A game changer in protecting sheltered metal parts (metals in storage or transit) from corrosion.
VpCI-372 is a water-based, peel-able vapour phase corrosion inhibitor coating that can be applied to metal parts’ surfaces by either dipping or using a spray brush.
In addition to protecting metal parts from corrosion, VpCI-372 is a physical barrier to abrasion, scratches, and other minor physical damage.
There are several advantages associated with using VpCI-372 peel-able coating:
- Different industries colour code parts for logistical reasons (for example, during identification, transportation, category, etc.). VpCI-372 can be tinted to match your company’s colour code for sheltered metal parts.
- VpCI-372 is a fast-drying peel-able coating that keeps metal parts clean and dry during storage or shipping. The coating is easily peel-able – a worker can peel it by hand. In addition, VpCI-372 is safe for workers as the coating does not require any exposure to solvents to peel.
- VpCI-372 is VOC-compliant, meaning it meets governmental regulations on volatile organic compounds. When metals no longer require corrosion protection, VpCI-372 can be peeled off and discarded as organic compounds.

When to Use VpCI 372 Peel-able Coating for Corrosion Protection
It would be best to use VpCI-372 as corrosion protection coating in the following circumstances:
- When temporarily protecting metal parts from atmospheric corrosion (such as rust). VpCI-372 can also protect metal parts in storage and transit from minor physical damages such as nicks, abrasion, scratches, etc.
- When you need to package metal parts that have an irregular shape – shapes that would otherwise make packaging a problematic process.
- When you want to ensure that the health of your workers is not compromised by using solvents to remove the protective coating.
- When you want to keep the environment clean by using organic compounds that do not pollute the environment.
- When you want to efficiently colour-code different categories of metal parts for logistical purposes while still protecting the metal parts from corrosion and physical abuse.
Where to Use VpCI-372 Peel-able Coating for Corrosion Protection
Using VpCI-372 is a cleaner way to protect parts from corrosion, as opposed to applying greasy coatings that are not environmentally friendly.
Here are more areas where you can apply VpCI-372:
- Metals with dynamic profiles – machines, threads, or even construction material such as splines can be protected from corrosion such as rust or physical abuse by using VpCI-372.
- Equipment storage – VpCI-372 can be used to store both heavy equipment as well as winter equipment. Remember, VpCI-372 ensures that parts remain clean and dry and can sit in storage for lengthy durations.
- VpCI-372 is also ideal for component masking. Since it can easily peel off without any use of solvents, VpCI-372 can be used to mask a component, for example, during paint application in painting booths. After paint application, peel off the VpCI-372 coating.
Conclusion
VpCI 372 is a water-based, peel-able corrosion inhibiting coating that can be applied to metal parts’ surfaces by either dipping or using a spray brush.
There are several advantages associated with using VpCI-372 peel-able protective coating:
- Different industries colour-code different parts for logistical reasons (identification, transporting, class, etc.)
- VpCI-372 is a fast-drying peel-able coating that keeps metal parts clean and dry during storage or shipping.
- VpCI-372 is VOC-compliant, meaning it meets governmental regulations on volatile organic compounds.
- Easy to peel off without needing solvents to remove the protective coating.
Applying VpCI-372 protective coating to metal parts in storage or transit would be best. It is a better alternative to greasy protectives that are not environmentally friendly or might harm workers’ health.
