PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
metal components
VpCI-378 is a water-based concentrate designed as a
• Gears, pumps, electric motors, housings, textile and
complete replacement for oil-based corrosion preventives.
VpCI-378 forms a brown emulsion in water and is applied
printing equipment
to metal surfaces by spraying or dipping. The wide dilution • Precision machined parts, structural steel, sintered
range with water allows flexibility to customize the length of metals, bars and roll stock
protection required vs. applied cost. The protective coating is • Additive to parts washers and rinse water systems,
also translucent and in ambient conditions becomes dry-to- hydroblasting and hydrotesting
touch 30 minutes from application. VpCI-378 is designed • Use as a quenching fluid or in dipping applications
to be removed with Cortec® VpCI-414 or other conventional operating at elevated temperatures
alkaline cleaners.

VpCI-378 is designed to protect ferrous and non-ferrous


metals in sheltered areas, indoors or in packaging, with
no direct exposure to rain or outdoor elements. In many
operations, removal is not necessary since coatings or paints
can be applied directly over treated surfaces at dilutions over
1:15.
