VpCI®-386

VpCI^®-386 is a fast-drying, water-based acrylic topcoat designed for direct-to-metal (DTM) applications. It provides excellent adhesion to various metal substrates and forms a durable barrier in harsh outdoor, unsheltered environments. VpCI^®-386 provides multi-metal protection and superior UV resistance. VpCI^®-386 is developed with environmental health and safety in mind with lower VOC levels than traditional industrial paints. VpCI^®-386 is weldable and can be used to keep surfaces corrosion free prior to welding. It can be matched to most custom colors.

Application: Substrate should be free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, drawing compounds, rust inhibitors (except Cortec^® approved), or any other surface contamination that could affect adhesion. For production line applications, use VpCI^®-440 or similar phosphatizing pre-treatment. For structural steel applications, Cortec^® recommends a minimum of a NACE #3/SSPC-SP6 commercial blast clean. Consult Cortec^® Technical Service and/or test system adhesion prior to full scale application
