Abstract
Sodalite is synthesized in the presence of a stoichiometric quantity of Permanganate ion. After thorough washing to remove trace salts the resulting pigment may be encapsulated with amorphous silica using the Iler process. The resulting pigment has enhanced acid stability and provides excellent corrosion protection on reactive metal substrates such as Aerospace Aluminum or Coil grade Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel.
Claims10
A method of providing protection to a surface against corrosion by applying to said surface an effective amount of a crystalline Sodalite-Permanganate material which is substantially free of trace salts.
A crystalline sodalite-permanganate material having the ratio of elements Na8Al6Si6O24(MnO4)2-xOHx where “x” is between 0.1 and 0.9, which is substantially free of trace salts, the acid stability of which is enhanced through the deposition onto the material of an amorphous silica coating.
A coated metal composition comprising a Zinc or Zinc-Aluminum alloy coated coil stock having deposited thereon a primer composition comprising a primer material and a crystalline sodalite-permanganate material having the ratio of elements Na8Al6Si6O24(MnO4)2-xOHx where “x” is between 0.1 and 0.9, which is substantially free of trace salts.
A coated metal composition comprising an aerospace grade aluminum alloy, top-coated with a color coat, and having deposited thereon an epoxy primer composition comprising a primer material and a crystalline sodalite-permanganate material having the ratio of elements Na8Al6Si6O24(MnO4)2-xOHx where “x” is between 0.1 and 0.9, which is substantially free of trace salts.
A method of providing protection to a surface against corrosion by applying to said surface an effective amount of a primer composition comprising a primer material and a crystalline sodalite-permanganate material which is substantially free of trace salts.
A crystalline sodalite-permanganate material, substantially free of trace salts, which is treated with dilute phosphoric acid.
