M-241 Powdered Corrosion Inhibitor Additive in UAE
M-241 Additive is a specialised Powdered Corrosion Inhibitor Additive developed for manufacturers working with waterborne coatings, rust preventatives, coolants and metalworking fluids. It blends corrosion protection into the formulation itself, helping protect carbon steel and aluminium during storage, application and service.
Unlike traditional corrosion pigments that may contain zinc phosphate, chromates or barium compounds, M-241 uses a heavy-metal-free formulation. It works through contact-phase protection, which means the treated product must contact the metal surface to create an effective corrosion-inhibiting environment.
M-241 can be incorporated into waterborne epoxies, urethanes, polyurethane dispersions, acrylic coatings and alkyd systems. It also helps reduce scribe creep on coated metal and controls corrosion inside containers holding water-based products.
Alvina supplies M-241 Additive across the UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. Regional supply is also available across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.
What is M-241 Additive?
M-241 is a powdered additive designed to improve corrosion protection in compatible water-based formulations. Manufacturers can introduce it into coating, coolant, metalworking-fluid and rust-preventive systems that come into contact with carbon steel or aluminium.
Waterborne formulations offer many practical benefits, but the presence of water can increase the risk of flash rust, container corrosion and coating damage around scratches. M-241 addresses these issues by depositing corrosion-inhibiting components directly onto the metal surface.
The product is suitable for:
- Waterborne epoxy coatings
- Waterborne urethane systems
- Polyurethane dispersions
- Acrylic coatings
- Water-based alkyds
- Rust-preventive formulations
- Coolants
- Metalworking fluids
Its powdered form gives formulators control over incorporation and dosage during production. However, laboratory testing remains essential because every coating or fluid has its own resin system, pH, pigment package and processing conditions.
