EMADOX® D525

EMARUST

EMADOX®D525 protects the water based formulations (coatings, paints and varnishes) from the flash-rust phenomenon observed during the application and drying stages.

EMADOX®D525 is a ready to use aqueous solution combining several corrosion inhibitors.

EMADOX®D525 is VOC* free, nitrite free and European Ecolabel* compliant.

Applications - Dosage

EMADOX®D525 is mainly recommended for:

  • in-can protection for metal packaging filled with water based formulations (paints and varnishes, but also cleaning products)
  • flash-rust protection of water based decorative coatings based on acrylic dispersions, alkyd emulsions.

EMADOX®D525 must be added preferentially in the letdown, before the rheological agents. The use in post-addition is also a possible option. The use levels are:

  • typically, around 1% based on the total weight for in-can protection
  • 1.5 to 2% based on the total weight for flash-rust protection

There is no advantage to use higher levels. On the contrary, a too high dosage can increase the water sensitivity of the dry film.
