Pickling inhibitors
Pickling inhibitors for surfaces are chemical substances that have been developed to inhibit the corrosion process on various material surfaces. These inhibitors play a crucial role in protecting metals and other materials from unwanted corrosion that can be caused by environmental influences such as moisture, oxygen or aggressive chemicals.
The composition of pickling inhibitors varies depending on the application and the specific requirements of the surface to be protected. As a rule, however, they contain active substances that react with the metal surface and form a protective barrier. This can be done by forming a thin film or chemical compound that shields the metal surface from the harmful effects of the environment.
Stain inhibitors are applied by spraying or rubbing into the surface to be protected. This can be done by spraying, dipping or rubbing, depending on the type of material and the specific application. Pickling inhibitors are available in various formulations to meet different requirements.
The use of pickling inhibitors is particularly important in industries such as metalworking, shipbuilding, oil and gas and other areas where materials are exposed to moisture and aggressive substances. The use of pickling inhibitors not only extends the service life of materials, but also preserves their integrity and functionality.
