Functions

ASCONIUM®-130 is a liquid additive used to enhance anticorrosion and hydrophobic properties of waterborne and solventborne metal coatings, and improve their adhesion onto metal substrates. It can be used alone or in combination with other anticorrosion agents.

Features & Benefits

Labeling Claims
Product Features
  • Does not reduce paint gloss
  • Improves coating’s blistering resistance
  • Improves coating’s adhesion to the metal substrate
  • Usable on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates
  • Provides good stability/homogeneity to the coating

Applications & Uses

Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Product Application

ASCONIUM®-130 can be used into clear and pigmented coatings, for industrial, professional and DIY uses, especially systems based on :

  • 1K or 2K Epoxy, waterborne/solventborne
  • 2K PU, solventborne
  • 2K Acrylic, solvenborne
Dosage

Depending on the system, will be added during dispersion step, or will be post-added. When it replaces anticorrosion pigments, the reduced PVC should be balanced with the fillers used in the paint formulation. In 2K systems: should be added to the resin part for PU coatings, to the hardener for epoxy coatings. Indicative use dosages (% of total coating weight) :

  • 1 to 2% when used as sole anticorrosion agent.
  • 0.7 to 1.5% when used in synergy with other anticorrosion agents.
