Stephen, I have used paper VCI emmiters
in my cabinet for over 3 years, they are made my ‘3M’ and are
flat black paper rectangles that you can hide at the back. I have had no
problems with them. The coating they emit is literally only atomic thickness so
there isn’t much of anything to cause a problem. To be honest I would worry more about
the safety of Nickel than the safety of the VCI ! …. I have seen these used they are very
good too http://www.texastechnologies.com/vciemitter.html Regards, Mark Ford -----Original Message----- Hello List, I have a few questions about volatile corrosion
inhibitors (VCIs). As a relative newcomer to meteorite collecting I apologize
for any niavete. Those people who are tired of rust threads should
probably skip this messege now. However, if anybody who has used VCIs
wants to field these questions, I would be grateful. I've gathered a few bits and pieces about VCI from the
archives and recent discussions about rusting irons. However, I'm not
sure that I have a clear picture about when they are good to use. Firstly, Has anyone experienced unwanted
reactions with any of the following materials A. The various minerals that are abundant in
meteorites that are not irons B. plastics such as those found in display/storage
containers C. Other coatings (In my case I have wiped a bunch of
Sikhotes with a silicone gun cloth) D. dessicants E. human health Secondly, can they be used in very small containers
such as plastic cubes that are as small as about 10X10X10 cm? Finally, does anybody have recommendations about
specific product names and suppliers? Thank you for your time Stephen McMann
