Colombia. A research conducted by a physics engineering student at the National University of Colombia, Manizales Headquarters, analyzed natural corrosion inhibitors such as coriander, avocado, mugwort, bitter sage and Bogota that create protective plates on steel that increase its useful life.
International. In 2019, concentration limits for methylisothiazolinone (MIT) specific substances will be reduced in many applications. Products that are preserved with MIT must be labeled with additional hazard warnings. Therefore, companies should prepare to switch to alternative active ingredients for paints, varnishes, adhesives, and washing and cleaning products in a timely manner.
International. In a new study, scientists at the South China University of Technology have developed an epoxy-based permeable coating with reactive solvent for concrete anti-corrosion.
Mexico. A research carried out at the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) demonstrated through the technique of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy that materials to coat water-based metals are more economically and environmentally efficient, since they emit 35 percent fewer pollutants than those manufactured with a solvent base.
