Corrosion Inhibitors

Corrosion Inhibitors can sustainably prevent oxidation and the formation of rust on metallic materials. Corrosion inhibitors typically consist of polar chemical compounds that form a protective layer on metal surfaces to protect them from corrosion. By forming this barrier, they prevent moisture, oxygen and other corrosive substances from coming into contact with the metal.

Corrosion inhibitors in the lubricant industry are used in a wide range of applications. In the automotive industry, for example, corrosion inhibitors are used in engine oils, coolants and other fluids to protect the sensitive parts of the engine from rust and corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors are also crucial in the aerospace industry to protect aircraft and spacecraft from the extreme conditions of flight and the space environment. Furthermore, corrosion inhibitors are used in hydraulic systems, cooling circuits, lubricants for machinery and equipment as well as in marine and offshore applications. Their use not only helps to extend the service life of machines, but also to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

Corrosion Inhibitors of the LUBIO® CI series help in the formulation of advanced lubricants that lubricate and protect the material at the same time. The additives in the LUBIO® CI series make a decisive contribution to the longevity of components. The chemistry of the corrosion inhibitors of the LUBIO® CI series is based on a polar framework. While LUBIO® CI 2 is present as an organic polycarboxylic acid in solid form, LUBIO® CI 3, CI 4 and CI 9 are liquid additives of high polarity. All corrosion inhibitors are water-soluble and therefore also suitable for water-based MWFs.

Corrosion Inhibitors play a crucial role in ensuring the operational safety and efficiency of technical equipment and machinery in various industries. Without protection against corrosion, metal parts would be susceptible to damage that could impair their functionality. The use of anti-corrosion additives prevents the formation of rust and other corrosive substances on metal surfaces, resulting in improved reliability, longer maintenance intervals and lower operating costs. In industries such as automotive, aerospace, industrial and marine, these additives are therefore crucial to ensure the functionality and safety of equipment and minimize downtime.
