Description:
Cortec® VpCI®-309 is a Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor Powder for corrosion protection of ferrous metals in recessed areas, interior cavities and voids. The VCIs vaporize and adsorb on all metal surfaces. They create an inhibiting layer on metal surfaces that provides up to 24 months of rust prevention. The protective layer self replenishes by continuous vapor redeposition. It does not contain nitrites, phosphates or heavy metals. Little or no surface preparation needed. Protected products can be shipped to customers without removing powder.

Packaging:
Available in 5 pound (2.3 kg) and 50 pound (23 kg) fiber-lined drums. Store indoors and out of direct sunlight. Contact Us to get a quote for this product in 100 pound (45 kg) drums, or to get a quote for a Silica Free version.

How to Use:
Apply Cortec® VpCI®-309 in dry form by dusting, fogging or sprinkling. After application simply cover, close or seal the interior cavity or void. Fog using a low pressure air hose and sandblast cup. Large conventional sandblasting systems can also be used. The product can be removed using a low pressure air gun or by a water rinse. Typically, if applied in aqueous form, it does not require removal.

Precautions:
Caking of powder may occur when exposed to moisture and then dried. Powder is not soluble in hydrocarbon fluids. Rinse from vessels before adding hydrocarbon fluids. Powder should be removed from area before welding. Contains silica, not recommended for steam application.

Dosage:
Use 0.3-0.5 ounce of VpCI®-309 per 1 cubic foot of enclosed space (300-500 g/m3).

Typical Applications:
VpCI®-309 protects carbon steel, stainless steel, steel alloys and aluminum. VpCI®-309 can be used to protect tubular structures, pipes and vessels. For internal surfaces of compressors, turbines, engines, tanks, boilers, heat exchangers. Use for dry layup of closed circuit cooling systems. It can also be used to protect equipment after hydrostatic testing and to protect parts and assemblies during shipping and storage.
