What is the function of corrosion and scale inhibitors

Corrosion and scale inhibitors are commonly used chemicals that primarily protect metal surfaces from corrosion and dirt. At the same time, it can also prevent water or other liquids from adhering to the metal surface and forming scale when flowing inside metal products such as pipelines, boilers, heating equipment, etc.

Specifically, corrosion and scale inhibitors can form a uniform, dense protective film with high adhesion and toughness in water, thereby preventing the reaction between the metal surface and oxygen, carbon dioxide, sulfate ions, etc. in the water; At the same time, this protective film can also prevent the formation of scale. Due to the excellent corrosion and scale inhibition properties of corrosion and scale inhibitors, they can effectively maintain the smoothness of metal surfaces, extend the service life of metal products, and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

In addition, corrosion and scale inhibitors also have bactericidal and disinfection effects, which can kill bacteria and microorganisms in water, thereby preventing the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in pipelines, boilers and other equipment, and ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of water quality. Therefore, corrosion and scale inhibitors have been widely used in water treatment in industries, buildings, HVAC, and other fields.
