- Product Application
Any type of liquid metal coating for industrial, professional or do-it-yourself use, especially primers or direct-to-metal systems based on :
- Acrylics, waterborne/solventborne
- 2K Epoxies, waterborne, solventborne
- 2K PU, waterborne / solventborne
- Alkyds, waterborne
- Dosage
Depending on the system, will be added during the dispersion step (mill-base), or will be added into the let- down (see the ASCONIUM Technical Notice). 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 (compatibility to be checked with preliminary testing). 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.
