King Industries provide formulators the means to impart corrosion resistance to aqueous and non-aqueous systems. NACORR can be used as the primary corrosion inhibitor or in combination with environmentally friendly anti-corrosive pigments. They are compatible with a wide variety of resins used in primers and direct to metal topcoats for a multitude of industrial applications. Benefits Improved corrosion protection in clearcoats and highly pigmented systems Liquid materials make for easier incorporation Synergy with anti-corrosive pigments to replace chromates and other environmentally unacceptable anti-corrosive pigments Improved pigment dispersion and gloss when added to the pigment grind (for solventborne coatings) Enhanced cure rates of amino crosslinked systems, especially with NACORR 1552 (zinc salt) NACORRs are based on salts of hydrophobic organic acids. They are available in different solvents to accommodate the broad range of coating technologies currently used. Standard solvents are Mineral Spirits or 2-Butoxyethanol. Mechanism The NACORR molecules have a polar group and a long hydrophobic tail. The NACORR products prevent corrosion by two distinct mechanisms: The metal group is attracted to the metal substrate where it helps to electrically passivate any potential anodic sites The hydrophobic tail is oriented outward away from the metal substrate, excluding water from any potential anodic sites.

NACORR 4426 Sodium Complex Polymer/Water NA Excellent in waterborne emulsion systems. Effective on steel, galvanized steel and aluminum. * NACORR 1552 is an excellent catalyst and corrosion inhibitor for anodic acrylic electrocoating. Use Levels & Incorporation Generally, addition levels of 2-4% based on total weight of the paint are effective in enhancing corrosion protection. Due to the polarity of the metal group, highly pigmented systems or pigments with high surface areas may require higher levels of NACORR. This is due to the affinity of NACORR for the pigment surface. If active pigments are reduced or eliminated, they should be replaced with inert pigments to maintain solids and critical pigment volume concentrations. The NACORR products are based on a variety of different metal salts. The NACORR metal salts appear to be very system specific. Some work better than others, depending on the resin system, type of anti-corrosive pigment, and other formulation components. It is best to evaluate several of the NACORR products in your formulation to find the best performing product. Once a product is selected, it can be optimized by conducting a ladder study to determine a use level that best meets your performance needs. SYSTEM Solventborne Incorporation Method Can be post added with mild agitation or added to mill base. Water Reducible With Water In Mill Base No Water In Mill Base Emulsions, Colloids & Dispersions No Co-solvents With Co-solvents With Co-solvents & Amines If possible, remove water from base and add it to the letdown. Otherwise post-add under high agitation. Add 0.5-1.0% to mill base by premixing the NACORR, solvent and resin prior to pigment. Add balance to letdown prior to any water addition Post-add under high agitation during letdown prior to any water addition Premix with coalescing solvent prior to addition. A typical ratio of 1:1 is recommended. Next add mixture under high agitation prior to any water addition. Premix with coalescent and amine. Add under high agitation prior to any water. A typical starting ratio for premix: 50% NACORR, 45% coalescent and 5% amine by weight. Note: NACORR 1389 has best water dispersability and in most cases can be added directly to the letdown. 2
NACORR Performance NACORR liquid organic corrosion inhibitors provide improved corrosion resistance when used as the sole CI in coatings formulations. They allow the formulation of anticorrosive systems without anticorrosive pigments as may be required for high gloss direct to metal topcoats and clearcoats. NACORR Synergy With Anti-corrosive Pigments To achieve the level of corrosion resistance found with chromates and other environmentally unacceptable anti-corrosive pigments, the NACORR products are often used synergistically with more environmentally friendly anti-corrosive pigments. For a full listing of King Industries, Inc. formulations demonstrating synergy with a wide variety of commonly used anticorrosive pigments, including; borates, phosphosilicates and phosphates, please refer to www.kingindustries.com/nacorr. Solventborne NACORR 1151 Performance in Solventborne Coatings As shown in Chart 3.1, when NACORR 1151 is post-added at a rate of 2% on the total weight of the coating, the anticorrosion benefits are clearly apparent in comparison to other organic corrosion inhibitors at the same dosage level.
