Corrosion Inhibitor

A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical compound that, when added to a liquid or gas, decreases the corrosion rates of the material, typically a metal or an alloy. In real sense, corrosion inhibitors are additives to the fluids that surround the metal or related object.

It is popularly used for protecting steam condensate lines in food and industrial plants against rust, pitting and corrosion.

Corrosion inhibitors are often added to paints. A pigment with anticorrosive properties is zinc phosphate. Compounds derived from tannic acid or zinc salts of organo nitrogens can be used together with anticorrosive pigments.

Corrosion inhibitors are commonly added to coolants, fuels, hydraulic fluids, boiler water, engine oil, and many other fluids used in industry. For fuels, various corrosion inhibitors can be used. Some components include zinc dithiophosphates. In water purification, condensate line corrosion inhibitor are commonly used. It could either be Morpholine, Cyclohexylamine, Zinc PO4 or Azole-Phosphonate based and it is available under supply arrangement as either Type A or Type B.
