Corrosion Inhibitor for Metal
- A corrosion inhibitor for metal is a chemical compound that, when added to a fluid or environment, significantly reduces the corrosion rate of metals exposed to that environment. These are widely used in industries to protect metal surfaces from degradation due to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive agents.
* Common Types of Corrosion Inhibitors:
1. Anodic Inhibitors (e.g., chromates, nitrates, molybdates)
- Form a protective oxide layer on the metal surface.
2. Mixed Inhibitors
- Affect both anodic and cathodic reactions.
* Example Applications:
1. Oil & Gas: Imidazoline-based inhibitors for internal pipeline protection.
2. Cooling Systems: Sodium molybdate or tolyltriazole for recirculating water systems.
3. Packaging: VCI-treated films and papers for parts in storage or shipping.
4. Paints/Coatings: Zinc phosphate as a primer pigment. # Corrosion Inhibitor Manufacturer.
