When it comes to tackling reinforcement surface prep and ongoing protection, this rust primer stands out among competitor materials with clear performance and application advantages to mitigate rebar corrosion.

NACE International, the Worldwide Corrosion Authority, estimates that the global cost of corrosion is $2.5 trillion a year or 3.4% of Gross Domestic Product (NACE International, 2016). In amongst these financial headlines is a huge cost to the environment.

There are two main challenges facing protective coatings in high-moisture conditions: the issue of durability in a moisture-laden or immersion environment that is naturally more corrosive than a dry environment and the challenge of being able to properly cure a coating in the presence of moisture.

In the development of a low- VOC, self-healing epoxy hybrid primer, this company lever­aged its self-healing technology to design a waterborne protective primer with an unprec­edented combination of corrosion resistance and eco-friendliness.

NanoRustX (NRX) NanoPrime works by chemically reacting with iron and iron oxide (rust) to form iron phosphate and creates a nano bond with both metallic and painted surfaces. The chemically bonded layer is insoluble and extremely corrosion resistant.

This work deals with the assessment of fungal deterioration on different anti-corrosive coatings using electrochemical techniques (corrosion potential and ionic resistance).

Inhibispheres are a new class of corrosion inhibitors for powder coatings. Inhibispheres utilize a sustained release technology based on corrosion inhibitor microencapsulation via a silica matrix.

By incorporating a specialty amine-functional silane oligomer into existing waterborne silane pretreatments, the need for an elevated curing temperature is effectively eliminated, opening the door to this type of environmentally friendly technology to industries and markets that were previously restricted by this elevated-temperature curing requirement.

Because of the performance capabilities of the new water-based acrylic polymer primers and their applicability to nearly all substrates, paint manufacturers have an opportunity to consolidate their primer inventory and provide their customers with a solution for the most challenging corrosive environments.

To maximize equipment life and safe production, innovative Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramic coatings provide durable protection from atmospheric and chemical corrosion.
