Highly-Corrosive Caribbean Environment Requires High-Performance
Protection
Dick Whitehead knew Bob Haydu when Bob started Bronz-Glow
in New Jersey, in the early 80s. Dick was a vice president
with an international trading company, and worked with a lot
of Carrier distributors internationally. In 1985, Dick took
this experience and started Dexcom, becoming Carrier's distributor
for the Netherlands Antilles marketplace. He also began using
his knowledge of Bronz-Glow products to help his customers
in their struggle with inescapable salt air corrosion. As
Dick puts it, "On an island, there's nowhere you can go to
get away from the salt air."
As Dick puts it, the ever-present problem of corrosion creates
a "derived demand." He says, "There are a variety of options
but, even based on trial and error, people seem to end up
with Bronz-Glow almost by default. They ultimately learn from
costly failures and years of bad experiences. Nowadays, more
and more of the companies I work with specify Bronz-Glow."
Throughout the last 25 years or so, Dick has seen almost
every type of coating tried, from plain paint to factory coatings,
baked phenolics and "coatings of the month." Only Bronz-Glow
has proven itself over time to withstand the worst corrosive
environments, and keep his customers happy.
"Once they experience Bronz-Glow, they tend to stay with
Bronz-Glow. Our job is largely a matter of informing and educating
the engineers, architects and end users, so their spec is
not broken or an inferior coating applied instead of Bronz-Glow."
For Dexcom, Bronz-Glow is the right product, at the right
price, regardless of how hostile the environment may be.
