Why go organic?
The coatings industry is being challenged by an ever-increasing number of regulatory initiatives designed to protect the environment and workers. Most obvious among these are VOC limitations, HAP restrictions, and increasing pressure on heavy metals. The net effect is a shift toward water-borne, powder, or high solids systems, and replacement of questionable heavy metals wherever possible.
Traditionally, heavy-metal based anti-corrosive pigments have been used but these are either being phased out, such as hexavalent chromate, or might not be well suited, for
example, in water-borne coatings. *****® offers a range of organic corrosion inhibitors that are specifically designed to address future environmental and worker safety needs for
coatings over various metal substrates.
If you are looking for an alternative to heavy metal containing corrosion inhibitors, *****® Organic Corrosion Inhibitors could be exactly what you are looking for. These heavy metal free inhibitors are used at additive levels and can replace traditional heavy metal-based anti-corrosive pigments, along with their environmental and worker safety concerns. In addition to their excellent performance, *****® Organic corrosion inhibitors can improve wetting and adhesion over traditional corrosion inhibitors. They can also be formulated to provide coatings with high gloss, and can even be used for corrosion-resistant clear coats. |
