VpCI’s preventing oxygen and water molecules

• Light Blue: oxygen molecules

• Dark Blue: water molecules

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

• VpCI’s

• 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. Organic additives vs. Conventional Pigment additivesConventional 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-380– M-381

• Solvent Based Additives– M-109– M-110– M-168– M-435– M-5365

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
