Ascoteca has launched a tailored protection solution for highly reactive substrates that are very hard
to protect from flash-rusting. ASCOTRAN® HW10 provides an appropriate response to the flash rust
problems on “sensitive” substrates or in hard conditions, such as reactive substrate by nature
(welds, cast iron); alloys, weakened steel (welds, sandblasted surfaces); hard drying conditions (wet
atmospheres, confined room); highly corrosive paints, etc., notes a press note from the company.
ASCOTEC’s long-standing expertise in the anti-corrosion industry places it in a unique position as a
supplier of performance additives to meet the challenges encountered when applying water-based
paints onto certain metal.
The ASCOTRAN® technology imparts hydrophobic properties and preserves the water resistance of
the paint film. The additive is also optimizing protection with active components meticulously
selected to achieve the best possible synergy and performance. ASCOTRAN® HW10 contains a high
percentage of bio-based raw materials and is free from heavy metals and VOCs.
