Chemtex’s Propylene Glycol Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical additive designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways.

Metal surfaces are prone to corrosion very easily.But with the help of propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor this corrosion can be prevented. It buffers the organic acids formed as a result of glycol oxidation. Inhibited glycol based heat transfer fluids provides corrosion protection without reducing system’s heat transfer efficiency. In Glycol system glycol is degraded from time-to-time,so it is very much important to stop this degradation.Glycol in presence of heat and air degrades into five organic acids namely: Glycolic Acid, Glyoxalic Acid, Formic Acid, Carbonic Acid & Oxalic Acid. Metal acts as catalyst in un-inhibited glycol solution for the formation of these acids, which then chemically attacks and corrodes system. Propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor is also available in Pre Inhibited Propylene Glycol and normal Propylene Glycol Glycol turning Red. What does it indicate? Due to immense corrosion in system, the rust in the system metal makes the glycol turn r
