“Innovation Spotlight: Eco-Friendly Corrosion Protection”

The industrial finishing market today wants it all: corrosion protection and performance under increasingly demanding conditions, a preference for cost-effective application, and more and more often, an eye toward environmentally safe application with a minimum of waste. Automotive and appliance OEMs and parts manufacturers have voluntarily adopted more stringent environmental requirements that metal finishers must meet, and governmental regulations also have motivated fabricators to look worldwide for coating technologies that are “green,” and at the same time improve performance.
GREENKOTE is an example of one such “green” technology, but until 2007, the process has only been available in Europe and Israel. The now-patented coating concept was developed and tested as part of an incubator program sponsored by the Israeli government, and initially the process was applied as solution to corrosion issues in military and marine applications. After three years of rigorous testing at one of the world’s recognized testing sites on Miyakojima Island, Japan, it was clear that the coating had a broader commercial application in conjunction with ferrous substrates used in a number of applications for construction, automotive, appliance and general industry.

"GREENKOTE: Corrosion-Resistant Poly-Metal Diffusion Coatings"

The corrosion protection requirements imposed on painted parts and components by industry have become increasingly more rigorous than they were even 10 years ago. Anticorrosive coating and painting manufacturers have attempted to meet the more stringent coating corrosion-resistance requirements by the addition of numerous components aimed at increasing the corrosion resistance of their coating compositions. A solution that addresses these stricter demands is to combine base metal sacrificial metallic coating with paints. With a sacrificial coating, the base coating supports the paint layer in damaged or weak areas, thereby providing a more comprehensive and longer-lasting corrosion protection system…

 "Balancing Act"

Corrosion. It is an issue that the general public doesn’t think about on a daily basis—that is, until it affects their lives directly. And when it does, it often makes headlines and can prove quite costly (a major bridge closes unexpectedly for repairs, or worse, yet, collapses). That’s why highway authorities—as well as product manufacturers, engineers and contractors—expect their coatings suppliers to deliver anti-corrosion technologies that can prolong the life of their products, protect valuable assets and ultimately cut costs…
