Cortec VCI 238

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

I have read about this product and it's use by Prevost. They say in their manual to re-coat certain electrical components.

It reads.

"To protect components from corrosion, a Cortec VCI-238 corrosion inhibitor has been sprayed in the following electrical compartments and compartments.

* front electrical compartment;

* DDEC III junction box (steering compartment );

* battery compartment;

* rear junction box ( engine rear compartment ).

The life expectancy of this product is five years, so it is recommended to spray it back every five years. It is also recommended to spray it on new components when added or replaced."

It is specifically called out in section 6 paragraph 4.1.1 Maintenance, of the Prevost Maintenance manual.

The following link will lead you to the product.

Can anyone comment on having done this or using the product?

Example number 3 seems to explain the product the best.

It might Dale, but you believe in the Prevo product overall and they have already used Cortec VCI 238 on your bus, and recommend reapplying it every 5 years, so why not just do what they say. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Jim-

I use a Silicone based aresol to waterproof my waverunners and help reduce saltwater corrosion on various parts of my boats electrical stuff also. I wonder if that could just be used since I already have a case of it. I guess, like you said, better to just use the product Prevost recommends.
