Sds For Corrosion Inhibitor
Leonides Suttle
A corrosion inhibitor or anti-corrosive is a chemical compound added to a liquid or gas to decrease the corrosion rate of a metal that comes into contact with the fluid.[1] The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor depends on fluid composition and dynamics. Corrosion inhibitors are common in industry, and also found in over-the-counter products, typically in spray form in combination with a lubricant and sometimes a penetrating oil. They may be added to water to prevent leaching of lead or copper from pipes.[2]
A common mechanism for inhibiting corrosion involves formation of a coating, often a passivation layer, which prevents access of the corrosive substance to the metal. Permanent treatments such as chrome plating are not generally considered inhibitors, however: corrosion inhibitors are additives to the fluids that surround the metal or related object.
The nature of the corrosive inhibitor depends on (i) the material being protected, which are most commonly metal objects, and (ii) on the corrosive agent(s) to be neutralized. The corrosive agents are generally oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is generally removed by reductive inhibitors such as amines and hydrazines:
In this example, hydrazine converts oxygen, a common corrosive agent, to water, which is generally benign. Related inhibitors of oxygen corrosion are hexamine, phenylenediamine, and dimethylethanolamine, and their derivatives. Antioxidants such as sulfite and ascorbic acid are sometimes used. Some corrosion inhibitors form a passivating coating on the surface by chemisorption. Benzotriazole is one such species used to protect copper. For lubrication, zinc dithiophosphates are common - they deposit sulfide on surfaces.
Corrosion of tap water pipes can be influenced by a number of factors such as the pH, buffering capacity, and hardness.[6] Methods of control include directly adjusting the pH, adding phosphates, silicates as an alternative corrosion inhibitor, or adding bicarbonates for buffer.[2]
Orthophosphates may be added in tap water treatment systems to prevent leaching of lead and copper from water pipes and reduce the ion content in tap water to safer, legal levels.[2] Polyphosphates can be used to control iron and manganese, which cause discoloration, but do not control lead and copper. The water industry commonly uses a blended-phosphates formulation to deal with both issues.[7] Phosphates convert any leached ions into a layer of scale that acts to separate the metal piping from the water.[8]
Phosphate-type inhibitors may cause eutrophication issues downstream or directly encourage algal growth in uncovered, treated water reservoirs. As a result, local water systems may elect to use alternative methods.[9]
In areas with widespread lead and copper piping systems, corrosion control using inhibitors and monitoring techniques is central to water safety. Figures such as the chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio (CSMR) can be used to estimate the risk of corrosion at galvanic connections (i.e. desimilar pipe/solder connections, such as a lead-to-iron transition). The 2014 Flint water crisis was caused by a combination of source water change and a lack of corrosion control. The new, higher-CSMR water not only dissolved lead and iron from the pipes themselves, but also broke up previous layers of lead-containing rusty scale in pipes, allowing them to enter the water supply.[8]
WD-40 Specialist Corrosion Inhibitor is an anti-rust spray ideal for preventative maintenance and use in extreme environments such as high humidity. It provides non-drying protection that stays where you spray it. It has a long-lasting formula to protect metal parts by blocking rust and corrosion for up to 1 year outdoors or 2 years indoors. A must have for corrosion protection.
Treat the metal components of lawnmowers, snowmobiles and snowblowers before storing for a rust-free season. WD-40 Specialist Corrosion Inhibitor can even winterize your fishing rods and garden tools.
Super Lube Metal Protectant and Corrosion Inhibitor provides long-term protection against rust and corrosion on any metal surface. It is non-drying, will not harden or crack and is ideal for preventative maintenance in high humidity environments.
ZERUST corrosion engineers go beyond Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor technology by offering a comprehensive system called Integrated Corrosion Technologies (ICT). ICT is our term for the various material and chemical sciences that comprise our ZERUST packaging product system, including (VCI) Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor technology. Depending on the corrosion protection requirements and economic targets, ZERUST products can be designed in one or more of the following combinations to provide the optimum corrosion protection system.
Vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) are substances that slowly release a corrosion-preventative compound into a sealed air space, effectively protecting exposed metal surfaces. VCIs are often used in situations where it is impractical or undesired to use rust-preventative liquids or other surface treatments.
The compounds that VCIs release into an airspace actively prevent corrosion by forming strong bonds with a metal surface, promoting and maintaining the natural and healthy passive oxide layer on the metal. The VCI layer that forms is invisible, dry, and does not affect the physical properties or functionality of the metal in any way. The protected metal can be painted, treated, and/or used straight out of the ZERUST package without further cleaning.
ZERUST VCI packaging films are available in many stock and custom options. VCI Film comes in a range of sizes and MIL thicknesses and can be made in VCI plastic sheets, tubing, J-sheeting, and c-fold sheeting. Some stock bag options are flat VCI bags, zipper bags, and VCI gusset liners. A range of metal protection types are available, as well as acid-gas scavenging technology, and additives such as ESD and UV protection can be incorporated.

VCI Emitters (also known as VCI diffusers) provide targeted corrosion protection in hard-to-reach enclosed spaces or can be used as added protection to ZERUST VCI packaging products. VCI Emitters emit powerful ZERUST corrosion inhibiting molecules into an enclosure that settle on metal surfaces and protect them from corrosion. They are safe for electronics, odorless*, non-toxic*, residue-free, and are designed to work in restricted spaces.

ZERUST carries and produces a wide range of corrosion-inhibiting films, kraft papers, VCI bags, and VCI sheeting technologies. ZERUST VCI Paper packaging products are acid-free, pH neutral, and sourced from responsibly managed forests. They are produced in the USA without bleaching agents and in facilities powered by renewable energy. Your customer service representative can help recommend the ideal packaging solution for your application needs.

MCIs are based on amine technology (amine alcohols and amine carboxylates). They are classified as mixed inhibitors, meaning they affect both anodic and cathodic portions of a corrosion cell. MCI is applied in many forms including as a concrete admixture or a topical treatment. It moves as a liquid through the concrete matrix via capillary action and migrates in a vapor phase throughout the concrete pore structure. When MCI comes in contact with embedded metals, it has an ionic attraction to it and forms a protective molecular layer. This film prevents corrosive elements from further reacting with the reinforcement and also reduces existing corrosion rates, greatly extending concrete service life.
