Corrosion Inhibiting Additives
Corrosion inhibitors are chemicals that can form an adsorbed monolayer on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion caused by water, air, and other rust-causing substances.
What is corrosion inhibitor?
Corrosion inhibitor is special chemicals that can form an adsorbed monolayer on a metal surface to prevent corrosion from water, air, and other things that cause rust.
Corrosion is a natural process where materials (usually metals) degrade due to their reaction with their surroundings. Iron rusting is a common example. This is the metal trying to return to a more stable state, such as oxides or sulfides.
Corrosion can cause many problems. It weakens structures, damages equipment, and can even lead to dangerous malfunctions, this is where corrosion inhibitors come in.
There are many types of corrosion inhibitors, each suitable for different metals and environments. Common corrosion inhibitors include chromates, phosphates, zinc compounds, and organic amines. The best choice of corrosion inhibitor depends on several factors, such as the type of metal to be protected, the specific corrosive environment (e.g., saltwater, acidic environments, or humid air), temperature, and the cost of the inhibitor.
Corrosion inhibitors are generally classified according to their service life, chemical composition, or end use as follows:
-
Sulfonates
- Barium sulfonate
- Sodium sulfonate
- Calcium sulfonate
-
Dinonyl naphthalene sulfonate
- Barium dinonyl naphthalenesulfonate
- Calcium dinonyl naphthalenesulfonate
- Zinc dinonyl naphthalenesulfonate
-
Carboxylic acid
- Dodecenyl succinic acid
- Dodecenyl succinate half-ester
-
Carboxylate
- Zinc naphthenate
- Lanolin magnesium soap
- Benzotriazole
- N-Oleoylsarcosine Octadecylamine Salt
- Barium petroleum ester soap
Adding them to oils, greases, and lubricants makes sure things keep running smoothly, especially when it's really humid or the conditions are tough. In many industries, including oil and gas, water treatment, manufacturing, and construction, the use of corrosion inhibitors is a common practice. They are a cost-effective way to extend the life of equipment and structures, prevent failures, and save costs in the long run.
