acid INHIBITORS
Acid inhibitors are chemicals that prevent or reduce acid-induced corrosion on metal surfaces by neutralizing the acid, forming a protective layer, or altering its reactivity. They are widely used in industrial processes like cleaning, pickling, and chemical processing to protect metal parts from damage during acid exposure.
Benefits of Inhibitors
- Corrosion Protection: Prevents damage to metals during acid treatments like pickling or cleaning.
- Extended Equipment Life: Reduces wear and tear on machinery, tanks, and tools exposed to acids.
- Enhanced Process Efficiency: Inhibitors allow for longer exposure times to acids without significant metal degradation, improving processing efficiency.
- Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements due to acid corrosion.
