VpCI® Dragon and VpCI® Dragon FO
DESCRIPTION
Designed for the complex interiors of large boiler and steam systems, VpCI® Dragon is a ready-touse, waterborne fogging fluid offering multi-metal protection. Ideal for the long– and short-term dry layup, VpCI® Dragon’s vapor phase properties provide continuous protection against corrosion throughout the entire boiler system, with no direct-to-metal application required.
As a safer, more effective alternative to traditional boiler layup options, such as desiccants, quicklime, or nitrogen blankets, VpCI® Dragon makes boiler preservation virtually hands-off. Just fog VpCI® Dragon into the drained boiler system, and Cortec®’s unique Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors form a molecular barrier on all metal surfaces inside, including recessed or otherwise hard-to-reach areas.
As a further economic incentive, boiler systems preserved with VpCI® Dragon can be returned to service immediately, with no cleaning, degreasing, or flushing required.
VpCI® Dragon is also available as VpCI® Dragon FO, a ferrous-only version.
