High performance coatings: in situ surface modification with zircoaluminate metallo organic coupling agents

Abstract

Zircoaluminate metallo organics constitute a unique family of surface modification agents which are cost effective in irreversibly modifying all inorganic fillers/pigments, carbon black, and many organic pigments. Direct in situ addition to coating resin or solvent (at 0.5–1.5 phf) will result in pronounced viscosity reduction (50.95%), reduced settling and particulate agglomeration, and improved colour strength and opacity. Zircoaluminates also improve salt spray resistance, enhance adhesion to metal substrates and eliminate telegraphing.
