Description:
Original Hungarian vintage propaganda poster from 1965.
The minimalist, geometric poster calls the attention to the dangers of corrosion.
In the Research Institute for Heavy Chemical Industries that was founded in 1949 the Corrosion Department was established in 1950 and has been operating since that time. Cathodic protection was introduced and made widespread in Hungary by this successful intellectual workshop, where also several new coating systems and inhibitors - held now in high esteem - have been developed. The Department performed fundamental work for organizing corrosion prevention in Hungary. In 1961 this department founded the organization “VEKOR” (meaning Corrosion Organization of Chemical Industry). (source: www.vekor.hu)
