Water Based Temporary Coating in UAE – VpCI-388 Water-Based Temporary Coating
VpCI-388 Water-Based Temporary Coating is designed to protect metal surfaces during storage and transportation. Metal parts do not always go straight from production to installation. Some remain in storage for weeks, while others move through sea freight, road transport, open yards or warehouse handling. During this time, surfaces are exposed to moisture, dust, salt air and fingerprints, which can lead to rust before the product even reaches the customer.
Benefits of VpCI-388 Water-Based Temporary Coating
VpCI-388 Water-Based Temporary Coating helps solve this problem in a simple way. It forms a dry protective film on metal surfaces, acting as an effective water-based temporary coating. Unlike oily coatings, it does not leave a heavy greasy finish, making parts easier to handle, pack and inspect.
This product is ideal for companies that need reliable short-term corrosion protection for metal components. Alvina supplies VpCI-388 Water-Based Temporary Coating across the UAE and also supports customers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.
What is VpCI-388 Water-Based Temporary Coating?
VpCI-388 is a temporary, removable coating that leaves a firm, dry film on metal surfaces. It provides long-term indoor corrosion protection for up to three years depending on conditions and film thickness. In addition, it can support medium-to-short outdoor protection where sheltered or controlled conditions apply.
The product is water based and quick drying. It can protect many metal types and can also give extra protection to painted surfaces. Users can apply it by spray, brush, roll or dip, depending on the part size and site requirement.
Since the coating is removable, it suits products that need protection only during storage, transport or lay-up. Once the part is ready for use, users can remove the coating with a suitable alkaline cleaner.
