HEUCOFLASH™ - LQ1 & LQ2
Innovative Flash Rust Inhibitors
Waterborne coatings can cause corrosion to metallic surfaces in form of flash- or early rusting. This flash rust is caused by the water in the system and migrates through the coating during the gelling and drying time and forms rust spots visible on the surface and in some cases also on the metal surface itself. This
has to be inhibited to provide long lasting coatings. To protect the surface from rusting, organic and inorganic compounds are used as flash rust inhibitors that provide an early protection by preventing
the formation of rust spots during the gelling and curing time. This will not replace any anti-corrosive pigments that are necessary for long term protection. The newly introduced HEUCOFLASH™ products are an addition to the anti-corrosive pigment portfolio of HEUBACH Group.
There are two versions, HEUCOFLASH™ LQ1 and HEUCOFLASH™ LQ2, both are clear yellowish water based solutions of organic and inorganic compounds and salts. HEUCOFLASH™ are VOC free liquid flash rust inhibitors that can be added during any step of manufacturing by simply stirring in.
