ICL Halox: Smart & Sustainable Corrosion Protection

HALOX® 580 is a sustainable, ultra-low VOC (<0.5%), bio-based liquid corrosion inhibitor designed for protection of water-based, solvent-based, high solids, 100% solids paints, direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings. It is suitable for thin-film coatings, 1K acrylic emulsions, 2K epoxies, water reducible alkyds, 2K polyurethanes, alkyds, urethane alkyds, etc. With 50% bio-content, HALOX® 580 provides a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution for corrosion protection while maintaining formulation flexibility, as it can be post-added or incorporated during the letdown phase.

HALOX® 580 is a clean-label inhibitor, free from heavy metals, APEO, and HAPS, making it non-hazardous for shipping and transportation, ultimately reducing costs and regulatory concerns. Engineered for both waterborne and solvent-borne paints, HALOX® 580 enhances adhesion and water resistance, minimizing osmotic blistering while maintaining good shelf stability. Its organophosphate and bio-based solvent carrier provides a synergistic boost to traditional anticorrosive pigments, improving overall coating performance. Non-flammable and with minimal gloss impact, it is an ideal choice for high-solids primers, topcoats, and eco-label-compliant coatings across various resin systems, including acrylic, epoxy, urethane, and alkyds.

HALOX® 680 is an organic ion exchange inhibitor designed as a smart corrosion inhibitor that is released on demand to enhance coating performance. It is a cost-competitive, zero-VOC, fine-milled powder that acts as a synergist with other anticorrosive pigments such as Zinc Phosphate, Z-PLEX 111, SZP-391, and HALOX® 430. By integrating into the organic matrix, HALOX® 680 improves coating adhesion and reduces cathodic delamination (undercutting at the scribe). Additionally, it can be post-added to most solvent-based paints for formulation flexibility.

Compatible with solvent-borne, high solids, and powder coatings, HALOX® 680 is also suitable for water-borne coatings with proper pH adjustment due to its acidic nature. It enables reduced Zinc Phosphate loadings in anticorrosive primers while maintaining effectiveness. With non-flammable properties, it is ideal for solvent-borne primers, DTM alkyds, epoxies, urethanes, high solids and 100% solids epoxies, powder coatings, and coil coatings. It can also be formulated into semi-gloss paints, water-borne epoxies, and acrylics.
