ICL to launch bio-based corrosion inhibitor at ECS 2025

Solutions to be showcased at ECS 2025 include: 

 

• HALOX® 580: 50% bio-based, ultra-low VOC (0.5%), and a sustainable liquid corrosion inhibitor (LCI) for protection of waterborne and solvent-borne coatings. Being ecolabel-compliant, solvent-free, heavy metal-free, APEO-free, HAPS-free, it is suitable for acrylic, epoxy, urethane, and alkyd systems. 
  The targeted markets include DIY metal coatings, light duty protective coatings (C1-C4), architectural (siding), thin coatings needing barrier improvement, and much more. The organophosphate adsorbs on metal, provides great adhesion for long-term corrosion protection, and is totally label free. Recommended loading level is 0.5-3.0% based on total formula weight.
• HALOX® FLASH-X® 152: Zero VOC flash rust inhibitor for architectural & industrial waterborne paints. It has dual functionality to stop 'general' flash rust and at the same time prevents 'galvanic' weld bead corrosion. 
  It is compatible with a variety of water-based resins without causing film sensitivity or package stability problems which can occur with other flash rust additives. It can be easily post-added or added in the letdown stage. Dosage to stop flash rust is 0.5-1.5% and dosage to stop galvanic corrosion is 1.0-2.0%.
• HALOX® XTAIN® L-47: Ecolabel compliant liquid tannin stain blocker for industrial & architectural paints. Based on zirconium, it is a zinc-free, ammonia-free, volatile organic compound (VOC)-free liquid stain inhibiting additive designed to stop tannin bleed in various waterborne coating systems such as acrylic emulsions and PUD applied to a variety of wood species for example, redwood, merbau, and oak. 
  It provides similar efficiency as its predecessor HALOX® XTAIN® L-44. Recommended loading levels range from 1-3% based on total formula weight.
