ICL Phosphate Specialty - HALOX® Company Logo
HALOX® 520 is a liquid organic corrosion inhibitor primarily designed for use in water-borne coating systems. It contains dual functionality as a corrosion inhibitor and an adhesion promoter. HALOX® 520 may be used in waterborne formulations such as 2 pack epoxy systems, 1 and 2 pack polyurethanes, acrylics (especially epoxy/amine-functionalized), and hybrid systems. It may also be used as a metal pretreatment additive.

Recommended Loading Levels
  • Recommended concentrations range form 0.5-1.5% based on total formulation solids.
  • The amount of HALOX® 520 required for optimum performance should be determined in trials over the recommended concentration range.
Incorporation

Although liquid, the product is best incorporated if added to a pigment grind, especially in the polyol portion of 2 pack polyurethane systems, and amine/amide part of 2 pack epoxy systems. If possible, avoid systems with acetic acid, use surfactant stabilized hardeners instead. If you are removing a heavy metal based anti-corrosive pigment, compensate for its removal with an extender (filler) so that the ratio PVC:CPVC remains constant. However, HALOX® 520 can be used in conjunction with anticorrosive pigments, preferably based on compounds defined as non-toxic or reportable under applicable regulations. Check compatibility, shelf life (e.g. accelerated at high tem-perature), cure and pot-life, if applicable. Other formulation variables may also be optimized, for example, dispersants, surfactants, and PVC:CPVC ratio.

Factors to Consider while Creating Coatings Solutions
  • Combine the inhibitors utilize synergy of multiple mechanisms to achieve desired performance.
    • Inorganic/Flash Rust
    • Inorganic/Inorganic
    • Inorganic/Organic
  • Optimize Solubility of the inhibitor. Synergize short term and long term corrosion inhibitors based on their solubility.
  • Inhibitor Concentration avoid direct weight to weight replacements. Beneficial to optimize usage level.
  • Substrate specific corrosion inhibitor selection can be substrate dependent.
