Compatibilisation

COMPATIBILISATION

Encapsulation inside the Inhibispheres® enables the use of inhibitors which will normally react with, or result in the destabilisationof the paint chemistry.

Compatibilisation

  • Allows access to new inhibitors for paint systemsOrganic inhibitors
  • React with paint (free N-H or S-H)
  • Epoxy, acrylics, PU
Solvent compatibility (hydrophobe/lipophobe)

  • Prevents phase separation

INHIBISPHERES®

FUTURE PROOF YOUR COATINGS

Inhibispheres® are submicron ceramic particles which can provide specific functionalities to classic coating formulations. Active materials, such as corrosion inhibitors, can be incorporated inside the ‘Smart Particles’, which can then simply be mixed into a paint or coating formulation. The particles are mechanically resistant, can survive paint formulation processes (e.g. mixing, grinding, extrusion) and will not adversely affect the mechanical properties of the coating.
