Cortec VpCI®-375

Product Description

VpCI®-375 is a unique, water-based acrylic one coat system (primer & topcoat) that successfully provides protection in harsh, outdoor, unsheltered applications. The complex mixture of non-toxic, organic inhibitors offers protection that can compete with most paints and zinc-rich primers.

VpCI®-375 provides a fast-drying thixotropic coating that is resistant to sagging or running, forming a tough protective barrier. This dry-to-touch film offers extended protection for outdoor or indoor conditions. It gives optimal outdoor performance without cracking or chipping upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
