The AkzoNobel Laboratory of Corrosion Protection at The University of Manchester is the result of a five-year landmark strategic partnership between the largest global coatings company and one of the UK’s top universities.
A new class of high-performance coatings, called Highly Thermally Insulative Coatings (HiTICs), is now finding opportunities in condensation and corrosion prevention.
The study reveals that incorporating nanoclay improves humidity resistance, VDA cyclic corrosion over mild steel substrate and acetic acid spray corrosion over aluminum substrate.
NANOMYTE® TC‐3001is a new flexible coating specifically designed to protect oxidizing steel and aluminum exposed to corrosive chemicals or harsh environmental conditions.
The search for a “greener” way to prevent corrosion on the kind of aluminum used in jetliners, cars and other products has led scientists to an unlikely source, according to a report in The American Chemical Society’s journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
