ADDAPT has launched the new product Anticor RCP. It is a rust conversion primer that combines excellent rust converting properties with strong adhesion to metals. It consists of an acrylic copolymer – Epoxy Hybrid blend with rust converting additives. Anticor RCP can be applied directly onto rusted substrates to convert the rust into an anticorrosive complex and thus passivating the substrate for further corrosion.

For more information on the Anticor RCP, please have a look at the technical information.

ADDAPT launches a new range of defoamers based on modified Siloxanes:

• Foamstop SX 29 is a highly effective Siloxane based Foam Control Agent for all types of use in aqueous industrial fluids.
• Foamstop SX 31 is a highly effective Siloxane based, Foam Control Agent for all types of aqueous and non-aqueous metalworking lubricant concentrates based on PolyoxyAlkylene technology.
• Foamstop SX 47 is a highly effective Foam Control Agent for all types of aqueous and non-aqueous metal working systems.
• Foamstop SX 53 is a highly effective Foam Control Agent for all types of aqueous and non-aqueous systems. It is a proprietary blend of Siloxane and Surface-Active components.
• Foamstop SX 67 is a highly effective Foam Control Agent for all types of aqueous and non-aqueous systems. It is a proprietary blend of Polyalkyleneglycols, and Siloxane based Surface-Active components.
