In the coatings industry, achieving optimal anti-corrosion protection while being resource efficient can be a challenge. Learn about a new solution for achieving the highest anti-corrosion protection while minimizing material usage.
Silane-modified polyurethane (SPUR) systems find increasingly extensive utilization in adhesive, sealant, and coating products. This study reports on a novel tin-free catalyst that is shown to be significantly more active than industry-standard catalysts in SPUR applications, while providing similar system stability and other end-use properties.
No matter how challenging the substrate or the environment, the new Interpon Redox portfolio is designed to offer the highest levels of corrosion protection, especially within coastal areas and regions with high humidity.
Increased regulatory scrutiny of lead, chromium, and zinc is driving the migration to heavy-metal-free corrosion inhibitors. In this article, several water-based resin technologies were selected to demonstrate the performance of heavy-metal-free corrosion inhibitors versus their zinc-containing counterparts.
In addition to good adhesion and rust prevention, a metal coating must be equipped to meet force-dry, high-slip, or high-temp requirements in certain applications. To address these needs, one company offers two specialty versions of a high-performing, water-based, anti-corrosion coating for industrial applications.
C1-C5 are classifications used to describe the level of corrosion resistance required for aggressive environments and applications. The company's latest test results prove that its sustainable corrosion inhibitors can reach C5 levels of heavy metal and chromate-free corrosion protection in coatings.
To address the issue of mold in the Navy fleet, a new program has begun developing a biocidal mold-inhibiting coating alongside an industry partner for use in ship interior spaces. This coating is based on an already qualified MIL-PRF-24596 coating with the addition of mold-inhibiting additives.
