APPLICATION Cleanup
Surface Preparation Clean tools/equipment immediately after use with Butyl
Acetate when coating is still wet. For removal of VpCI®-369
Substrate should be free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, applied to a metal surface, use a VpCI®-41x Series alkaline
drawing compounds, rust inhibitors (except Cortec® ap- cleaner/degreaser. Follow mfg’s safety recommendations
proved), or any other surface contamination that could affect when using any solvent.
adhesion. Cortec® recommends a minimum of a SSPC-SP1
over painted surfaces. For bare metal applications, Cortec®
recommends a NACE #3/SSPC-SP6. Consult Cortec® Tech-
nical Service and/or test system adhesion prior to full scale
application.
Power agitate to a uniform consistency using a “squirrel cage”
type mixer, hand-held drill mixer, or other equivalent meth-
od. VpCI®-369 can be applied by spray, roll, brush, or dip.
Typical Equipment Setups
HVLP / Conventional Spray
• Tip 0.02”-0.11” (0.5-2.8 mm) dependent upon pressures
and viscosity
• Air Pressure 45-55 psi
• Fluid Pressure 10 psi
• Fluid hose should be ⅜” (0.95 cm) I.D. with a maximum
length of 50 feet (15.2 m). ¼” (0.64 cm) I.D. fluid hose can
be used, but pressures may need to be adjusted. Pot
should always have dual regulation and be kept at same
elevation as spray gun.
Air Assisted Airless / Airless
• Tip 0.015”-0.035” (0.38-0.89 mm) dependent upon pres-
sures and viscosity
• Pressure 1800-2500 psi
• Hose should be ⅜” (0.95 cm) I.D. minimum, but a ¼” (0.64
cm) I.D. whip end section may be used for ease of applica-
tion. A maximum length of 100 feet (30.5 m) is suggested.
