Corrosion Inhibitors for Coatings and Inks

HALOX® 580 by ICL is a low-VOC, bio-based liquid corrosion inhibitor. It is cost-effective and provides improved adhesion, water resistance with synergistic benefits. It is non-flammable and shows good shelf stability.

• It offers minimal gloss impact and is perfect for eco-label compliant coatings.
• It is sustainable, clean labeled, heavy metal-free, APEO-free, HAPS-free and non-hazardous for shipping and transportation.
• It can be easily post added or added in the letdown stage.
• It is suitable for thin-film coatings, acrylic emulsions, epoxies, water reducible alkyds, polyurethanes, alkyds and urethane alkyds.
• HALOX® 580 is used for protection of waterborne clear coats, solvent-based, high solids, 100% solids paints, primer and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5-3.0% based on total formula weight.

HALOX® 680 by ICL is a VOC-free, non-flammable, smart release anticorrosive pigment which releases a heterocyclic organic corrosion inhibitor from an organic matrix that adsorbs on the metal surface and forms a protective film. It offers decreased cathodic delamination (undercutting) and improves cut edge protection.

• It is jet milled grade that provides increased intercoat coating adhesion and prevents osmotic blistering. It reduces cost by lowering zinc phosphate loading.
• It acts synergistically with other corrosion inhibitors such as zinc phosphate, Z-PLEX 111, SZP-391, HALOX® 430 and Zn-free phosphates.
• It can be formulated into solvent-based, high solid-, and powder coatings.
• It is suitable for solvent-based primers & DTM alkyds, acrylics, water-based epoxies and urethanes, high solids and 100% solids, semi-gloss paints and coil coatings.
• The dosage level of HALOX® 680 as a stand-alone corrosion inhibitor or as an adhesion promoter is 1-2% based on total formula weight (TFW).
• When used in synergy with standard zinc phosphate the loading level of the product is typically 0.5-4% on total formula weight (TFW).

Nalzin® FA 179 by Elementis is a corrosion inhibitor for aqueous paint systems to counteract the formation of flash-rust. It is also suitable for application as an inhibitor against the formation of in-can corrosion and temporary rust inhibitor for metal surfaces.

• It can be applied to various types of water-dilutable alkyd systems, acrylics, epoxy and dispersion paints.
• The typical use level is 0.1-0.5% calculated on the total amount of paint.
• Nalzin® FA 179 has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture.

ADDITOL® XL 6568 by allnex is an anti-adhesion promotor. It is suitable for the formulation of stripping enamels and release agents. Coatings of this nature give temporary protection against mechanical attack and corrosion to various substrates. Such coatings can easily be peeled off later. ADDITOL® XL 6568 can be used in solvent-based as well as in aqueous systems. The recommended usage level is 2-3% for solvent-based and 2-5% for aqueous systems on total solids. Its shelf life is 730 days.

HALOX® FLASH-X® 152 by ICL is an ultra-low-VOC flash rust inhibitor based on anodic passivating oxyanion. It is effective in preventing general flash rusting and weld seam corrosion. It is highly effective at relatively low loading levels as compared to other high and low VOC flash rust inhibitors.

• 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 is heavy metal-, APEO-, and HAPS free.
• HALOX® FLASH-X® 152 is designed for industrial and architectural paints.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5-1.5% to stop flash rust and 1.0-2% to stop galvanic corrosion.

Nalzin® FA 180 by Elementis is a flash-rust corrosion inhibitor designed for aqueous paint systems. It prevents the formation of flash rust during the drying process on iron-containing substrates. It is based on an organic zinc complex with a low nitrite addition.

• It exhibits a strong affinity for iron substrates, forming a protective anionic passivated layer after drying.
• It provides corrosion resistance and improved weathering properties.
• During the drying process, it transforms from a water-dispersible form into a non-water-dispersible, insoluble zinc compound and reducing water sensitivity.
• It is suitable for various water-dilutable paint systems such as alkyds, acrylics, epoxies, and dispersion paints.
• It enhances the rust resistance of the dried paint layer and acts as an in-can corrosion inhibitor during storage.
• Additionally, it can be used as a temporary rust inhibitor for metal surfaces when applied as a 2% emulsion through spraying, offering reliable protection against early rust formation after paint application.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.1-0.5% as flash-rust inhibitor and 0.1-0.3% as in-can corrosion inhibitor.
• Nalzin® FA 180 has a shelf life of 2 years from date of manufacturing.
