EcoLine\u00ae 3860 contains 27% USDA certified biobased content and is designed for industrial users who want to increase their use of renewable content. It is an important move toward expanding sustainable options in the specialty field of corrosion inhibiting paints.<\/p>\n<p>EcoLine\u00ae 3860 is an extension of Cortec\u2019s line of VpCI\u00ae-386 anticorrosion coatings, which have become flagship products in the Cortec\u00ae portfolio of corrosion solutions. VpCI\u00ae-386 represents the journey from solvent-based technologies that once dominated the market to water-based paints that can effectively protect metals from corrosion while reducing VOCs and introducing other user benefits. Over the last several decades, VpCI\u00ae-386 has become a mainstay of Cortec\u00ae coatings, demonstrating the potential for preservation with reduced environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldconstructiontoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EcoLine.webp\" alt=\"EcoLine\" width=\"700\" height=\"457\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With the release of EcoLine\u00ae 3860, Cortec\u00ae is poised to follow this pattern in the field of biobased paints for corrosion inhibition. Once again, acrylic paints provide a good starting point for metals protection because of their flexibility, good adhesion, and UV resistance. As typical for Cortec\u00ae coatings, EcoLine\u00ae 3860 remains well within Green Seal and EPA guidelines for low VOC coatings, registering at 0.6 lbs\/gal (72 g\/L). Applied clear or matched to a range of custom colors at a DFT (dry film thickness) of 1.5-3.0 mils (38-76 \u00b5m), EcoLine\u00ae 3860 offers an unobtrusive way to add corrosion protection to metal parts, equipment and structures while introducing renewable content.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19560 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldconstructiontoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/cortec.webp\" alt=\"Cortec's Biobased Acrylic\" width=\"700\" height=\"493\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As Cortec\u2019s first biobased acrylic anticorrosion paint, EcoLine\u00ae 3860 represents an important milestone in the use of biobased resins, setting the stage for the development of more advanced biobased anticorrosion coatings in the future.
