Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Directions For Use
- Incorporation: AX1 can be incorporated via a let-down formula or directly into coatings by high-speed dispersion. AX1 can be milled through a premix stage if required. Optimum loadings are resin type and film thickness dependent and are between 2 - 7% by weight. Please consult with Hexigone for specific system loadings advice. AX1 may require additional formulation optimisation in some resin types and in waterborne coatings, including dispersant and surfactant selection.
- Testing Protocol: Test AX1 containing primers corrosion resistance performance in the full coating system with the topcoat applied.
- Applications
- AX1 is supplied for use in primer coatings systems that require either a reduction in - or the total removal of - anti-corrosion additives that contain chromate and heavy metals.
- Performance is validated in solvent borne epoxy, alkyd, polyester, polyurethane and acrylic resin systems.
- AX1 may be suitable for other coatings and corrosion defense uses, however clients are advised to verify individual performance in other resin systems and applications.
- Compatible Binder Systems: 2 pack epoxy, alkyds, polyester, polyurethane.
- Compatible Solvent Systems: all organic systems.
- Substrates: ferrous & non-ferrous (Al, Zn, Mg & alloys, Cu).
