An Analysis of Awareness and Expectations of Industrial Entities with Respect to Rust Prevention Technique Using VCI Technology

Corrosion of machinery equipment's or parts is a major problem with the industry at large. Hence protective techniques are deployed by the manufacturing industry to prevent the corrosion. The purpose of this paper is to study about the level of awareness and usage of Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) bags with respe0t to rust prevention for ferrous components. It also analyses the results after the trials were taken. Exploratory and experimental research is undertaken to study the stated purpose. For the study multi-stage sampling and snowball sampling techniques are used. The data collection is done with the help of stru<;.tured questionnaire, and scheduling technique is also used. Findings reveal that traditional methods are still widely been used by many industries. VCI in the form of poly or paper provides long term protection to the ferrous components and majority of the customers opined that it is necessary to create awareness of VG/bags.
