Harnsaeure

My comment:

It's the only acid that I can think of for which this misspelling could apply. I agree with the other two: verification of 'Hemmsaeure' is needed.

Acid inhibitor

My comment:

This is more of a guess, based on "Hemmstoff" being an "inhibitor" according to Ernst, WB der industriellen Technik; the word itself doesn't google up terribly well - at all, in fact - so I think it is an invention. I'd suggest you ask the client...

I'm afraid the guess leads to a dead end, as it makes little sense that a sealant should be resistant to an inhibitor. I strongly support David's suggestion to clarify what's really meant (it should be a type of acid either a new development or simply a misprint) than to bet on the wrong horse;-)
