These paints were celebrated for their ability to provide robust barrier protection and a dazzling gloss finish. \u00a0Yet, they came with a significant drawback &#8211; the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which did no favors for the environment. As governments tightened regulations on VOC emissions, a more eco-conscious alternative emerged: waterborne polymer dispersions for anticorrosive paints, particularly for safeguarding exposed steel surfaces in the open air.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s venture into the design of superior corrosion protection. While enhancing a binder&#8217;s barrier properties, including its resilience against water, salt, and atmospheric elements, marks a step forward, it alone cannot guarantee full corrosion protection. The remarkable improvement happens when we introduce anticorrosion inhibitors into the paint formulation, alongside a proper chemical pretreatment of the metal surface.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few decades, the coating industry has undergone a seismic shift towards the development of single-layer Direct to Metal Coatings (DTM). This approach aims to trim costs while preserving efficiency and performance. Imagine applying a coating directly onto metal surfaces, without the fuss of extensive cleaning or multiple pretreatment layers.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>Cromogenia<\/strong>, our mantra echoes the pursuit of sustainability and innovation. We are dedicated to <strong>creating solutions<\/strong> that blend <strong>sustainability<\/strong> and <strong>performance,<\/strong> always attuned to market demands and the aspirations of our clients. Enter <strong>UNICORR<\/strong> aim to introduce <strong>novelty <\/strong>in the landscape of <strong>waterborne binders<\/strong> for DTM paint formulations. UNICORR, a waterborne acrylic binder designed with ingenious phosphate functionality, <strong>eliminates the need for supplementary corrosion inhibitors to ensure robust corrosion protection<\/strong>. When applied under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, UNICORR-derived films unveil remarkable resistance to corrosion. The heart of this innovation lies in the covalent bonding of phosphate groups with the hydroxyl groups on the metal&#8217;s surface, culminating in a thin and impenetrable passive iron phosphate layer that intimately bonds with the polymeric film. The result? <strong>Outstanding corrosion protection<\/strong> that can weather even the harshest corrosive conditions (up to 500 hours in a salt spray test).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cromogenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portada-articulo-blogs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cromogenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portada-articulo-blogs.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cromogenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portada-articulo-blogs-980x603.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.cromogenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/portada-articulo-blogs-480x295.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Unicorr, the resistance you need, the protection you deserve:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In summary, UNICORR, designed by Cromogenia, emerges as a <strong>novelty<\/strong> in the world of waterborne anticorrosion paints, combining substrate passivation and exceptional water resistance for extended, robust protection.
