Wet or dry application technique. This formulation is especially effective way of protecting ferrous and aluminum metals from corrosion due to adverse environmental conditions such as high heat and humidity, seawater or other harsh environments.

Dry VCI Powder Application
For average conditions the recommended dosage is 0.30 ounces (weight) per cubic foot (28 Liters) of enclosed space.( 300 g/cubic meter) Concentration can be increased to protect metals under more severe conditions. Powder is applied by air fogging or sprinkle and then the treated area is closed or sealed.

Wet VCI Powder Application
For average conditions the recommended dosage as a solution is a 0.25% in water (based upon weight). This solution is recommended as a hydrostatic test fluid or as an additive to a final rinse in metalworking applications. Concentration can be increased to protect metals under more severe conditions. The treated area is then closed or sealed.

VCI-1 Powder Features

Non-Flammable
Safe Plant Handling
Low Odor
Provides corrosion protection in the liquid and the vapor phase

When used in hydrostatic testing the product provides protection in liquids below, above and at the liquid levels.
Protection of recessed and hard to reach areas. Complicated valves and the interior surfaces of piping and equipment, which are often difficult or impossible to reach, are protected with true Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor action.

Easy to Use VCI-1 Powder Corrosion Protection VCI Powder is applied by either blowing with conventional air blasting equipment or other methods using compressed air. Can be applied by sprinkling of VCI powder, rinsing or dipping metals in a solution of VCI powder & water, hydrotest solution, metalworking fluids, coatings, adhesives and water treatment formulations.

Solubility 15% at Room temperature.

Corrosion Protection Up to Two (2) Years.

Protected surfaces should be inspected, whenever possible, after the first six month period.

The product will protect metal surfaces for up to 24 months in a closed vessel.

Removal If required vci powder can easily be easily removed by flushing with water or blowing with air. VCI-1 Powder is 100% biodegradable.
