VpCI-418 L is a non-foaming, heavy-duty alkaline cleaner/degreaser for cleaning industrial, oil field, commercial and marine equipment. Cortec VpCI 418L is designed for power washing machinery, high agitation parts washers, and high-pressure spray washers. (A silicate-free version, VpCI-418 LM is also available.)
