Optimizing the Corrosion Resistance of Waterborne PUDs for Bare and Phosphatized Steel Substrates

Supplied by ICL

Read this case study from ICL about the corrosion resistance of PUDs for bare and phosphatized steel substrates. The results from R&D team for corrosion resistance, minimal impact of gloss, improved adhesion and providing heavy metal-free anti-corrosives as an option are shown.


 

Know how water-based Polyurethane Dispersion (PUD) can attain a superior level of gloss and excellent adhesion to both untreated and phosphate-treated steel surfaces with the strategic adjustment of the corrosion inhibitor package.


 

Among the various inorganic corrosion inhibitors assessed, the heavy metal-free variant based on Dicalcium Phosphate proved to be exceptionally effective and is a preferred choice over the counterparts, emphasizing its suitability for a wide range of applications.
