Our industry-changing patented Avantguard® technology with three activating components - zinc, hollow glass spheres and a proprietary activator:

1. Is the first zinc-rich primer to activate all 3 methods of corrosion protection: the Barrier effect, the Galvanic effect and the Inhibitor effect.
2. Is the first zinc-rich primer to triple the activation of the zinc content, boosting the Galvanic effect beyond any standard in the market.
3. Creates a much higher amount of insoluble salts than conventional zinc-rich primers, boosting the Barrier effect beyond any standard.

Avantguard® technology helps your coating system last up to 50% longer and protects your assets regardless of the environment they face. 

Give your assets a longer life, even in the toughest conditions. Avantguard® is proven to deliver superior corrosion protection with extended durability, so your coating system lasts up to 50% longer.  

Extended corrosion protection allows you to perform maintenance less often, reducing maintenance needs by up to 30% throughout the lifecycle of your asset. In addition, the special two-coat Avantguard® systems will instantly reduce your maintenance costs, through the reduced number of coats needed to complete the project.

Avantguard® is easy to apply and fast drying, even in high temperatures and humidity, so you’ll save up to 30% on the time needed to apply it. The unique patented technology with three activating components gives you the option to reduce the number of coats or coating thickness. Additionally, its self-healing capabilities also means your coating system will require less rework.

Avantguard® is the first zinc-rich primer to use all three methods of anti-corrosive protection: Barrier effect, Inhibitor effect and Galvanic effect. It combines zinc, hollow glass spheres and a proprietary activator in our unique patented technology, which triples the activation of the zinc. The result is superior corrosion protection with higher durability compared to standard zinc-rich primers.

 

In third-party neutral salt spray tests, Avantguard® has consistently shown superior anti-corrosive performance compared to standard zinc-rich primers. Avantguard® has an extensive track record of successfully protecting assets across the globe.
