Global sustainability has become a focused effort in all areas of our lives. The coatings industry can address sustainability by focusing on environmental preservation, responsible consumption and production of materials, and reduction in the human health impacts of our products. The cost of corrosion accounts for over 3% of the global GDP, making protective coatings an essential need in the global migration to sustainable living. Metal coatings face performance and regulatory challenges, and the industry is under pressure to reduce dependence on solvent-based systems. Traditional corrosion inhibitors using chromates and zinc have benefited coating performance but harmed the environment and health.
However, technology has developed heavy metal-free alternatives that can maintain coating performance.
Watch the webinar recording to learn about sustainable corrosion inhibitors in water-based systems that can match the performance of traditional coatings while meeting regulatory compliance.
