Corrosion Inhibitors Corrosion inhibitors are substances applied to an environment that significantly reduces the corrosion rate of materials, particularly metals, exposed to that environment. Corrosion inhibitors can greatly extend the lifespan of equipment and reduce repair costs due to corrosive damage. They can also reduce cleaning costs, improve performance, and optimize operational efficiencies. ... Read more »
Benzotriazole (BTA) is known for its great versatility. BTA is a corrosion inhibitor of high purity for copper, copper alloys, and yellow metal protection. Benzotriazole works by creating a complex between copper and benzotriazole which functions as a passivation layer to protect the metal from corrosion. It is also commonly used in water cooling systems.... Read more »
