Q1: What is the primary function of ECKART Zinc Flake AT Pigment in protective coatings?
A: ECKART Zinc Flake AT Pigment provides cathodic protection and barrier functionality in corrosion-inhibiting coatings, particularly for steel substrates. Its lamellar zinc flake structure enhances coating integrity and improves resistance to moisture and electrolyte penetration.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for water-based systems?
A: Yes, ECKART Zinc Flake AT Pigment is specially surface-treated to ensure good compatibility and dispersion stability in both solvent-borne and water-based coating formulations, including acrylic and epoxy dispersions.
Q3: How does it differ from conventional zinc dust pigments?
A: Unlike spherical or irregular zinc dust, ECKART Zinc Flake AT features thin, plate-like particles with high aspect ratio. This morphology promotes overlapping layer formation in dried films, significantly improving barrier properties and reducing zinc consumption per unit of protection.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range in finished coating formulations?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and performance targets, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the total formulation—to achieve effective corrosion inhibition without compromising film properties.
