High Performance Coatings

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™ coatings use 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 prevent corrosion from starting.

Cortec® VpCI™ Products solve a wide variety of corrosion problems
VpCIs protect a multitude of metal products. Spraying or dipping metals with VpCIs provides fast and economical protection for exterior and interior surfaces. Our technically trained staff can help you decide which product you need for long lasting and complete protection of your corrosion sensitive products.

Productivity, investment protection and cost reduction
The total economic loss from metal corrosion approaches a staggering $276 billions annually in the United States. This huge loss comes from products that must be reprocessed, scrapped due to corrosive attack, sold at a lower graded or at the quality reductions. This leads to lost productivity and profit.

The Industrial-Strength Edge in Safe VpCI™ Corrosion Protection
Cortec® offers environmentally safe solutions for all of your corrosion problems. Our temporary coatings come off as easily as they go on, and can have a long-life. Cortec® coatings provide temporary protection during in-plant processing, shipment or storage. Our coatings offer the same performance/environmental standards as permanent applications, and are easily removed with Cortec Removers, or any, environmentally safe cleaner. In many situations, they do not need to be removed at all.

Cortec® coatings provide permanent protection for field service, corrosive maintenance and OEM coatings
Cortec® can recreate your current colors with a customized formula, or simply match it from our extensive list of standard colors. Most Cortec® coatings have outstanding UV resistance capabilities. Cortec® products also have excellent gloss retention, which is important when aesthetics are a consideration. With environmentally safe VpCI™ technology, your equipment and products will be effectively protected against humidity, saltwater oxidizing atmospheres and corrosive industrial, marine and tropical environments.
