If there was a safer alternative, why not use it?
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE CORROSION CONTROL
You no longer have to compromise on safety for your corrosion control.
OxiX is the safer choice to protect your employees and the environment.
Get rid of VOCs, Prop 65s, and Flammables.

VOC Free
Many volatiles contribute to environmental pollution such as the Green House Effect, Global Warming, Ozone Depletion, and Ground Water Contamination. These volatiles are found in most coatings. Whether you agree these effects are real, the public's perception is what matters. You no longer have to compromise. OxiX lets your company breathe a little easier.
No Prop 65s
Most coatings today still contain ingredients that are on California's Proposition 65 list of agents known to cause cancer or is a known reproductive toxin. You no longer have to compromise. OxiX outperforms many of these coatings in corrosion control AND contains zero ingredients on California's Proposition 65 list.
Health Rating of 1
Highly flammable, toxic coatings are the standard in industry. The vapors released during painting are dangerous and require special air-filtriation and PPE's for your employees. OxiX does not release dangerous vapors and it only requires minimal PPE for your employees. How? Our novel chemistry has re-defined safety in coatings. With a Health Rating of 1, you no longer have to compromise safety with OxiX.
How does OxiX perform? Better than you think! You no longer have to compromise on performance for your corrosion control. In a blind, third-party-verified study, OxiX outperfomed an industry-leading underbody rust preventative.
Not only is OxiX safer...it is better too.

No OxiX Used
A carbon-steel coupon was coated with a black enamel paint. No OxiX was used. The panel was intentionally scribed to measure creepback. The panel was subjected to SAE J2721 Accelerated Corrosion Study. The result is representative of 10 years in a corrosive northern road-salt environment.
OxiX Primered
A carbon-steel coupon was primered with OxiX and then top-coated with a black enamel paint. The panel was intentionally scribed to measure creepback. The panel was subjected to SAE J2721 Accelerated Corrosion Study. The result is representative of 10 years in a corrosive northern road-salt environment. Red Rust: 0.01% - 0.03%.
OxiX Aluminum Corrosion Comparison
The aluminum coupon on the left (AL-0) is bare aluminum. The aluminum coupon on the right (AL-3) is coated with OxiX. The panels were subjected to SAE J2721 Accelerated Corrosion Study. The result is representative of 10 years in a corrosive northern road-salt environment. Severe corrosion and pitting occured on AL-0. Almost no corrosion occured on the OxiX coated aluminum, AL-3. Even more impressive, OxiX is resistant to most acids. Protection of your aluminum goes beyond simple protection from salt - it also offers protection from acids such as hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and hydrofluoric acid.
OxiX Galvanized Steel Corrosion Comparison
The galvanized coupon on the left (G-0) is bare galvanized steel. The galvanized coupon on the right (G-3) is coated with OxiX. The panels were subjected to SAE J2721 Accelerated Corrosion Study. The result is representative of 10 years in a corrosive northern road-salt environment. Darkening and white corrosion of the galvanized steel coupon G-0 is prevalent. Almost no change occured on the OxiX coated galvanized steel coupon, G-3. The zinc used in galvanized steel is a sacrifical corrosion inhibitor, protecting the underlying steel. Once the zinc is consumed by corrosion, the steel becomes subject to rusting. OxiX is not a sacrificial corrosion coating and will preserve your metal for years beyond the life of zinc plating.
Rusted Ceiling Repaired With OxiX
The picture above shows the mid-way progression of OxiX being used to fix a rusted ceiling. The dark brown is rust yet to be coated with OxiX.
OxiX can be applied over existing rust. It not only stops the rust, it doesn't allow the rust to bleed-through the coating. A corrugated steel ceiling in a heavy manufacturing plant suffered severe corrosion because of vapors from hydrochloric acid. To repair nearly 10,000 square feet of ceiling, sandblasting was required and the metal protected with an industrial grade high-performance acrylic coating. The estimated cost of the repair was between $80,000 and $100,000 ($8 to $10 per square foot). OxiX was used instead. The ceiling was rinsed with a pressure washer to remove any loose rust. OxiX was pigmented to a light gray color and applied over the rust with a commercial airless sprayer. OxiX stopped the rust and has prevented any new rust from forming...even in a corrosive acid vapor environment. The cost of the project was approximately $20,000 ($2 per square foot). OxiX not only solved this company's problem, it also saved them at least $60,000.
OxiX is safer. OxiX performs. It must be expensive, right? No.
You don't have to compromise cost. OxiX costs a fraction of most rust preventative coatings. It is less expensive than polyurea, polyurethane, and epoxy coatings and contains no VOCs or Prop 65s. OxiX is cost competitive to water-based industrial alkyld direct-to-metal coatings, without using zinc or heavy metals.
