Xyris has developed it own vapour phase corrosion inhibitor system (VCI) for mild steel (Xyro-Sorb VCI 39) and also produces other VCI masterbatches under licence to the CSIR. Vaportec distributes these products in South Africa. These products have been marketed in Europe in 2002. The next generation of VCI formulations based on food additives are being researched at the Institute of Applied Materials.
