I use and sell VCIs made by the Daubert company. They have been making them
for more than 50 years. They make several different types, some to stop iron
from rusting and some to stop silver from tarnishing. They both work
extremely well but are in no way interchangeable. Fe + O2 =rust and Ag + S
= tarnish.

Bob,

I Live in the UK so any advice on where to buy will probably useless to you,
but for any UK peeps out there, 'RS components' sell a range of VCI'S you
can even buy the paper VCI strips in some department stores, (they are used
to stop Silver cutlery from tarnishing).

(I buy my packs of 5 paper strips from a Local shop for about £4 (~$6) they
measure about 6"x 2" each).

You are probably best to contact a good electronic component supply company
if you are in the US since they are often used to protect electronic
contacts and similar.

Or try http://www.cromwell-phoenix.com I know nothing about these people but
they are US based, give them a try?


Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the information on VCI emitters. Can you tell me a good
place to buy the VCI paper and about how much a sheet cost? Thank
you again!
Bob
