HALOX® 550

HALOX® 550 by ICL is an inorganic-organic hybrid sol-gel corrosion inhibitor that protects water-based and solvent-based coatings. It can boost the adhesion of the systems through the development of a sol-gel network and the formation of hydrophobic nano-domains within the coating.

• It is suitable for clear coats, direct-to-metal, latex primers, thin ?lm coatings, acrylic emulsions, water-dispersible alkyds, and alkyd emulsions, polyesters, epoxy, urethane and high gloss coatings.
• It is easy to disperse, post-addable, reduces white rust on galvanized and black rust on Galvalume™.
• It offers increased hydrophobicity, improved anti-fingerprint and no effect on gloss.
• It provides reduced silver, aluminum oxidation and high-temperature stability.
• HALOX® 550 is non-flammable, pH stable and has low freeze point.
• It is a temporary rust inhibitor for cold-rolled steel, blasted steel, aluminum.
• It can impart corrosion resistance to final metal rinsing solutions.
• The dosage level for water-based acrylic is 1-4%, alkyd is 0.5-2%, epoxy is 1-4%, urethane is 0.5-3%, hybrids & others is 0.5-4%.
• It has a shelf life of 12 months.
