ECKART launched the new ProFlake Zn 3000 zinc flake pigment which is optimized for sustainable corrosion protective paint systems.
Following the revision of norms and regulations that now allow a more flexible use of zinc flake pigments for the formulation of compliant, performance-based corrosion protective paints, ECKART has developed ProFlake Zn 3000 zinc flake pigment which allows for significantly lower zinc content in formulations. This makes for more sustainable corrosion protective formulations for heavy duty and a reduced CO2 footprint
compared to currently applied corrosion protective paints.
The percolation between these zinc flakes as well as their additional barrier layer formation ensures ideal corrosion protection, providing a clear advantage over zinc rich primers.
ProFlake Zn 3000 zinc flake-based paints are also simple to handle and apply, and provide limited settlement properties. The new 31 µm (D50) product is ideally suited for use in marine, ship or bridge construction coatings, among others.
