HALOX® BW-100 is a white, nonrefractive, tannin stain inhibiting pigment used in protective coating systems. HALOX® BW-100 has been specifically designed as a tannin stain inhibitor providing performance and compatibility in a variety of resin systems such as acrylic latexes, vinyl acrylic latexes, and styrenated acrylic latexes, and solvent-based alkyds.

HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 is used in the manufacture of water-base protective coatings as an effective liquid additive for inhibition of flash rust and in-can rusting. Testing has shown that HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 is highly effective at relatively low loading levels as compared to other flash and in-can rust inhibitors. HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 has demonstrated excellent flash rust inhibitive performance on various metal substrates ranging from iron, steel, and galvanized iron to galvalume and zincalume. Evaluations have shown HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 to be effective for inhibiting in-can rusting in lined and unlined metal containers. HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 is compatible with a variety of latices without causing film sensitivity or package stability problems that can occur with other flash rust additives. HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 is also an effective additive for stabilizing metal substrates when using the water-blasting method of surface restoration. HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 is easy to use and can be incorporated at any stage of coating manufacture. HALOX® FLASH-X® 150 can also be easily and effectively post added to any coating system; however, as with any additive, compatibility should be checked prior to use.

HALOX® 430 is a non-toxic, heavy metal-free anticorrosive pigment designed for use in water-borne and solvent-borne protective coating systems. HALOX® 430 is based on a unique synergy between an ion scavenging and passivation mechanism. It is recommended for use in long-term applications where the use of heavy metals, such as zinc, strontium, barium, molybdenum, and chromate, is of concern.
