Chemcoaters released its specialty corrosion inhibitor, InterCoat^® ChemGuard, for galvanized (welded) tube products. Chemcoaters developed this specialized formula in conjunction with a local partner for in-line application. This marks the first time InterCoat® ChemGuard has been marketed for application outside steel coils and sheet since its inception in 2010.

InterCoat® ChemGuard stands apart from other polymer-heavy coatings on the market today, thanks to its ability to chemically react with a galvanized surface and form a permanent, InterReactive^® bond. Highly customizable, InterCoat^® ChemGuard also provides a spectrum of performance options.

“While there were other corrosion inhibitors in the market, there was a gap for custom products that serve the customers with exactly what they need, at a competitive cost,” stated Brit Capizzano, Director of R&D at Chemcoaters.  

“We invested the necessary time at the customer’s production site – reviewing process parameters and comparing our product’s performance against industry benchmarks,” said Ted Jarosz, Consultant at Chemcoaters.  “We didn’t compromise and came up with a formulation that worked for the customer’s line requirements.”
