Using Cortec® patented Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI®) technology, VpCI®-391 provides a water-borne coating for medium to long-term outdoor protection. Classified as a temporary coating because it can be removed with alkaline cleaners, the product features excellent salt, humidity, and UV resistance for outside applications.
Cortec® VpCI®-391
offers users an environmentally friendly exterior coating. In addition to being
water-borne, the coating is a complex mixture of non-toxic organic inhibitors
formulated with a water-based acrylic polymer. It provides a very low VOC that
dries to a resilient, tack-free coating in 30 to 60 minutes.
This coating incorporates
Cortec’s patented VpCI® technology for superior corrosion protection
for aluminum, carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and galvanized
steel. It allows metal equipment, parts,
and structures to withstand outside exposure or storage without deterioration
due to corrosive
attack. Because the product comes
standard as a clear coating, users can easily determine the condition of metal surfaces with
simple visual inspection.
Coated materials can be
protected for up to 5 years. When necessary, the VpCI®-391 coating
is easily removed with alkaline cleaning. This means that large metal parts or
equipment can be stored outside for extended periods of time. When needed, they
are easily inspected, cleaned, and put into service. It saves on valuable
warehouse space while assuring that metal parts can successfully weather
through outside storage.
The coating provides a
very cost effective solution to exterior type paints where metal equipment,
parts, or structures are in actual service outside but performance regulations
require periodic paint removal and re-application. The coating typically
provides superior corrosion protection to permanent exterior paints and is less
hazardous, environmentally safer, easier, and more cost effective — especially
for re-application.
Cortec’s VpCI®-391
conforms to ASTM B-117 Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog)
Apparatus and ASTM D-1748 Standard Test Method for Rust Protection by Metal
Preservatives in Humidity.
