How Cortec® VpCI Works

lonic Action of VpCI^® Creates a Molecular, Inhibiting Layer.

1. Cortec^® VpCI vaporizes
2. Saturates enclosed atmosphere with a protective vapour
3. Vapour migrates to all recessed areas and cavities
4. Vapour condenses on all metal surfaces
5. Ions dissolve in moisture layer (water electrolyte)
6. Protective ions are attracted to metal surfaces
7. Ions form a thin, monomolecular protective layer surface over the metal
