PRODUCT DESCRIPTION


VpCI-375 is a water-based acrylic primer that dries quickly and incorporates VpCI corrosion inhibitors that increase durability and corrosion resistance.
VpCI-375 provides excellent protection on surfaces that do not necessarily need to be immediately covered with paint.
This primer is especially suitable for repaired structural steel and for steel surfaces with a profile greater than 1 mil. The complex blend of non-toxic organic inhibitors offers protection that can compete with most zinc-rich paints and primers.
VpCI-375 being a fast drying and thixotropic coating, it is resistant to slipping and sagging, forming a resistant and protective barrier. This dry-to-touch film provides great protection in both outdoor and indoor conditions.
It performs optimally outdoors, without cracks or wear from prolonged exposure to sunlight.
