Layup of Manufacturing Facility
When evaluating the layup of a manufacturing facility, the task can be broken down by classification of equipment and systems into categories as follows:
- Structures
- Equipment
- Work in progress
- Finished goods
- Air systems
Each category will be broken into subsets with specific recommendations for products and applications.
Structures:
- Structural steel
- Inspect for areas of rust and/or peeling paint
- Power wash or use high pressure air to remove all loose rust and contaminants
- Determine if cross-section in rusted areas meets acceptable design parameters
- Options to address rust
- Option 1: Convert hematite to magnetite using CorrVerter® Rust Converter Primer; then topcoat with EcoShield® 386 clear or color match
- Option 2: Remove rust with VpCI®-423; remove VpCI®-423 with 10% solution of VpCI®-414; and topcoat with EcoShield® 386 clear or color match
Loading bay doors- Clean with 10% solution of VpCI®-414
- Spray all hinges, rollers, and roller trac/guides with CorShield® 369 Wet Film Corrosion Inhibitor and Lubricant
- Fasteners, locks, hinges, etc.
- Spray with CorShield® VpCI®-369 Wet Film Corrosion Inhibitor and Lubricant
Electricals:
- Control panels, power panels, and MCC
- Motors
- Deenergize system
- Closed frame motor
- Remove any rust with VpCI®-423
- Remove VpCI®-423 residual with 10% solution of VpCI®-414
- Coat exposed machined surfaces with VpCI®-391
- Insert VpCI®-101 Device into junction box
- Open frame motor
- Remove any rust with VpCI®-423
- Remove VpCI®-423 residual with 10% solution of VpCI®-414
- Coat exposed machined surfaces with VpCI®-391
- Insert VpCI®-101 Device into junction box
- Fog ElectriCorr® VpCI®-239 into motor core
- As a minimum, shrink wrap fan end with either MilCorr® VpCI® Shrink Film or VpCI®-126 HPUV
- Air systems
- Piping
- Purge and fill air lines, gauges, reservoirs with air pumped through VpCI®-308 Powder
Compressors- Air side – Fog with VpCI®-337 at 0.5 oz./ft3 (0.5 mL/L)
- Lubrication side – depending on type of lubricant, apply one of the below products by fogging at 0.5 oz./ft3 (0.5 mL/L), or add to oil at 5% by volume
- M-528 – PAG
- M-529 – PAO
- M-530 – Mineral
- M-531 – PAO
- Piping
Manufacturing equipment – lathes, drills, grinders, etc.- Deenergize equipment
- Remove any rust with VpCI®-423
- Remove VpCI®-423 residual with 10% solution of VpCI®-414
- Lubrication side – depending on type of lubricant apply one of the below products by fogging at 0.5 oz./ft3 (0.5 mL/L) or add to oil at 5% by volume
- M-528 – PAG

- Coolants – https://www.cortecvci.com/Publications/Brochures/Metalworking%20Broch.pdf
- Lathes, drills, grinders, tumblers, etc. – Add VpCI®-345 to coolant at 10% by volume; circulate and drain
- Guides, screws, etc. (surfaces subjected to relative motion) – Coat with VpCI®-369D
- Cross slides, headstock assembly, tailstock (components with lubrication oil)
- Depending on type of lubricant, apply one of the below products by fogging at 0.5 oz./ft3 (0.5 mL/L) or add to oil at 5% by volume
- M-528 – PAG
