VpCI CorrVerter - Water-Based Rust Converter Datasheet

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONVpCI CorrVerter is a water-based primer recommended for application to rusty or poorly prepared steel surfaces where further corrosion protection is required and good surface preparation is difficult to achieve. VpCI CorrVerter is formulated to penetrate rust, eliminate rust, penetrate to the bare metal, and stop further rusting.VpCI CorrVerter contains a novel chemical chelating agent that modifies the surface rust into a hydrophobic passive layer. VpCI CorrVerter combines the above mentioned chelating agent with a high solids waterborne latex with extremely low water vapor permeability. The combination of the active chelating agent with a film-forming latex, thickeners and dispersant offers a unique formulation for a primer with excellent protection against re-rusting.VpCI CorrVerter does not contain tannic or phosphoric acids, provides long-term corrosion protection for poorly prepared substrates, and can be topcoated with solvent-based and water-based paints with no bleeding. For outdoor applications VpCI-386 or VpCI-387 can be utilized. For indoor applications, VpCI-396 may also be used.The combination of VpCI Corrverter and VpCI-396 or VpCI-395 provide the best immersion coating for submersion in water, salt water, hydro carbons and high salinity water. Therefore this coatings combination is Cortec’s best offer for immersion situations.FEATURES•?VpCI?CorrVerter?converts?rust?quickly?and?can?be?applied?under varying weather conditions•?Provides?1000+?hours?of?corrosion?protection?with?3-mil?(75 microns) application under salt spray conditions (ASTM B?117),?on?pre-rusted?steel?parts•?Can?be?topcoated?with?water-?and?solvent-based?topcoats?vs. tannic or phosphoric acid-based coatings, which can only be topcoated with solvent-based topcoats•?Provides?excellent?protection?against?re-rusting?(better?than?tannic or phosphoric acid-based converters)•?Water-based•?Very?low?VOC•?Environmentally?friendly,?non-toxic•?Non-flammable,?non-combustible•?Works?in?HCl,?H2S,?SO2,?&?CO2 vapor environmentsPROPERTIESAppearance Milky off-white viscous liquidTotal Solids, by weight 52-58%Total?Solids,?by?volume? ??40-42%Density? ??11.4-12.0?lb/gal?(1.36-1.44?kg/l)Salt?Spray?(ASTM?B?117)?1000?hours?at?3-5?wet?mils? ?(75-125?microns?DFT)VOC?(regulatory)? ?0.3-0.4?lb/gal?(35.9-47.9?g/l)VOC?(actual)? ?0.1-0.2?lb/gal?(11.9-24.0?g/l)Coverage? ?167-278?ft?/gal?(4.2-5.6?m2/l)TYPICAL APPLICATIONVpCI CorrVerter is recommended for use on all ferrous metal?surfaces?as?a?rust?converter/paint?primer.??The?product can be used in situations where proper cleaning or sandblasting is difficult.•?Industrial?maintenance•?General?metal?•?Marine•?Holding?tanksVpCI® CorrVerter® Rust PrimerAll statements, technical information and recommendations contained herein are based on tests Cortec Corporation believes to be reliable, but the accuracy or completeness thereof is not guaranteed.Cortec Corporation warrants Cortec® products will be free from defects when shipped to customer.
