CONCEPT Add corrosion inhibition products to your customer’s products to enhance their anti-corrosion properties Add corrosion inhibition products to your customers products to solve their corrosion problems
How VpCI Technology Works Metal Surface Anode Cathode - - - - - - - - + + + + + + + - - Dissolved VpCI Ions + + + - 1 Molecules of VpCI in gaseous phase 2
VpCI’s preventing oxygen and water molecules Light Blue: oxygen molecules Dark Blue: water molecules Metal
Cortec VpCI Additives for Coatings Synergistic blend of Organic VpCI with Liquid organic contact corrosion inhibitors Traditional pigment technology Additives for both water based and solvent based coatings Environmentally friendly VpCI corrosion inhibitor technology
Organic VpCI’s vs. Pigment Corrosion Inhibitors Attach themselves to metal surfaces and prevent initiation of corrosion Fill in void spaces as they are smaller and plentiful Pigment Acts as sacrificial layer Large particles that leave gaps is where corrosion can occur
Organic additives vs. Conventional Pigment additives
Challenges while Using Pigments Toxicity Settling Resin Reactivity Scribe Protection
Typical Toxicity Comparison LD50 (Lethal Dose) Table Salt = 3100 mg/Kg of rat Nitrites = 86 mg/Kg of rat Chromates = 150 mg/Kg of rat VpCI 309 P = 2800 mg/Kg of rat
Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors-VpCIs Organic compounds Environmentally Friendly Low Toxicity VpCIs Migrate VpCIs are self healing
Additive for Coatings Water-based Additives – Flash Rust Inhibitors M-111 M-240 M-241 M-380 M-435 Water-based Additives – Long Term Corrosion Protection M-118 M-119/M-119LV M-381 Solvent Based Additives M-109 M-110 M-168 M-5365
VpCI Coatings vs. Non-VpCI Coatings Blisters, creepage Lower DFT
Traditional Alkyd
Vinyl Toluene Alkyds
Traditional Acrylic
Excellent Flash Rust Inhibition
Conclusions VpCIs coatings additives improves Scribe resistance Salt spray & Humidity resistance Contact inhibition Standard industrial coatings can be modified with VpCIs as corrosion inhibitors
