2. 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

3. How VpCI Technology Works
Metal Surface
Anode
Cathode - - - - - - - - + + + + + + + - -
Dissolved VpCI Ions + + + - 1
Molecules of VpCI in gaseous phase 2

4. VpCI’s preventing oxygen and water molecules
Light Blue: oxygen molecules
Dark Blue: water molecules

5. 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

6. 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

7. Organic additives vs. Conventional Pigment additives

8. Challenges while Using Pigments
Toxicity
Settling
Resin Reactivity
Scribe Protection

9. Typical Toxicity Comparison
LD50 (Lethal Dose)
Table Salt = mg/Kg of rat
Nitrites = mg/Kg of rat
Chromates = mg/Kg of rat
VpCI 309 P = mg/Kg of rat

10. Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors-VpCIs
Organic compounds
Environmentally Friendly
Low Toxicity
VpCIs Migrate
VpCIs are self healing
