Protection of health when handling VCIs 
VCI products are not hazardous in the sense of the Hazardous Sub-
stances Ordinance. Nevertheless, the following points are to be ob-
served when handling VCIs: 
 Ensure good room ventilation. 
 Do not eat, drink or keep food at the workplace while working with 
VCIs. 
 Wear safety gloves. 
 Clean hands and face after working with VCIs. 
 For further information refer to www.branopac.com. 
Wear safety gloves to protect against chemical hazards. 
 
The following mothballing measures are required every 6 months: 
  Open the package. 
  Remove the VCI corrosion protection emitter from the package and 
replace it with a new, identical VCI corrosion protection emitter. New 
VCI corrosion protection emitters can be obtained at 
www.branopac.com.  
  Dispose of the old VCI corrosion protection emitter in an environmen-
tally compatible manner, professionally and in accordance with local 
regulations. 
  Seal the package. The better the external seal is designed, the more 
permanent the protection.
