ASCOTEC launches a new additive : ASCONIUM® 500
We are delighted to share with you the development of our new advanced liquid corrosion inhibitor, the ASCONIUM® 500.
It helps improve performance while having low use dosage, an easy incorporation and being VOC-free.
Usually, solvent-based paints are used for 1 coat DTMs, because in the collective mind, water-based paints are less effective than solvent-based paints. This is not the case concerning ASCONIUM® 500, a concentrate of technology that makes it possible.
It marks a breakthrough in the coatings industry with regard to anti-corrosion pigments, offering a liquid additive that does not mat paint, increases its adhesion to metal and its performance as a DTM.
Here are the key benefits of ASCONIUM® 500 :
- Easy to incorporate into water-based coatings (mill-base, let-down or post addition).
- Low use dosage (≈1%)
- VOC free
- Heavy metal free
- Suitable in most binder systems
- Preservation of paint gloss
