VCI Paper Information

We've Added An EXTRA Level of Quality

Nicola Brand Strings - VIC Paper - An EXTRA LevelNEW VCI Envelopes
Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor - VCI paper!
When Nicola Brand Strings are manufactured, our associates on the production line wear special gloves to prevent skin oils from coming into contact with the metal alloy of the strings. This is done during all phases of manufacturing from production, inspection, and packaging of the strings. Now with added VCI Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor paper envelopes, we have an extra level of quality, to help insure our strings are the best you can buy. 

​
​​What is VCI Paper?
VCI Paper, or Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor paper, is a paper manufactured with added VCI chemistry. VCI molecules protect metals from corrosion by forming a thin, invisible layer on the surface. This layer inhibits the corrosion process caused by oxygen, water, and contaminants. 

How Does VCI Paper Work?
VCI Paper, or Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor paper emits molecules that settle on metal surfaces and form an invisible layer that protects from corrosion. It protects by interrupting the electrochemical corrosion process caused by moisture, oxygen, and contaminants in the atmosphere.
​
How Long Does VCI Paper Last?
When using VCI Paper products, the guitar string metals will be protected for years when used correctly. Most VCI products have a shelf life of up to three years when the product is stored in original airtight packaging, out of direct sunlight and under shelter.
