Product Description

FUNCTION

Liquid additive for waterborne coatings. Reacts with metal cations  to  form  stable  organic  complexes  chemically bonded on the metal substrates, providing a stable and effective chemical passivation.

APPLICATION

ASCOTRUST-X4  is  added  to  waterborne  coatings  directly applied on rusted or poor-prepared ferrous substrates. It ensures an effective blocking effect on residual rust, and avoids its migration through the fresh paint film.

Its passivation properties on rust allow to maintain good anticorrosion  performances  of  the  coatings,  despite  the adverse substrate conditions.

It    doesn’t     compromise    the    coating    anticorrosion

performance on non-rusted substrates.

ASCOTRUST-X4  is  designed  for   any  kind  of  waterborne coatings,  pigmented  or  not,  based  on  various  binder technologies : acrylic, alkyd, epoxy, PU...

It  is  recommended to  use  an organic-type anticorrosion agent  when  ASCOTRUST-X4   is  added  to  a  metal  paint formulation.

FEATURES

   Ready-to-use and easy to incorporate liquid

   VOC-free

•   Compatible with most waterbased binders

•   Eco-friendly* additive

   Synergic action with antiflash-rust additives

•   Doesn’t change color of coatings

INCORPORATION / DOSAGE

ASCOTRUST-X4 is preferably added at the last manufacturing step (post-addition).

In 2K PU systems: should be added into the resin part.

In 2K  Epoxy systems : ASCOTRUST-X4 should be added to the hardener (amine part).

Indicative use dosages (% of total coating weight) :

•   0,5 to 3% depending on the coating formulation.

The  dosage  can  reach  5%  into  primers  or  one  coat systems, applied on highly reactive rusted substrates, at low DFT (<40-50 µm).

It  is  advisable to  determine the  optimum amount  by  a laboratory test.
