Azole based Inhibitors
Inhibitors are a unique azole chemistry used for the inhibition of copper and copper alloy heat exchanger surfaces. This material is used to establish a protective corrosion inhibitor film on the metal surface. Inhibitor is unique because it is compatible with oxidizing biocides. This makes it a good choice for cooling systems where chlorine and/or bromine are used to control microbiological activity. Indirectly, it also reduces the corrosion of steel surfaces within a given cooling system. This occurs if the steel corrosion is a result of a galvanic reaction between the steel surface and the products of copper corrosion which have been deposited on the steel.
