One major breakthrough in the world of Anticorrosives was the discovery of especially one effective organic inhibitor, today well-known under the trade name HEUCORIN® RZ, which is based on a zinc salt of an organic nitro compound. Adding very small quantities of HEUCORIN® RZ leads to significant improvements of existing protective coatings and dropped formulation costs. The new balance between performance and cost provided HEUCORIN® RZ with the missing access to mainstream applications. As a result more and more formulators use HEUCORIN® RZ to optimize the protective properties of their anticorrosive coatings. HEUCORIN RZ does and certainly will play a key role in protective coatings of the future.
Water borne coatings can cause corrosion to metallic substrates in the form of flash- or early rusting. It is well-known that organic corrosion inhibitors enable the formulator to enhance the performance properties of inorganic anti-corrosive pigments when used in combination. The use of organic combined with inorganic corrosion inhibitors together with flash/early rust inhibitors is the present state of the art to control these effects. HEUCORIN® FR is a new innovative product on the market, being both, a high performance organic corrosion and a highly effective flash/early rust inhibitor. This “2 IN 1 SOLUTION” is a major advantage over a lot of other available inhibitors providing only flash/early rust inhibition or temporary protection.
