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

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.=20
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
