Anti-corrosion pigments

Anti-corrosion pigments are special chemical compounds used in coatings and paints to protect metallic surfaces from corrosion. These pigments are used to slow down or prevent the formation of corrosion products by inhibiting or neutralizing chemical reactions with the metal substrate.

Typically, anti-corrosion pigments contain compounds such as zinc phosphate, zinc chromate, zinc borate or molybdenum oxide. These pigments have the ability to spread on the metal surface and form a protective layer that insulates the metal from moisture and corrosive substances. They can also act as a barrier layer to reduce direct contact between the metal and the corrosive environment.
