In the attached customer case from Cortec Corporation, you can see an example of a successful application where corrosion is dealt with in an efficient and environmentally friendly way. The application concerns corrosion on working machines that are exposed to tough daily stresses and wear from the surrounding environment.
The products used in the current application are a unique water-based, acrylic topcoat/primer for outdoor/indoor protection - Cortec VpCI 386. VpCI 386 provides a fast-drying thixotropic coating that forms a resistant protective barrier against rust and provides an attractive finish. The product is non-flammable and like most Cortec products, VpCI 386 is based on non-toxic components.
Metal surfaces that can be protected are:
- Carbon steel
- Cast iron
- Aluminium
- Stainless steel
- Copper
- Galvanised (first use VpCI 373 Green before applying VpCI 386 to galvanised)

Problems with rust - contact the Tribotec rust protection team
The Rust Protection Group works to prevent rust in companies' process flows, intermediate storage and internal buffering, and in connection with deliveries worldwide. With our extensive experience in vci corrosion protection we have helped several companies, large and small, to increase the quality of their deliveries and thus avoid complaints from their customers. Everyone in the Rust Protection Group has good experience of industrial production and of the risks and sources of rust.
Often we can achieve big improvements with very simple and small changes in the production process/flow Many companies accept having some rust in their production and thus increased costs and potential quality problems towards the end customer. Sometimes the problems increase during certain times of the year - which may have a natural explanation due to humidity and temperature. With relatively simple methods, we can solve these problems. Let us at Tribotec tackle the problem instead. Here you will find some examples of missions.
Contact one of us in the group and we will come to you free of charge and go through your process.
