Primers - Providing a good base for your anti rust coatings system

A good anti rust primer provides an important baseline for any coatings system, not less so when corrosion protection is at stake. Primers provide good adhesion to the underlying ferrous and non ferrous metal surface and also offer good inner-coat adhesion to bond well with the topcoat. The end result is a stronger barrier against corrosion. Most standard applications require a primer and a topcoat; however, protection can be further enhanced with a two component primer system applied before the topcoat. We can offer specific primers to coat difficult substates such as stainless steel and galvanized steel.

Removable Rust Inhibitor Coatings

The removable rust inhibitor coatings that we offer deliver exceptional multimetal protection for outside applications and salt spray resistance. These removable anti rust coatings are an advanced, safe replacement for hazardous oil-based products. They are an excellent choice for long-term indoor protection that lasts up to 5 years and short to medium-term (6-24 months) unsheltered outdoor protection.
These completely safe and easy to use removable anti rust coatings cure to a soft film and eventually harden. They are very efficient in SO2 and H2S environments. The products leave a translucent, waxy coating that are easily removable, and are low in VOC’s. Cortec’s removable coatings can be easily removed with alkaline cleaners, such as Cortec® VpCI®-414. Ferrous and non ferrous metals protected against rust are: aluminum, steel, cast iron, copper alloy and tin plated steel.

Rust preventive coatings
Removable coatings are the best solution on the market for applications such as equipment lay-up, parts processing protection, overseas shipping, maintenance repairs, and parts storage. Traditional anti rust coatings rely on sacrificial metals (zinc, chromates, and 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.
The removable anti rust coatings that we offer 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 prevents corrosion from starting. With environmentally safe VpCI® technology, the equipment and products will get superior corrosion protection.

VpCI®-389 is a water-based, temporary coating which provides excellent protection for outside applications and salt-spray resistance. VpCI®-389 is an environmentally friendly replacement to oil-based products.
VpCI®-389 is an excellent choice for long-term indoor protection (up to 5 years*) and short to medium-term (6-24 months*) unsheltered outdoor protection. This product cures to a soft film and eventually hardens. VpCI®-389 can be easily removed with alkaline cleaners, such as Cortec® VpCI®-414.
The surface must be equivalent to ARS. Low A-3 and higher or SSPCs SPs 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10. The recommended film thickness range is 1-2 mils (25-50 microns).
Can be diluted with water for sprayability/application purposes; most working ranges are between 1:1 to 1:8 (VpCI®-389:Water). Mix VpCI®-389 prior to use. VpCI®-389 can be applied by spray, brush, roll, or dip. Normal WFT of 3-6-mils (75-150 microns) yields 1-2-mils (25-50 microns) DFT.
