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.

RO Antiscalant

Reverse Osmosis serves as one of the most critical processes that are involved in the process water treatment to clean water, utilized in various industrial process applications. Reverse Osmosis can be regarded as the process wherein semi-permeable membranes help in separating purified water from contaminated water. It occurs when a pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane resulting in forcing purified water to the dilute side. Reverse Osmosis is very efficient for the treatment of brackish, surface and ground water for both large and small flow applications. Some examples of industries that use RO water include boiler feed water, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, metal finishing and semiconductor manufacturing to mention a few. The overall performance of a reverse osmosis system relies on various factors like feed water quality, membrane type, flow control, temperature and pressure. Systems must be well maintained for ensuring effective performance with any

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

Antiscalant Chemical for RO Plant

  Reverse Osmosis System is a revolutionary invention to treat water and provide an effective solution for purifying water in various applications. The performance of RO can be ensured by the formation of scale and deposits on the membranes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs.   To prevent this issue, antiscalant chemicals play an important role in reducing the formation of scale and maintaining optimal RO Plant performance. Reverse Osmosis is widely used in various industries to treat water and to remove impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. The dense, thin, and semi-permeable layer allows water molecules to pass through while rejecting dissolved solids, and other impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. But the major issue that surfaces in such systems is the formation of scales due to the build-up of dissolved minerals and salts on the surface of the RO Membrane. RO Antiscalant Chemicals – Cost-effective Soluti
