Do more for less with Intelli-ion® 〰️ Elevating Anti-Corrosion Coatings with Low Loadings 〰️
Corrosion costs the world economy trillions of dollars a year. Our customers create safer and more sustainable communities through ‘chemically intelligent’ coatings. Our corrosion inhibitors are chromate, phosphate and heavy metal free. They have been independently proven to be more effective than market leading alternatives, producing coatings with superior performance and protecting assets, and the environment, for longer.
Our product, Intelli-ion®, has been independently proven to be more effective than market-leading alternatives - plugging the gap for a highly effective, chrome-free inhibitor in the coatings industry.
Patented Intelli-ion® technology protects in a completely unique way. The micro-reservoir system holds chemicals that were previously incompatible with coatings and releases the inhibitor ‘on demand.’
Intelli-ion® products can be used as total replacements for existing anti-corrosive systems or as hybrids - producing cost effective products both in the manufacturing process and by protecting for longer.
The Challenge
Corrosion costs the economy trillions of dollars every year, and despite being highly effective, the EU has banned the use of Hexavalent Chromate due to its toxic and carcinogenic nature. Coatings companies are now looking for a safe, cost-effective alternative that delivers the results of chromate inhibitors.
The Solution
Hexigone embarked on the challenge of finding a chrome-free replacement. The team moved their research away from mainstream thinking and explored smart-release vehicles that can hold onto chemicals that were previously incompatible with coatings. The result? A safer, smarter way to protect against corrosion.
