Corrosion Protection in Recyclable Cans
Cortec has introduced EcoAir VpCI-337, a biodegradable waterborne vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor, in a spray can powered by compressed air. The recyclable cans use bag-on-valve technology and can be sprayed in any direction. When the can is empty, users simply pop the top off, remove the inner bag and throw the aluminum can into a recycling bin. EcoAir VpCI-337 can be used on hot- and cold-rolled steel, silicon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, zinc and brass. It conforms to standard test methods, including ASTM D-1735, ASTM D-1748 and NACE RP0487-2000.
