HinderRUST HV500 industrial grade liquid-to wax metal tube protection

barrier against moisture and oxygen. Use it on bare and rusted metal with no surface prep required. Because it is engineered with a UV resistant black colour, the coating stays a rich black and covers over existing rust while protecting against new corrosion.

FLUORAMICS, the company respon- sible for HinderRUST line of rust stoppers, has announced its new offering, HinderRUST HV500, an industrial grade non-drying blackened version of HinderRUST. HV500 is engineered to provide even stronger rust control while attractively covering over existing rust. This makes it perfect for use on no-touch areas of vehicles, industrial equipment, wrought iron fences, steel cables and wire ropes. “We’re excited about HinderRUST HV500 as a corrosion control option as it pairs a very robust rust-stopping chemistry with an eye-pleasing black coating. The possibilities for usage are tremendous,” said Gregg Reick, Fluoramics’ president and chief chemical engineer. Fluoramics’ liquid-to-wax formula means that it is easy to apply in a liquid state by paintbrush, roller or sprayer. It then slowly thickens to a wax-like surface protectant, providing a strong

existing rust while protecting against new corrosion. All HinderRUST products are solvent free and non-hazardous, which means they are safe to use everywhere and will not evaporate over time. The chemistry is both water-displacing and self-repairing. It remains mobile and fills voids created by nicks, scratches or dents. Like all maintenance products, it should be reapplied annually or as needed to maintain the barrier against corrosion.

HinderRUST is based on engineered PTFE chemistry that makes it an incredibly effective rust stopper. This compound is surface active because through a chemical process known as adsorption, it actually spreads across the surface of metal and forms a molecular adhesion to the surface. The process creates a film of HinderRUST on the surface of the metal, which make it much more difficult to wash off. HinderRUST HV500 is Fluoramics’ most robust corrosion stopper and is black in colour to cover over any

HBK launches new reference force sensor range for calibration systems

force measurement task, for example with a bending moment bridge to help determine the condition of calibration systems while in operation. Users also have the choice between a plug or a cable to facilitate integration. An optional transducer electronic datasheet (TEDS) provides guidance on adjustments to the sensors. The C5 achieves class 00 under the ISO376 standard, between the measurement range 40 and 100 per cent of its nominal force covering large capacities between 5MN and20 MN. This ensures the calibrated instruments, used for the verification of uniaxial testing machines provide accurate results.
