Meet Intelli-ion®
Cutting Costs and Carbon Emissions Across the Globe
Intelli-ion® is different: its ion-exchange technology is engineered to deliver maximum corrosion protection at minimal loadings (0.5-3%) — all while supporting your sustainability goals and reducing raw material costs.
How Intelli-ion® Works
A fine organic ion-exchange powder that stores active inhibitors in a latent micro-reservoir.
Releases inhibitor only when corrosive ions are detected, providing smart, on-demand inhibition.
Low specific gravity (~1.35) delivers more usable volume per unit weight and effective protection at low loadings.
Can be formulated into all coatings chemistries, as well as post-added to solvent-based coatings.
Award-Winning Anti-Corrosion Technology
Intelli-ion® AX1 is an award-winning, multi-regional, patented anti-corrosion additive, that offers ‘smart' corrosion protection.
Specifically designed to completely replace heavy metal and chromate inhibitors or co-blend with phosphate inhibitors, Intelli-ion® elevates your primer coatings at low loadings.
Awards & Associations
High Performance
Independent testing by leading coatings manufacturers shows that Intelli-ion® AX1 offers superior or comparable performance vs current market-leading alternatives [*depending on reformulation goals]. While also providing improved adhesion.
‘Smart’ Technology
The multi-regional, patented Intelli-ion® AX1 technology offers a fast, ‘smart’ and effective corrosion response. Active ingredients stay dormant in the micro-reservoir system until they sense corrosion activity and release the inhibitor ‘on demand.’
Sustainable Benefits
Intelli-ion® AX1 is not only chromate, phosphate and heavy metal free but is manufactured using a circular economy approach, repurposing waste product into a high-performance, sustainable corrosion inhibitor.
With Intelli-ion® AX1 you can also:
Remove environmental warning labels from your packaging
Reduce your CO2 emissions per litre of paint
