Nanoguard ACP 2
Standard water based acrylic after 800 hours B117 Salt spray showing improved adhesion and reduced under film corrosion compared to a standard formulation with traditional anti corrosive pigments from a well known German producer.
Nanoguard ACP® DCP
Styrene alkyd direct to metal (Nanoguard ACP® DCP – far left) compared to 2 competitive formulations showed an improvement of more than 5 times the anti corrosive efficiency according to one of the leading paint producers. Improved adhesion, reduced under film corrosion compared to competitive formulation compared to products from German, French and American producers.
