When the desired period of protection is one year, would it be possible to reduce the percentage of the VCI masterbatch to achieve this?
A. It is plausible to assume that it would be possible to initiate a development program that might determine the absolute minimum amount of VCI masterbatch for a specific period of protection. The program would be complicated, however, by also having to consider the conditions under which the film would be expected to perform (temperatures, humidity, etc.). It would seem more practical to simply reduce the gauge of the film to achieve a goal of using the absolute minimum amount of VCI for an application.
