Cortec VpCI®-316 Liquid Concentrate Primarily for Copper and Brass

Product Description

VpCI®-316 is a water-based corrosion preventative concentrate designed to replace corrosion inhibiting oils for copper. It leaves behind a very thin, transparent, tack-free protective film that often does not need to be removed from the metal surface before further processing. When diluted with water before application, VpCI®-316 produces a corrosion inhibiting and lubricating film that provides resistance to scratching and mechanical damage of finely machined parts. It also provides sufficient lubrication for stamping and cutting processes. VpCI®-316 offers economical corrosion protection for one to 24 months due to a wide dilution range of 2-30% in water. It does not contain nitrite or phosphate inhibitors.
