Acid Corrosion Inhibitor



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 the attacks of corrosive substances like acids, bases, oxidizing agents, caustic effects, etc., which react with the metal electrons, decreasing its metallic property and resulting in total structural damage. 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.

Before further elaboration, let us understand what acidic corrosion actually is and how does it affect metallic attributes?

Corrosion is referred to as the deterioration of materials by chemical interaction with the corrosive agents. A common phenomenon observed in the industrial areas, Corrosion complicates the overall working and operations depending upon the type of the metal and reagents used. The problem of corrosion increases when hydrogen ion concentration seems to be very high to react with the electrons of the metals, damaging operational equipment and structures. Acidic Corrosion refers to an electrochemical process that occurs due to the reaction of atmospheric moisture and environmental pollutants with the metal.  Acidic Corrosion causes wear and tear of material mainly by acidic components which can be prevented on application of right proportionated inhibitor.

Corrosion Inhibitors does 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.

Acid Corrosion Inhibitor prevents attack of acidic components present in the environment, on the metal components without interfering with the actual process. The type and concentration of the Acid Corrosion Inhibitor to be used depends upon the characteristics of metal that is needed to be protected and the operating conditions under which the metal works. Iron, aluminum, copper, etc., all require specific acid inhibitor formulations of corrosion preventative coatings for desired result.

Chemtex Speciality Limited has been manufacturing and supplying a wide range of acid corrosion inhibitors that meets the standard requirement for various applications in industrial sectors like oilfield, automobile, iron and steel, cement and ceramics, brewery and other process industries.

Acid Coil Cleaner leaves the aluminum surface clean and shining bright

Improper refrigerant levels, dirty coils, and worn out compressors or condensers can result in inefficient performance of air conditioning system. An inefficient system tends to force the compressor to work harder than is required decreasing its life span and thereby leading to higher energy bills. The primary energy required in operating an air conditioning system comes from the compression of refrigerant. The hotter the compressor receives the processed refrigerant, the more energy is necessary to force it through the condenser. The refrigerant needs to become cold enough to absorb more heat from the process, therefore an external chiller such as an open evaporative condenser or air blast unit is required. It is crucial for effective air-conditioning operation that the condenser is able to easily reject heat through the cooling airflow and the heat exchanger coils. Energy consumption builds up as the refrigerant vapor pressure increases, where the refrigerant is not sufficien...

Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) Coolant

Optimal use of machines is directly proportional to its engine performance. What an engine does is it converts the supplied energy into its mechanical form, driving the machine to work. Engines require one-third of total heat that is generated during conversion and the rest of the heat is needed to be evacuated from the combustion chamber which would otherwise lead to engine failure. Earlier, water was preferred as an ideal coolant for quite a period of time but the problem started to arise when the temperature would become extremely high or low, to be precise temperature more than 100 ° C and below 0°C. To get rid of this problem, coolants were formulated. Coolants are categorized chemicals that increases the boiling point of the fluid and decreases the freezing point of the fluid to make it suitable for use in extreme heat and freezing conditions. Coolants are a proportionate mixture of antifreeze and solvent, mainly glycol and water. Ideally utilized as a preventive in...
