In the world of automotive and heavy-equipment parts suppliers, both short-term and long-term rust prevention is critical to prevent serious loss from rust claims. Equally critical is finding a rust preventative that will be effective and easy enough to use. Cortec’s VpCI®-369 is one excellent option with widespread popularity. It has been found to be a convenient, superior alternative to many common long-term rust preventatives on the market.
VpCI-369 is an oil-based temporary coating that provides extreme corrosion protection in aggressive environments and is one of Cortec’s most-popular wet film corrosion inhibitors. It is an excellent option for protecting auto service parts and heavy-equipment components before assembly. Since VpCI-369 is thixotropic, it can be mixed so that the product changes consistency to enhance sprayability for application with an airless sprayer. Once applied, it thickens so that it does not run off the metal. The product can be tinted to blue, green or other custom colors if desired to help workers detect sufficient product coverage. Those working with military agencies can use VpCI-369M as a MIL-spec version that conforms to MIL-PRF-16173E (Grade 2).
