Most metals become extremely contaminated with heavy rust, scale and hydrocarbon deposits. It is of crucial importance that these contaminants are successfully removed before further processing will be effective!

Cortec has developed a diverse range of corrosion protection products, including powerful VpCI®-414 Cleaner and Degreaser. VpCI®-414 is a specially designed, heavy duty temporary coating and wax remover for metal and painted surfaces. This non toxic, non flammable, water soluble and biodegradable concentrate is extremely effective in the removal of dirt, oils and greases or other cosmoline like products. As a viscous liquid, VpCI®-414 is ideal for under hanging and vertical applications. The product provides multi metal corrosion protection even after parts have been cleaned, for up to 48 hours.

VpCI® 414 does not affect painted surfaces and remains active even if left to dry. It is mostly used at room temperature, thus reducing energy consumption but it can also be used in a heated bath for heavy hydrocarbons. The viscous liquid will cling to ceilings and vertical surfaces in a ready to use formulation. The product is highly effective at low concentrations, diluted as low as 1% concentration (by volume) and higher. It is easily applied and no special protective equipment is needed. Metals protected are carbon, stainless and galvanized steel, cast iron, copper and brass.

VpCI® 414 is used in cleaning and corrosion prevention applications by global companies worldwide such as General Motors and many others. The United States Air Force used VpCI® 414 as part of Cortec's Clean, Protect, Preserve program and achieved high performance and cost effectiveness with this easy method of surface preparation.
