Examples of Corrosion Processes
Flash Rust
Galvanic
Filiform
Rapid, widespread corrosion seen during initial application.
Contact between two alloys which promotes oxidation of the less noble metal.
Differential aeration promotes this unique form of corrosion.
Of concern in coatings…
Flash rust is a rapidly forming corrosion event that typically manifests itself during application or shortly thereafter. The same driving force behind this can lead to ‘in-can’ chime rust.

Corrosion Inhibitors A material deposited as a
film on a metal surface that either provides physical protection against corrosive attack or reduces the open-circuit potential difference between local anodes and cathodes and increases the polarization of the former.

Anodic Reaction ● Slow the reaction rate of anodic dissolution. ● Produce reaction products which form a thin film
over anode. Cathodic Reaction
● Disrupt the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode.
● Produce reaction products which precipitate selectively at cathodic sites.
Corrosion Inhibitors must impact one of the two elements of the corrosion cycle.

VISCOSITY Δ •Stability can be achieved by adding a coupling solvent or increasing the level of strong amine.
•Pay attention to order of addition or increase the level of strong amine.
•Examine the overall loading level of plasticizer and coalescent.
•Balance the level of strong amine with weak amine or use amine containing HALOX® Organic CI’s.

POT LIFE Δ •Minimize ionic crosslinking.
•Balance the cure time and the polymer fluidity to achieve optimal film formation.
•Select a solvent which promotes low viscosity as crosslinking progresses.
•Monitor and adjust dwell time and temperature.

Before arriving at this formula, we experimented with a number
of options, searching for the right corrosion inhibitor.
Impacts to pot life and corrosion performance were most critical
in making the final decision.
Obtaining Formulating Advice
Final SPF has less Zn+2
Low Zn+2 /Organic Hybrid yields good pot life and corrosion protection.
