How Acid Corrosion Inhibitor Works?

Industrial sectors like Automobiles, Manufacturing, Oilfields, and Processing facilities have huge involvement of metals and the most crucial problem they face is of corrosion. Heavy Industry metals are prone to acid cleaning and pickling for removal of rust, scales, stubborn dirt, stains, tough deposits from their surface. Owing to this, there remains high chances of acidic residues post cleaning, which in due course of time reacts with the metal ions, degrading them completely.

The financial loss caused due to corrosion per year is estimated in the range of thousands of crores and even causing threat to environmental balance.

Acid Corrosion Inhibitor prevents the corrosive reactions of acid when exposed to metal surfaces, maximizing longevity, minimizing the operational cost. It works by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids. This layer prevents direct contact between the acid and the metal, thus inhibiting the corrosive process. It increases longevity as well as enhances metal durability. Rust is a persistent challenge faced by industries across the world. Acid corrosion inhibitors offer an effective solution to combat corrosion, control its impact, enhance corrosion resistance, prevent rust and provide surface treatment.

Why does metal get corroded?

Steel and iron are mainly used in many industries for their excellent mechanical characteristics and cheaper cost. Various industry processes use acidic solutions widely for their low cost, some of the critical fields of the application being acid pickling of steel, ore production and oil well acidification, chemical cleaning and processing, etc.  These acidic solutions react with metallic surfaces and cause the deterioration of materials.

Benefits of Using Acid Inhibitors

Acid Inhibitor contains a highly effective blend of surfactants, solvents, and dispersants that prevent corrosion even at high temperatures. These inhibitors do not allow the accumulation of reducing agents to the surface of the metal and forms a thin protective film that covers the surface and molecules of the chemical gets adsorbed on the same, making the surface inert and prevent almost all kind of reactions with corrosive agents.
