ELIMINATE FLASH-RUST AND PRESERVE

FILM WATER-RESISTANCE

Whatever the field is, Construction, Do-it-yourself or Industry,

waterborne coatings are widely developed to meet new VOC and
regulatory requirements.
Everytime a waterborne coating is applied on metal, flash-rust phenomenon,
which is immediate corrosion of metal substrates, is of concern.
In order to meet this new demand, ASCOTEC has developed a complete
range of flash-rust inhibitors ASCOTRAN®. They are effective in many
different situations, whatever the substrate that needs to be protected
on the nature of the coating may be.

INHIBITORS

A COMPLETE RANGE OF FLASH-RUST INHIBITORS

Ready-to-use liquids, ASCOTRAN® are high film-forming additives

and are immediately adsorbed onto the metal surface.
Compatible with the main resin combinations used for the water-
based formulation, their properties remain the same. Their use
dosages are very low.
Whereas usual flash-rust inhibitors reduce coatings water-
resistance, the ASCOTRAN® technology combines excellent
antiflash-rust performance with hydrophobic properties.

 ANTIFLASH-RUST PERFORMANCE

ASCOTRAN® additives provide highest levels of flash-rust inhibition,

at low use dosages, and then compete with high nitrite-containing
additives. When the film dries under severe humidity conditions, they
perform better than most usual flash-rust inhibitors.

PACKAGING PROTECTION
Coatings can be highly corrosive and can cause, in most cases, corrosion
of metallic cans which contain them. ASCOTRAN® flash-rust inhibitors
also provide in-can protection.
