- Product Application
As a corrosion inhibitor or hydrophobic agent: can be used with any type of liquid metal coating for industrial, professional, or do-it-yourself purposes, especially with clear-coatings or primers that are based on:
- Alkyds, solventborne
- Polyester, solventborne
For in-can corrosion protection: can also be used in waterborne and solventborne systems like strippers, glues, degreasers,...
- Dosage
Depending on the system, will be added during the dispersion step, or will be post-added. When it replaces anticorrosion pigments, the reduced PVC should be balanced with fillers used in the paint formulation. Indicative use dosages (% of total coating weight) :
- 1.5 to 3% when used as sole anticorrosion agent.
- 0.8 to 2% when used in synergy with other anticorrosion agents.
- 0.2 to 1% as antiflash-rust additive for zinc.
- 0.1 to 0.5% for in-can corrosion protection.
