1 + 2 > 3 non‐toxic corrosion inhibitor synergisms

Abstract

Meticulous formulation is required to optimize performance of non‐toxic corrosion inhibitors. The proper loading level and pigment volume concentration must be obtained. The old adage “more is better” does not apply to these new pigments. While research is still underway to find the perfect replacement for leads and chromes, formulators today need techniques which will help them now. It has been found that several of today’s non‐toxic corrosion inhibitors can work synergistically with each other to produce performance greater than either one can alone. This paper will summarize some of the results found by the proper combination of non‐toxic anti‐corrosive agents.
