CorrVerter® Rust Primer
Description:
CorrVerter is a water-based primer recommended for application to rusty or poorly prepared steel surfaces where further corrosion protection is required and good surface preparation is difficult to achieve. CorrVerter is formulated to penetrate rust, eliminate rust, penetrate to the bare metal, and stop further rusting.

CorrVerter contains a novel chemical chelating agent that modifies the surface rust into a hydrophobic passive layer. CorrVerter combines the above mentioned chelating agent with a high solids waterborne latex with extremely low water vapor permeability. The combination of the active chelating agent with a film-forming latex, thickeners and dispersant offers a unique formulation for a primer with excellent protection against re-rusting.

CorrVerter does not contain tannic or phosphoric acids, provides long-term corrosion protection for poorly prepared substrates, and can be topcoated with solvent-based and water-based paints with no bleeding. For outdoor applications VpCI-386 or VpCI-387 can be utilized. For indoor applications, VpCI-396 may also be used.

The combination of CorrVerter and VpCI-396 provides the best immersion coating for submersion in water, salt water, hydro carbons and high salinity water.
Application: Outdoor storage, aircraft, elevators, storage tanks, vehicles, pumps, cargo holds, marine equipment.
Package:
CorrVerter is available in 5 gallon (19 liter) plastic containers. Keep product from freezing. The shelf life of the coating is one year.

CorShield® Gold
Description: CorShield® Gold is a brilliant true gold colored waterbased coating. It has excellent salt spray and humidity resistance similar to VpCI®-386 Aluminum and is available in one package system. CorShield® Gold provides protection in harsh, outdoor, unsheltered applications. The complex mixture of nontoxic organic inhibitors and a platelet type gold pigment offers protection that can compete with zinc rich coatings. This special combination of additives, a platelet pigment, and a polymer barrier, significantly retards the reaction of metal ionization and repels water. It protects against corrosive electrolytes and aggressive environments, thus preventing corrosion.
Package:CorShield® Gold is available in 5 gallon (19 liter) pails and 55 gallon (208 liter) drums, and liquid totes.

VpCI®-2026 Top Coat
Description:
VpCI-2026 Top Coat is a 100% solids, 2-component, novolac epoxy coating designed for environments that require a high degree of chemical or temperature resistance. VpCI-2026 Top Coat is available in clear, and can be colored with any of the VpCI-2026 HPCS colorants.
Application:
The recommended application of this product involves pouring it in a narrow line directly onto the surface and then spreading it with a squeege. Spread the coating in a continuous manner from one side of the area being coated to the other. Immediately follow with a 3/8” (0.95cm) nap shed resistance roller. The VpCI- 2026 must be rolled as evenly as possible. To do this, roll forward in a straight line and then roll the same column backwards. Overlap the next column to be rolled by 1/2” (1.27cm) with the previously rolled column. Avoid excess agitation of the liquids with the roller. This will lessen chances of bubbling of the final film. The individual(s) applying the VpCI-2026 Top Coat should be wearing “spiked sandals”.

VpCI®-386 Aluminum
Description: VpCI®-386 Aluminum is a unique, water-based primer/topcoat that successfully provides protection in harsh, outdoor, unsheltered applications. The complex mixture of non-toxic, organic inhibitors and an aluminum pigment offers protection that can compete with most paints and zinc-rich primers. VpCI®-386 Aluminum is superior to many coatings with only inorganic pigments because the resistance has been improved by using a highly corrosion resistant aluminum platelet type pigment with organic corrosion inhibitors. The special combination of additives provides a composite polymer barrier that significantly retards the reaction of metal ionization and repels water. A protective film is adsorbed onto metal surfaces. It protects against corrosive electrolytes and aggressive environments, thus preventing corrosion.
Application: VpCITM-386 Aluminum can be used as a topcoat/primer. When solvent-based topcoats are applied over VpCITM- 386 Aluminum, compatibility must be checked. VpCITM- 386 Aluminum can also be used as a topcoat with Cortec® VpCITM-374 or VpCITM-395 as a primer.
