Cortec VpCI-416 is a heavy-duty water-based alkaline cleaner and degreaser offerinig unique flash corrosion protection. VpCI-416 can provide corrosion protection for up to 6 months during indoor storage. VpCI-416 is formulated to meet the requirements for cleaning and corrosion protection of parts and storage equipment. VpCI penetrates to remove greases and oil deposits from machinery, engines, vehicles, construction equipment and cranes in either industrial or marine applications.

The compounds contained in VpCI-416 function by altering hydrocarbons so that the deposits can be removed with water. VpCI-416 can be metered into power washers, steam cleaners, dip tanks and other cleaning equipment. Along with good detergent properties, VpCI-416 is hard water stable.

While most cleaning compounds available on the market today are simple blends of surfactants and detergents which limit their cleaning effectiveness, VpCI-416 offers improved cleaning plus multimetal corrosion protection action in one step, resulting in significant savings. VpCI-416 has the unique ability to remove such deposits as heavy hydrocarbons, grease, drawing and buffing compounds and machinery compounds.
