| New coating protects for high temperature applications Cortec Corporation introduces a new, high temperature coating that provides up to 50% longer life. Cortec VpCI-371 has achieved 1000 hours of salt spray resistance to withstand temperatures greater than 1112°F. Cortec VpCI-371 was developed for parts and equipment in power generation, aviation, chemical, refinery and off shore drilling industries. At highly elevated temperatures, exhaust stacks, turbines, engines, generators and piping require extraordinary protection to withstand the greatly increased corrosive attack and metal fatigue brought on by extreme heat. To fight corrosion, the coating incorporates Cortec VpCI technology for enhanced corrosion protection. The Cortec VpCI offers continuous protection to the metals' substrate and does not evaporate or burn away at elevated temperatures. When micro corrosive sites develop, the VpCI releases additional inhibitors to protect the affected areas. This unique capability helps minimize the breakdown of metal which is very susceptible to aggressive gases and moisture during any cool down. VpCI-371 is a single component coating, air cure system. The product features high solids with low viscosity that dries quickly after application. It has a high aluminum appearance but no hard settling of aluminum. Its hard coating of 9H pencil hardness helps resist abrasion from grit, sand, and rocks. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
