using a activated clay conforming to the MIL-D-3464 military specification. With over 21 years in the shipping packing and logistics industry we have a plethora of knowledge and skill needed to pack and ship with vapor barrier bags that meet all military standards. This is the U.S. military specification for silica gel and clay desiccants. Desiccant is a hygroscopic substance used as a drying agent. The term unit is a quantity of desiccant, which will absorb a set percentage of its weight at certain levels of humidity. Mil-D-3464E defines a “Unit” as the amount of desiccant needed to absorb: 3 grams of water at 20% RH, 25˚C, .
