ALTIC VCTI COATING is a specialized industrial coating designed as the primary functional layer within the ALTIC VCTI Coating System. It is applied over the compatible ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER and can be finished with ALTIC VCTI COATING TOPCOAT where specified.
The coating is intended for suitable industrial substrates where a properly designed multi-layer protective coating system is required. It helps provide a continuous coating layer over the prepared substrate and supports the overall integrity and durability of the VCTI system.
The complete coating system should be selected according to the substrate, operating conditions, environmental exposure and latest ALTIC technical documentation.

ALTIC VCTI COATING TOPCOAT
1. VCTI Coating Primer
Provides the foundation and helps establish suitable adhesion between the substrate and the VCTI coating.
2. VCTI Coating
Provides the primary functional coating layer.
3. VCTI Coating Topcoat
Provides the final protective and finishing layer where required.
Using the compatible system components helps ensure that each layer performs its intended function.
Typical Applications
ALTIC VCTI COATING may be considered for suitable industrial applications involving:
- Steel structures
- Industrial equipment
- Process equipment
- Pipelines
- Tanks and vessels
- Fabricated metal components
- Industrial machinery
- Plant infrastructure
- Industrial maintenance projects
- Protective coating systems
The final application should be selected according to the substrate and service conditions.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving good coating performance.
Before application:
- Remove oil, grease and other contaminants.
- Remove loose rust and scale.
- Remove poorly adhered existing coatings.
- Carry out mechanical or abrasive preparation where required.
- Remove surface dust after preparation.
- Ensure the substrate is clean and dry.
- Apply the compatible ALTIC VCTI Primer as specified.
The VCTI coating should not be applied over contaminated, loose or unstable surfaces.
Application Method
ALTIC VCTI COATING should be applied according to the latest product TDS.
General Application Sequence
- Prepare the substrate according to the specified surface-preparation standard.
- Apply ALTIC VCTI COATING PRIMER.
- Allow the primer to reach the specified recoating condition.
- Mix or homogenize ALTIC VCTI COATING as instructed.
- Apply the coating uniformly using the recommended application equipment.
- Maintain the specified film thickness.
- Allow the coating to dry or cure as required.
- Apply ALTIC VCTI COATING TOPCOAT where specified.
Depending on the product specification, suitable application methods may include brush, roller or spray equipment.
Exact mixing, thinning, film thickness, coverage, drying time and recoating interval should be taken from the latest ALTIC TDS.
Coating System Performance
The performance of an industrial coating depends on more than the coating material alone. The complete system is influenced by:
- Surface preparation
- Primer compatibility
- Coating thickness
- Application method
- Drying and curing
- Substrate condition
- Operating environment
- Temperature
- Chemical exposure
- Mechanical exposure
- Maintenance
For this reason, ALTIC VCTI COATING should preferably be specified and applied as part of the compatible VCTI coating system.
Substrate Compatibility
ALTIC VCTI COATING may be considered for suitable industrial substrates such as:
- Carbon steel
- Mild steel
- Fabricated metal
- Industrial equipment
- Process equipment
- Pipelines
- Structural components
Substrate compatibility should always be confirmed before application, particularly where unusual materials or existing coating systems are involved.
Maintenance & Inspection
Regular inspection helps maintain the performance of the completed coating system.
Check coated surfaces for:
- Cracking
- Peeling
- Blistering
- Delamination
- Mechanical damage
- Corrosion
- Loss of adhesion
- Surface contamination
Any damaged coating should be repaired according to the recommended ALTIC VCTI system procedure.
Safety & Handling
Use appropriate PPE during surface preparation and coating application.
Ensure adequate ventilation and follow applicable workplace safety requirements. Avoid unnecessary skin and eye contact and follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
Refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on hazards, handling, storage, first aid and disposal.
Storage
Store ALTIC VCTI COATING in its original sealed container in a suitable cool and dry location.
Protect the product from:
- Direct sunlight
- Excessive heat
- Moisture
- Contamination
- Incompatible materials
Refer to the latest ALTIC TDS/SDS for exact storage conditions, shelf life and packaging information.
