The patent for Improved Corrosion Inhibition Incorporating Phosphates was granted to Hexigone Inhibitors.
Hexigon Inhibitors Limited has announced that in January 2022 it has received the UK Patent No: GB2588924 for Improved Corrosion Inhibition Incorporating Phosphates for the Intelli-ion® solution.
The product developed by Hexigone provides corrosion protection both as a single replacement and as a synergistic inhibitor, as it improves the performance of phosphate-based inhibitors and lowers the amount of anti-corrosive additives required in the coating, allowing in this way to reduce the costs
related to raw materials.
Meeting the strict global environmental standards and requirements, Intelli-ion is used to protect metal assets in several sectors, such as the marine and aerospace industry.
“We are extremely pleased to see the hard work and dedication of the Hexigone Team resulting in this new patent being granted. This patent further enhances the company’s patent portfolio and demonstrates the company’s novel and solid chemistry,” stated Dr. Patrick Dodds, the CEO of Hexigone. “We are working globally to provide the coatings industry with safer and smarter solutions when it comes to corrosion protection. This patent demonstrates the high performance of the Intelli-ion® product range as a stand-alone inhibitor, or when used in synergy with other commercially available chromate free inhibitors. We look forward to our products and synergistic materials removing the previous reliance on chromium-6 corrosion inhibitors. Hexigone’s technical, manufacturing and commercial teams are driving the company forward as we undertake further collaborations with our customers.”
