Anticorrosive Pigments

Description

Anticorrosive pigments are special types of pigments used in coatings and paints to protect metal surfaces from corrosion. They work by forming a protective barrier between the metal and the environment, preventing the metal from reacting with moisture, oxygen, salts, and other corrosive agents. These pigments can be inorganic (like zinc phosphate, zinc chromate) or organic and often provide both physical and chemical protection to the metal substrate.

Zinc Chromate
Zinc Phosphate
Zinc Tetroxy Chromate
Strontium Chromate
Barium Chromate

Key Characteristics

  • Corrosion Inhibition: Effectively prevent or slow down the chemical reactions that cause corrosion on metal surfaces.
  • Barrier Formation: Provide a physical barrier that blocks moisture, oxygen, and salts from reaching the metal.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with various resin systems in paints and coatings.
  • Durability: Enhance the longevity and durability of coatings by resisting chemical and environmental degradation.
  • Non-toxic Options Some anticorrosive pigments are designed to be environmentally friendly and free from heavy metals like chromium.
  • Electrical Properties:ome pigments, such as zinc dust, provide cathodic protection by acting as sacrificial anodes.
  • Resistance to UV and Chemicals:Good resistance to ultraviolet light and chemical exposure, improving outdoor and industrial performance.
