- Product Function
ASCOTRUST® X4 is a liquid additive for waterborne coatings. Reacts with metal cations to form stable organic complexes chemically bonded on the metal substrates, providing a stable and effective chemical passivation.
- Storage Information
1 year in its original closed drum, in storage conditions described above.; Some crystals may form when ASCOTRUST is stored at temperatures below -5°C for several days.; The product will recover its initial properties after warming at ambient temperature.

- IBC of 1000 kg net.
- Applications Information
ASCOTRUST® X4 is added to waterborne coatings directly applied on rusted or poor-prepared ferrous substrates. It ensures an effective blocking effect on residual rust, and avoids its migration through the fresh paint film. Its passivation properties on rust allow to maintain good anticorrosion performances of the coatings, despite the adverse substrate conditions. It doesn't compromise the coating anticorrosion performance on non-rusted substrates. ASCOTRUST® X4 is designed for any kind of waterborne coatings, pigmented or not, based on various binder technologies : acrylic, alkyd, epoxy, PU... It is recommended to use an organic-type anticorrosion agent when ASCOTRUST® X4 is added to a metal paint formulation.
