EMADOX®D525 is mainly recommended for:
in-can protection for metal packaging filled with water based formulations (paints and varnishes, but also cleaning products)
flash-rust protection of water based decorative coatings based on acrylic dispersions, alkyd emulsions.
EMADOX®D525 must be added preferentially in the letdown, before the rheological agents. The use in post-addition is also a possible option. The use levels are:
typically, around 1% based on the total weight for in-can protection
1.5 to 2% based on the total weight for flash-rust protection
There is no advantage to use higher levels. On the contrary, a too high dosage can increase the water sensitivity of the dry film.
