Degreasing and cleaning with VCI corrosion protection

Cleaning metal surfaces without adding a protective coating often carries the risk of rapid corrosion, especially in humid environments. Using products that both degrease and leave a protective film streamlines the workflow while ensuring component life.

• We recommend Cortec 414 for powerful cleaning and degreasing that also provides good temporary rust protection. It is a versatile agent that effectively removes both waxes and coatings without damaging underlying metal or painted surfaces.
• For a subsequent or stand-alone protection, we recommend Cortec 377.
  It is a water-soluble and biodegradable rust inhibitor that works on everything from carbon steel to copper and aluminium.

The product leaves a transparent, dry film that does not need to be removed before the next coating, making it an ideal solution for fast and safe handling of metal parts in production.
