Nalzin® FA 180

Nalzin® FA 180 by Elementis is a flash-rust corrosion inhibitor for aqueous paint systems. It can be used as an in-can rust inhibitor prolonging the shelf life of paint systems. It is based on an organic zinc complex with a low nitrite addition. It changes to a non-water dispersible, insoluble zinc compound during the film drying stage.

• It shows a strong affinity for iron substrates to prevent flash-rusting.
• It forms an anionic passivated layer that provides corrosion inhibition after the film has dried.
• It offers improved weathering and decreased water sensitivity.
• It can be applied in various types of water-dilutable paint systems, e.g. water-dilutable alkyds, acrylics, epoxies and dispersion paints.
• It has a positive influence on the rust resisting power of the dry paint layer and counteracts in-can corrosion during storage.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.1-0.5% as flash-rust inhibitor and 0.1-0.3% as in-can corrosion inhibitor.
• It has a shelf life of 2 years from date of manufacturing.
