Cortec VpCI®-396 Coating is a high solids, aromatic wet cure urethane for use on poorly prepared steel structures. VpCI®-396 is a direct-to-metal primer for multi-metal protection. For protected interior or exterior applications, VpCI®-396 can be used as the sole coating system. For exterior application with high exposure to UV radiation, VpCI®-396 must be covered with an aliphatic urethane as a top coat. In addition to being an exterior protective barrier, VpCI®-396 also contains Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors to enhance such protection. The VpCI®-396 is suitable for immersion structures when we apply CorrVerter® on top for poorly prepared structures eg. Ballast tank or shipping containers.
VpCI-396 is a very hard but flexible coating that cures when mixed with air. For best results, maximum curing conditions require a relative humidity between 20% and 80% with temperatures approaching 0ºC (32ºF).
