More Efficient Delivery Systems
These new delivery systems offer practical, economical breakthroughs for the protection of metal parts and products. Cortec’s® innovative use of VpCI/MCI® technology makes these treatment methods possible. Cortec® VpCIs are uniquely formulated for each type of delivery system. Whether liquid, powder, impregnated foam or plastic, VpCI formulations use technology to the best advantage for effective and economical corrosion protection. The creative use of VpCI technology offers improved protection even for conventional applications (brush, rubber blade, dip or spray).
How Cortec® VpCIs Works
Vaporizes
- Conditions enclosed atmosphere with a protective vapor
- Vapor migrates to all recessed areas and cavities
- Vapor condenses on all metal surfaces
- Ions dissolve in moisture layer (water electrolyte)
- Protective ions are attracted to metal surfaces
- Ions form a thin, monomolecular protective layer at the metal surface
- Protective layer re-heals and self-replenishes through further condensation of the vapor

VpCI combines with other functional properties:
Antistatic. Lubricating. Cleaning. Paint Removing. Desiccant. Polymeric. Coatings.
Rust. Removing. Fire Retarding.
