I found this site about Tanks...

.

The IS-7 heavy tank, also known by its project name Object 260, is a Soviet tank that began development in 1945. The vehicle existed only in prototype form and was cancelled in favor of the T-10 tank. he IS-7 heavy tank design began in Leningrad in 1945 by Nikolai Fedorovich Shashmurin[1][2][5] Weighing 68 tonnes, thickly armoured and armed with a 130 mm S-70 long-barrelled gun, it was the largest and heaviest member of the IS family[4] and one of the most advanced heavy tank designs.[1

Zimmerit was a paste-like coating used on mid- and late-war German armored fighting vehicles during World War II. It was used to produce a hard layer covering the metal armor of the vehicle, providing enough separation that magnetically attached anti-tank mines would fail to stick to the vehicle, despite Germany being the only country to use magnetic anti-tank mines in numbers. Zimmerit was often left off late-war vehicles due to the unfounded concern that it could catch fire when hit.[1] It was developed by the German company Chemische Werke Zimmer & Co (Berlin).[2]

nobody used it post war and we discontinued its use during the war
