Do more for less with Intelli-ion®: Elevating anti-corrosion coatings with low loadings

In the coatings industry, achieving optimal anticorrosion protection while being resource-efficient can be a challenge.

- 

Introduction

Traditional approaches often rely on high loadings of corrosion inhibitors, which can lead to increased costs and environmental impact. However, with Hexigone's revolutionary Intelli-ion technology, a paradigm shift is underway. Let's delve deeper into why our anticorrosion solution requires lower loadings compared to competitor products.

Understanding loadings in anticorrosion coatings:

The term "loadings" refers to the amount of a particular ingredient, such as a corrosion inhibitor, added to a coating formulation. In the case of zinc phosphate, loadings of about 3 -20% are often necessary to achieve desired levels of corrosion protection. However, this approach comes with drawbacks such as increased material costs, reduced formulation flexibility, and environmental draw-backs due to the presence of heavy metals.

The Intelli-ionⓇ difference:

Hexigone's Intelli-ionⓇ technology represents a game-changer in the realm of anticorrosion coatings. Unlike traditional inhibitors, Intelliion operates on a smartrelease mechanism, wherein corrosion inhibitors are released precisely when and where they are needed most.
