Intelli-ion® is an award-winning, patented technology that is designed to completely replace heavy metal and chromate inhibitors or co-blend with phosphate inhibitors. It provides the coatings market with cost-effect, high-performance, sustainable anti-corrosive additives. The smart technology fights corrosion when used in primers with full system barrier topcoats and is compatible with a broad spectrum of resin types, coating types, and coatings manufacturing routes.
Hexigone manufactures smart, sustainable, and highly effective corrosion inhibitors. The patented and award-winning technology fights corrosion when used in primers with full system barrier topcoats and DTMs with applications in general industrial, protective, marine, coil and powder coatings + more.
Corrosion impacts public safety, the economy, and the environment. The most widely used and the most effective corrosion inhibitor - hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] - has been found to cause cancer in humans and animals and therefore, has been banned in the EU and is being phased out globally.
Driven by his interest in sustainability, Hexigone’s Founder and CEO embarked on a mission to develop a safe corrosion inhibitor of comparable performance to hexavalent chromate. During his EngD at Swansea University, Dr Patrick Dodds managed to develop a highly effective, safe alternative.
The protection mechanism is fast, smart and completely unique on the market. It utilises reservoir systems that can hold onto corrosion-inhibiting chemicals previously incompatible with coatings. The inhibitors can be used to completely replace existing inhibitors or co-blend with phosphate-based systems to deliver cost and environmental benefits.
