Features & Benefits

Advantages
  • Improves corrosion resistance as it passivates the metal.
  • Synergistic results are obtained in combination with anti-corrosive pigments.
  • Improves water resistance by providing a barrier effect and reducing water permeation of the coating.
  • Enhances cure rate of amino crosslinked systems.
  • Better stability, exhibiting good in-can viscosity stability.
  • Promotes pigment dispersion when a small amount is used in the grind, thereby reducing grind time, increasing pigment loading, and improving color strength.
  • Improves gloss properties when used as a dispersant in the grind.

Applications & Uses

Cure Method
Applications
  • Usable in most types of non-aqueous air dry and thermoset coatings.
  • Recommended in primers, general industrial and maintenance type solvent-based coatings.
Usage Levels
  • 1-3% based on the total weight of paint if used as the sole anti-corrosive agent.
  • When used in combination with other types of corrosion inhibiting pigments, NACORR 1551 should be added at 25-50% of the total anti-corrosive pigment loading.

Incorporation
System   Incorporation Method
Solvent Based Can be post-added with mild agitation or added to mill base
Water in Mill Base If possible, remove water from the mill base and add it to the letdown. Otherwise, post-add under high agitation.
No Water in Mill Base Add 0.5-1.0% to mill base by premixing the NACORR, solvent and resin before pigment is added. Add balance to letdown prior to any water addition.
NACORR 1754 Can be post-added without the addition of co-solvent or neutralizing amine.
No Co-Solvents Post-add under high agitation during letdown prior to any water addition.
Co-Solvents Premix with coalescing solvent prior to addition. A typical ratio of 1:1 is recommended. Next add mixture under high agitation prior to any water addition.
Co-Solvents and Amines Premix with coalescent and amine. Add under high agitation prior to any water. A typical starting ratio for premix: 50% NACORR, 45% coalescent and 5% amine by weight.
Powder Coatings Dry blend with the premix at 1% to 3% based on total weight.
