VpCI Technology

Clean , Protect and Preserve

VpCITechnology is a revolutionary, environmentally safe and cost-effective option for corrosion protection. Cortec® products protect with a thin, mono-molecular protective barrier. The barrier re-heals and self-replenishes, and can be combined with other functional properties for added protective capabilities. Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors form a physical bond on the metal surface and form a barrier layer to aggressive ions. For use in pipelines, oil and gas wells, refinery units and fuels

Creates a Molecular, Inhibiting Layer.
  • Conditions enclosed atmosphere with a protective vapor.
  • Vapor migrates to all recessed areas and cavities.
  • Vapor condenses on all metal surfaces.
  • Ions dissolve in moisture layer (water electrolyte) .
  • Protective ions are attracted to metal surfaces.
  • Ions form a thin, monomolecular protective layer at the metal surface.
  • Protective layer re-heals and self-replenishes through further condensation of the vapor
