- Dosage Information
- Ascotrust® X2 is preferably added at the last manufacturing step (post-addition).
- In 2K systems : should be added into the resin part in most cases.
- Indicative use dosages (% of total coating weight) : 1 to 3% depending on the coating formulation.
- The dosage can reach 5% into pigmented coatings applied on highly reactive rusted substrates, at low DFT (<40-50 μm).
- It is advisable to determine the optimum amount by a laboratory test.
- Applications
- Ascotrust® X2 is added to waterborne coatings directly applied on rusted or poor-prepared ferrous substrates.
- It ensures an effective blocking effect on residual rust, and avoids its migration through the fresh paint film.
- Its passivation properties on rust allow to maintain good anticorrosion performances of the coatings, despite the adverse substrate conditions.
- It doesn’t compromise the coating anticorrosion performance on non-rusted substrates.
- Ascotrust® X2 is mainly designed for waterborne clear- coatings based on various binder technologies : acrylic, alkyd, epoxy, PU,etc.
- It is recommended to use an organic-type anticorrosion agent when Ascotrust® X2 is added to a metal clear-coating formulation.
