Biesterfeld and CORTEC CORPORATION agree on Europe-wide distribution of anti-corrosion additives

With immediate effect, Biesterfeld Spezialchemie is taking on responsibility for the Europe-wide distribution of anti-corrosion additives for paints and varnishes from U.S. manufacturer CORTEC CORPORATION. This cooperation is an excellent addition to the distributor’s portfolio for this industry.

The <link https: www.biesterfeld.com en product corrosion-inhibitors external-link-new-window internal link in current>organic and inorganic corrosion inhibitors offered are suitable for both solvent-containing and water-based formulations with an acrylate, polyurethane, epoxy or alkyd basis. Used alone or in combination with conventional anti-corrosion pigments, they offer long-term protection against corrosion on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates and prevent flash-rust formation.

In contrast to conventional anti-corrosion protection based on pigments, nano-VpCI® molecules penetrate deep into all cavities on the metal surface to inhibit the corrosion process. Even at very low concentrations (< 2 %) and with a small layer thickness (25 µm), this enables the metal to withstand a salt spray test for 1,000 hours without a problem.

“We’re delighted about the new partnership with CORTEC CORPORATION,” says Kathrin Schmitt, Product Manager, Biesterfeld Spezialchemie. “The anti-corrosion additives ideally complement our product portfolio, rounding off our range for paint and varnish applications.”
