VpCI-372 E is an extra thick version of a water-based acrylic peelable coating and provides protection in harsh, outdoor, unsheltered applications. The E version is a high-build/high-viscosity product specially designed to protect metal surfaces such as splines, threads or machined areas that have dynamic profiles. It can be applied to metal surfaces by spraying, rolling, brushing or dipping and is thick enough not to sag or run off the surface when applied. In one to two hours, the coating is dry to the touch and hardens into a thick covering that protects multi-metals from corrosion and also offers UV resistance.
The coating protects freshly machined surfaces against physical abrasions, such as nicks or dents. When the coated metal part reaches its destination or is needed for use, VpCI-372 E can simply be peeled off and discarded as solid waste, leaving behind a clean and corrosion-free surface.
The coating has very low levels of VOC according to ASTM D3960 (0.2 lb./gal [24 g/L]) and is dry to handle in 2 to 3 hours. It has passed more than 1,000 hours of testing in both humidity and salt spray chambers, according to ASTM D1748 and ASTM B117, respectively. It can also be matched to some custom colors to suit application needs and can be hand-applied to individual parts or used in automatic production line applications.
VpCI-372 E is a unique, user-friendly option to consider for preserving dynamic metal profiles such as pipe splines and other surfaces in the best condition possible. It's an environmentally friendly, easy-to-use alternative to hazardous rust preventatives and other temporary coatings.
