Same alkyd primer with traditional corrosion inhibitor and MiOx Primer only no scribe (500 hours NSST) Dose response for Inhibispheres® addition Increasing inhibitor reducing corrosion.
- Self-healing
- The sustained release of inhibitors from Inhibispheres® dispersed throughout the paint film promote self-healing (i.e. corrosion protection in the scribe).
- Local impedance spectroscopy shows that the progression of corrosion in the scribe is dramatically slowed down as the inhibispheres® gradually release their payload.
- 500 Hours in B117 Salt Spray Test
- Inhibispheres® help to fight corrosion creepage and field blisters in coatings.
- They can significantly improve the performance of primer coatings when added in with ZnPO4.
- Sustained Performance
Medium Release:
- The sustained release offered by the Inhibispheres® extends the availability of inhibitors over time and thus delays the onset of corrosion.
- For example, pit corrosion on aluminum can be delayed by 1000h by the addition of only 2 wt% of Inhibispheres®.
Slow Release:
- Inhibispheres® can be used to prolong the corrosion protection of coatings already containing standard corrosion inhibitors or by replacing them altogether.
- Similar performance to traditional corrosion inhibitors can be achieved using less inhibispheres® material and significantly less active inhibitor.
- Inhibispheres® with a slow release profile can give superior corrosion protection to a coating.
