The corrosion inhibitor is a substance which, when added to an environment in a small concentration, effectively reduces the corrosion rate of a metal exposed to that environment. There are three types of corrosion inhibitors: anodic inhibitors, cathodic inhibitors and mixed inhibitors. When choosing the corrosion inhibitor for your application, several things need to be considered, as follows:
1-Materials to be protected
2-Method of application (dip, spray, brush, etc.)
3-Type of protection required (in process, storage or shipping)
