5029

ISURF 05029 describes a method of preventing metal corrosion by the use of corrosion inhibitors made from naturally occurring pyrones. This technology describes the use of adsorption inhibitors derived from opuntiol in order to prevent acid corrosion of metal and metal alloys.

Damage due to metal corrosion accounts for 4.0% of the gross GDP in the United States. Various types of inhibitors are used across the industry in order to prevent acid interaction with metal and metal alloys. While certain inhibitors do not perform well in fluctuating acidic environments, others can alter the metal surface properties in an undesirable way. ISURF 05029 describes organic inhibitors that chelate the metal, thus preventing metal active sites from reacting with the acidic environment. This technology describes they use of materials derived from naturally occurring pyrones while proving superior over currently used absorption inhibitors. 

• Corrosion inhibitors developed from naturally occurring pyrones

• Superior corrosion inhibitors compared to current industry adsorption inhibitors

• Highly useful in environments where fluctuating pH levels is a concern
