HALOX® FLASH-X® 150

HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 by ICL is used in the manufacture of water-based protective coatings as an effective liquid additive for inhibition of flash rust and in-can rusting. It is highly effective at relatively low loading levels as compared to other flash and in-can rust inhibitors.

• It has demonstrated excellent flash rust inhibitive performance on various metal substrates ranging from iron, steel, and galvanized iron to galvalume and zincalume.
• It is effective for inhibiting in-can rusting in lined and unlined metal containers.
• It is compatible with a variety of latices without causing film sensitivity or package stability problems that can occur with other flash rust additives.
• It is also an effective additive for stabilizing metal substrates when using the water-blasting method of surface restoration.
• It is easy to use and can be incorporated at any stage of coating manufacture.
• It can also be easily and effectively post added to any coating system; however, as with any additive, compatibility should be checked prior to use.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.25-1% for flash rusting, 0.50-1.5% for in can rusting and 1.50-3% for water blasting.
• HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 has a shelf life of 24 months.
