MICRO-CORROSION INHIBITING COATINGS POWERED BY NANO VPCI®
VpCI®-372 Peelable Coating
APPLICATION
Surface Preparation
Substrate should be free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, drawing compounds, rust inhibitors, or any other surface con-
tamination that could affect adhesion.For structural steel applications, Cortec® recommends a minimum of a NACE #3/
SSPC-SP6 commercial blast clean. Consult Cortec® and/or test system adhesion prior to full scale application.
Note: Make sure dew point is more than 5°F (2°C) less than air temperature for application. Power agitate to a
uniform consistency using a “squirrel cage” type mixer, hand-held drill mixer, or other equivalent method.  VpCI®-
372 can be applied by spray, roll, brush, or dip.
Typical Equipment Set Ups
HVLP / Conventional Spray
• Tip .009”-.021” *dependent upon pressures and viscosity
• Air Pressure 45-55 psi
• Fluid Pressure  10 psi
• Fluid hose should be 3/8” (0.95 cm) I.D. with a maximum length of 50 feet (15.2 m). Pot should always have dual reg-
ulation and be kept at same elevation as spray gun.
Air Assisted Airless / Airless
• Tip .015”-.035” *dependent upon pressures and viscosity
• Pressure 1800-2500 psi
• Hose should be 3/8” (0.95 cm) I.D. minimum, but a ¼” (0.64 cm) I.D. whip end section may be used for ease of appli-
cation. A maximum length of 100 feet (30.5 m) is suggested.
Clean Up
Clean tools/equipment immediately after use with water when coating is still wet.  When dry, simply peel off.
