Cortec is pleased to announce VpCI-389, an
environmentally friendly water-based, temporary coating that delivers exceptional multimetal
protection for outside applications and salt-spray resistance. This
contemporary coating is an advanced, safe replacement for hazardous oil-based
products. It is an excellent choice for long-term indoor protection that lasts
up to 5 years and short to medium-term (6-24 months) unsheltered outdoor
protection.
Easy to Use and RemoveThis completely safe and easy to use coating cures to
a soft film and eventually hardens. It is very efficient in SO2 and
H2S environments. The product leaves a translucent, waxy
coating that is easily removable, it is low in VOC’s and dilutable with water. VpCI-389 can be
easily removed with alkaline cleaners, such as Cortec VpCI-414. It is available
in ready-to-use form - VpCI-389 D (1:1). Metals protected are: aluminum,
steels, cast iron, copper alloys and tin plated steel.
Preventing
Coatings Failure
Traditional coatings rely on sacrificial metals (zinc,
chromates, aluminum) for inhibition. Due to the large particle size of these
inhibitors, gaps exist which allow corrosion to start and eventually expand, causing
coating failure. Cortec VpCI-389 coating uses the patented VpCI technology to protect the metal substrate with a tight bonding molecular
structure. This system eliminates the gaps which occur with traditional
inhibitors and prevents corrosion from starting. With environmentally safe VpCI® technology,
the equipment and products will get superior corrosion protection.
Typical ApplicationsTypical applications for the product include:
- Equipment lay-up
- Parts processing protection
- Overseas shipping
- Maintenance repairs
- Parts storage
VpCI-389 coating was tested with excellent results in
ASTM D-1748 ( humidity chamber test) and ASTM B-117(salt spray chamber test).
It is in compliance with RoHS requirements
