Water based rust preventives have been trending in industry for a while now. These products were develop as an environmentally friendly alternative to classic oil based rust preventatives. We have a wide range of products available for either indoors or outdoors protection. Indoors Water based formulations are extremely attractive because they are lower cost than most oils, usually VOC free, safe to store and manipulate, have excellent humidity chamber results and can sometimes be used as metalworking fluids or metalworking fluid additives. Outdoors capable corrosion inhibitors are also a very attractive solution that can provide similar protection as their solvent-based counterparts while being safer to use, manipulate and dispose. The biggest drawback to going Water based is that surface preparation requirements are higher and results are less forgiving to a non optimum level of cleanness.

VpCI®-377 / EcoAir® VpCI®-377
Water based Rust Preventive Concentrate For Indoors Protection
VpCI®-377 is a Water based concentrate designed as a complete
replacement for oil-based rust preventives for indoor protection of
equipment and components. VpCI®-377 is a corrosion preventive
liquid that meets tough anti-pollution requirements. The wide
dilution range with water (0.5-20%)* allows flexibility to customize
the length of protection required and the applied cost per square
foot (or m2).
VpCI-377 forms a solution in water and is applied to
metal surfaces by spraying or dipping. VpCI-377 does
not need to be removed, but if necessary, can be removed
with conventional Alkaline cleaners.

-CAT 1E4971 (1E4969-RT) approved.
VpCI®-377 is available in 5 gallon (19 liter) pails, 55 gallon (208
liter) drums, liquid totes, and bulk. The product should be stored
sealed in a heated warehouse to avoid freezing.
VpCI®-377 is also available in EcoAir® compressed air cans (12
oz. / 340 g) bottles.
Biocorr®-Ready To Use
Biodegradable Water based Rust Preventive
BioCorr® Rust Preventative is a waterbased, biobased, and
biodegradable rust preventive product that is intended for preservation
of metals in storage and during transportation. BioCorr® Rust
Preventative provides multi-metal protection and is an excellent
environmentally sound alternative to petroleum derived products.
This ready-to-use formulation can provide protection for up to
two years of indoor storage; or during shipments when combined
with VpCI® packaging materials. Unlike rust preventative oils this
product leaves a dry film on the surface of the metal that is virtually
undetectable. This feature helps to create a clean workplace and
prevents material waste. BioCorr® Rust Preventative is biodegradable;
eliminating expensive disposal costs associated with oils.
BioCorr® Rust Preventative has been awarded USDA BioPreferred SM
designation (www.biopreferred.gov).

S-8
Corrosion Inhibitor for Food Can Protection
S-8 is a unique product formulated only from FDA approved
ingredients. It can be used in very low concentration and still
provide complete corrosion protection in water, its vapors
and their interface. This product is especially useful for the
corrosion protection of metallic cans with different food items
during their washing or sterilization of the packed food.
S-8 is a non-toxic “green” filming corrosion inhibitor.
Sodium salt of fatty amino acids and amino alcohol are the
active ingredients of S-8.
S-8 is available in 5 gallon (19 liter) plastic pails, 55 gallon (208 liter) metal drums, liquid totes, and bulk.
VpCI®-337
Pure VCI In Water Solution
VpCI®-337 is a ready-to-use waterborne corrosion inhibitor used
primarily for robust preservation of internal void spaces. Vapor
phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI®) in VpCI®-337 migrate to protect
metal surfaces resulting in time and cost savings. When combined
with labor-saving techniques, minimum amount of product can be
used to protect large areas or volumes. VpCI-337 is effective on
multiple metals.
VpCI®-337 is a combination of contact and vapor corrosion
inhibitors, which allows a wide range of uses; from low-dose voidspace protection to steel coil edge spray.
