VpCI® for Basic Metals Industries
Steel, aluminium and copper products can rust before they ever reach the customer. VpCI® papers, films and treatments protect coil, sheet, bar and castings from the mill through processing, storage and shipment.
The Challenge
For producers and processors of basic metals, corrosion claims are a direct hit to margin and reputation. Coil stored in humid warehouses, sheet interleaved with plain paper, bar stock shipped across climate zones — all arrive with rust unless actively protected.
Cortec® VpCI® products protect metal products at every stage: in-process treatments prevent flash rust after pickling and rolling, VpCI® papers and films protect coils and sheet in storage and transit, and powders and fogging fluids protect voids and internal surfaces of fabricated products.
