Corrosion Inhibitor
* Types of Corrosion Inhibitors
- Corrosion inhibitors work in different ways depending on the environment and application:
1. Anodic Inhibitors – Form a protective oxide layer (e.g., chromates, nitrites).
2. Cathodic Inhibitors – Reduce the rate of cathodic reactions (e.g., phosphates, molybdates).
3. Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs/VpCIs) – Used in packaging to prevent rust in enclosed spaces.
4. Organic Inhibitors – Adsorb onto the surface and act as a protective barrier (e.g., amines, carboxylates).
5. Sacrificial Coatings – Zinc and aluminum-based coatings that corrode instead of the base metal. # Corrosion Inhibitor Manufacturer.
