Do you have corrosion / rust problems from your paint, varnish or coating? No problem! Cortec has a whole range of anti-rust additives that can help you.
Cortec's anti-corrosion additives integrate many different technologies together with its VpCI ( vci ) technology, thus eliminating corrosion/rust caused by corrosive fluids, chlorides or humidity. These additives can significantly reduce costs when implemented in the final product (paint/varnish/surface coating), eliminating costly material, rust reclamation and maintenance labour costs.
You can read about each type of additive in the brochure, which you can find here. All additives in the brochure have been developed for specific purposes.
We always recommend that each corrosion protection additive is evaluated for your particular application to ensure the compatibility of the additive before full scale implementation.
Unlike protective coatings and desiccants, the VCI corrosion protection method provides both active and passive protection. The chemical corrosion process is immediately affected by vapour phase and contact phase inhibitors. VpCI® means vapour phase inhibitor and is a registered trademark of Cortec® Corporation to make clear that Cortec®VCI has a real vapour phase protection and not only a contact protection as most VCI products have. Cortec VCI corrosion protection (VpCI®) is a cost-effective method that provides multi-metal protection (protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in one product).
How VpCI works®
VpCI®inhibitor is transported via a vapour phase (see picture) to all surfaces of the metal to be protected. As long as there is enough inhibitor in the vapour phase around the metal to maintain a condensed phase on the surface, adequate protection is achieved. The vapour phase only acts as a transport aid from the source to the metal surface where it builds up a molecule-thick layer of protection and thus stops the attack. All surfaces, including cracks, crevices and other inaccessible areas, are fully protected with VpCI®. 25 years of use and testing guarantee a reliable result.
Cost-effective
Now there's no need for surface preparation before application and cleaning during unpacking. Just unpack and you're done. Saves time and labour and reduces material consumption.
Environmentally friendly
Our vci corrosion protection solutions are based solely on environmentally friendly products. As protected components and parts do not need to be cleaned before use, this means that our vci corrosion protection is the most environmentally friendly and user-friendly option on the market. In addition, the corrosion protection itself is largely recyclable.
