VpCI® TECHNOLOGY
VpCI® technology protects multi-metals in enclosed environments.
How Cortec VpCI Works
Ionic action of VpCI® creates a molecular, inhibiting layer. Cortec’s VpCI® technology works by emitting a vapour that forms inhibiting layer on metal surfaces at a molecular level. The self-replenishing layer will prevent or reduce corrosion activity down to adequate levels.
- Cortec® VpCI vaporizes
- Saturates enclosed atmosphere with a protective vapour
- Vapour migrates to all recessed areas
- Vapour 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 surface over the metal

How Cortec VCIs Cut Costs
Use Cortec systems in every stage of a product’s life, starting from the production of metal stock to actual use in the field. When properly applied, Cortec VCIs substantially cut time and costs throughout the entire product life cycle: in manufacturing, storage, shipment and field service.
Cortec VCIs eliminate many extra processing steps such as cleaning, degreasing, rust removal, pickling, sandblasting and reprotecting. You have less re-work, fewer rejects, improved quality, reduced rust claims and extended equipment life.
