Company Announcement - Cortec® has published its NEW Lubricant Brochure. This brochure delivers information on all that Cortec® lubricants have to offer our customers and clients. The available lubricants are detailed and categorized into four categories: greases, metalworking fluids, oils, and other lubricants. The brochure includes a buyer’s guide that expands upon the products’ descriptions, packaging options, and applications.

Cortec® lubricants provide lubrication and corrosion protection in humid and harsh environments by utilizing Nano-VpCI® (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors).  Cortec® not only offers highly effective corrosion inhibitors, but they also provide environmentally friendly options. Many products are USDA certified as biobased products.  Cortec® lubricants can be used to increase service life on conveyors, chains, cables, hinges, rollers, shafts, rails, pins, bearings, machinery, drives, motors, or doors. With years of experience and knowledge, Cortec® understands the needs of the market. In order to facilitate and achieve success, the main purpose of this brochure is to provide formulators with up to date information on new products, applications, and changes within the lubricants line of products. Cortec® lubricants integrate many technologies along our VpCI® chemistry in order to eliminate corrosion caused by corrosive fluids, chlorides, or humid environments.

VpCI® Technology
• Ionic Action of VpCI® Creates a Molecular Vapor Inhibiting Layer
• Conditions enclosed atmospheres with a protective vapor
• Vapor migrates to all recessed areas and cavities
• Vapor condenses on all metal surfaces
• Ions dissolve in moisture layer (water electrolyte)
• Protective ions are attracted to metal surfaces
• Ions form a thin, monomolecular protective layer at the metal surface
