VpCI-416 can provide corrosion protection for up to 6 months during indoor storage. VpCI-416 is formulated to meet the requirements for cleaning and corrosion protection of parts and storage equipment. VpCI-416 penetrates to remove greases and oil deposits from machinery, engines, vehicles, construction equipment, and cranes in either industrial or marine applications.The compounds contained in VpCI-416 function by altering hydrocarbons so that the deposits can be removed with water. VpCI-416 can be metered into power washers, steam cleaners, dip tanks, and other cleaning equipment. Along with good detergent properties, VpCI-416 is hard water stable.While most cleaning compounds available on the market today are simple blends of surfactants and detergents which limit their cleaning effectiveness, VpCI-416 offers improved cleaning plus multimetal corrosion protection action in one step, resulting in significant savings. VpCI-416 has the unique ability to remove such deposits as heavy hydrocarbons, grease, drawing and buffing compounds, and ma-chinery compounds.
