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® XTAIN® L-44 is a very effective liquid tannin stain-blocking additive that provides high performance and good compatibility in most water based coating systems. Excellent tannin stain blocking properties can be achieved with HALOX® XTAIN® L-44 without the need for zinc oxide which is required to achieve performance by most tannin blocking polymers on the market today. Since HALOX® XTAIN® L-44 eliminates the need for zinc oxide without sacrificing performance, improved package stability and shelf life of the coating system will usually result.

HALOX® 550 is an inorganic-organic hybrid corrosion inhibitor to protect water-based and solvent-based coatings. HALOX® 550 is offering multiple advantages as listed. Thin-film applications (<10 µm), easy to disperse, post-addable, reduces white rust on galvanized, reduces black rust on Galvalume™, increases hydrophobicity, improves anti-fingerprint, no effect on gloss, compatible with water and solvent-based coatings, reduces silver, aluminium oxidation, high temp stable, non-flammable, pH stable, low freeze point. HALOX® 550 is suitable for the applications of clear coats, direct-to-metal, latex primers, coatings, acrylic emulsions, water-dispersible alkyds, and alkyd emulsions, polyesters, epoxy, urethane, and high gloss coatings.
