Anti-corrosion Pigment
The coatings industry is moving towards environmentally safe products with lower VOC requirements and uses of non-toxic pigments. SKYSIL is an environmentally friendly Anti-Corrosive alternative to conventional lead, zinc and chromate pigments. SKYSIL is a non-toxic anti-corrosive pigment based on ion-exchange technology using porous silica as a support.
SKYSIL exchanges aggressive ions, such as Na+ or H+, found in coatings for calcium or magnesium ions from the silica surface to deposit on the metal substrate, forming a protective layer. With a high ion exchange rate, SKYSIL may improve shelf life without adding haze to the system while reducing weight via low specific gravity. Best used for direct contact to metal substrate.
Silica Anticorrosion Pigments are a type of pigment used in coatings and paints to provide corrosion resistance to metal surfaces. These pigments are typically made from silica, a naturally occurring mineral, which is processed and modified to enhance its anticorrosion properties.
Silica anticorrosion pigments work by forming a protective barrier on the metal surface, preventing the penetration of moisture and corrosive agents. This barrier helps to inhibit the formation of rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the coated metal.
In addition to their anticorrosion properties, silica pigments also provide other benefits to coatings and paints. They can improve the durability and weather resistance of the coating, enhance its adhesion to the substrate, and contribute to the overall aesthetic appearance.
Silica anticorrosion pigments are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, marine, and industrial coatings. They are often incorporated into primers, topcoats, and other protective coatings to provide long-lasting corrosion protection.
Overall, silica anticorrosion pigments play a crucial role in preventing corrosion and maintaining the integrity of metal surfaces, helping to prolong their lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
