VCI Powder is a water-soluble formulation of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) for ferrous metals, cast iron, stainless steel & aluminum. For hydro-testing, dry fogging or as an additive to other water based fluids such as machine coolant, metalworking fluids, test baths, metal washing compounds, boiler water, closed loop water systems, degreasing solutions, mothballing lay-up of plant and equipment, test baths, metal washing compounds and final rinse in a production line. Used as dry powder for preservation of pipe, double wall pipe and double wall tank cavities.
VCI-1 Powder is an excellent rust inhibitor to add to parts washer and pressure washing equipment to add corrosion resistance to steel, cast iron and aluminum.
Method of Application
Wet or dry application technique. This formulation is especially effective way of protecting ferrous and aluminum metals from corrosion due to adverse environmental conditions such as high heat and humidity, seawater or other harsh environments.
Dry VCI Powder Application
For average conditions the recommended dosage is 0.30 ounces (weight) per cubic foot (28 Liters) of enclosed space.( 300 g/cubic meter) Concentration can be increased to protect metals under more severe conditions. Powder is applied by air fogging or sprinkle and then the treated area is closed or sealed.
Wet VCI Powder Application
For average conditions the recommended dosage as a solution is a 0.25% in water (based upon weight). This solution is recommended as a hydrostatic test fluid or as an additive to a final rinse in metalworking applications. Concentration can be increased to protect metals under more severe conditions. The treated area is then closed or sealed.
When re-using the hydro test water apply @ 2% by weight of the volume of water.
Parts Washers / Pressure Washers Rust Prevention Application
Add 2 % by weight of the volume of water detergent mixture.
