I just ordered some Cortec from Zenith.  I tried to grab an MSDS sheet from Cortec (http://www.cortecvci.com/Products/products.php?showonly=HighPerfCoat ), but I had to sign up for an account and am waiting approval.  Can someone forward me the MSDS or a list of the safety equipment needed to use this stuff?



Thanks,

Tom

Here's my notes for using Cortec. It's about as nasty as Latex house 

paint for smell so I don't wear anything.



Regards,

Jeff

Thinning, thin using denatured alchohol to the consistency of 2 percent milk. Zenith uses it thick, however this is contrary to the manufacturers specification, and is a mistake. 



Cortec Spec- VpCI®-373 is applied at an extremely thin thickness of 0.5-1.0 mil (12.5-25 microns) DFT. 



How thin? I mix the stuff from Zenith about 25-50% with alchohol to get the product to where it works well. 



Thinning with water alone does not work very well, as the product does not adhere as well. 50/50 alchohol/distilled water works ok. 



Parts pre-cleaning. 



Small parts I hand wash with hot water, dishwashing detergent, and scotchbrite pads in the basement sink. Rinse well. Cortec can be applied without having to dry the parts. 



Winter - I use windhield washer fluid (it is simply methanol and water at a cheap price), and scotchbrite pad's. Scrub the parts clean. Wipe off the residue with a washer fluid wetted rag. Final wipe with denatured alhohol. 



Summer - Hot soapy water, and scotchbrite pads outdoors, then rinse with the hose. Wipe with denatured alchohol. 



Application - I apply the product via disposable paint brushes. It will tun a hazy blue as it dries. Then will turn clear. 



Cleanup - Removes with MEK quite easily when dried. 



Notes - Gasoline, and avgas will dissolve it. So it must be topcoated if exposed to fuel. It will soften if it is continuously wet, so exposed areas should be topcoated as well.

Do a google search on "cortec 373" you'll find the official docs online 

without the account.

I do not know if it is the same VCI-373 that they shipped me... I also am awaiting approval for access to the MSDS's at the Cortec site.
