The use of traditional corrosion inhibitors in paints and coatings continues to be challenged from both an environmental and performance aspect. End users are demanding better corrosion performance and in many cases this cannot be achieved with traditional zinc or chromate type inhibitors. The use of VCIs (vapor corrosion inhibitors) in coating formulations has shown that in many systems, they can replace the older technology or significantly improve the performance of the system by working in synergy with the existing inhibitors.
