Surfactant-based rust inhibitors (corrosion inhibitors)"SANHIBITOR"

Wide lineup of both water-soluble and oil-soluble rust inhibitors

What's great about Sanyo Chemical's surfactant-type rust inhibitor (corrosion inhibitor) "SANHIBITOR"

1

Good adsorption on metal surfaces and exhibits good corrosion resistance

The SANHIBITOR products are surfactant-type rust inhibitors. Surfactant type rust inhibitors (corrosion inhibitors) have hydrophobic (lipophilic) and polar groups in their molecules. The polar groups adsorb to the metal substrate to form a film, while the hydrophobic groups block water and oxygen, thus providing good rust inhibiting effects.

Wide lineup of both water-soluble and oil-soluble rust inhibitors

We have a lineup of both water-soluble and oil-soluble rust inhibitors. In addition to rust inhibitors, we also have a lineup of products with features such as corrosion resistance, salt water resistance, anti-emulsification, low foaming, etc., which can be selected according to the application and materials to which they are applied.

Classification and applications of rust inhibitors (corrosion inhibitors)

Classification and features of various rust inhibitors (corrosion inhibitors)

 Rust inhibitors can be classified into water-soluble, oil-soluble, and vaporizable types. Water-soluble and oil-soluble rust inhibitors can be applied as is as rust inhibiting oil or added to solutions.

 Water-soluble rust inhibitors are either inorganic or organic, and are classified into three types based on the mechanism of rust inhibiting film formation: oxide film type, precipitation film type, and adsorption film type. Organic rust inhibitors are mainly surfactants that form adsorption films and are used as primary rust inhibitors for metal parts and as rust inhibitor additives for cooling water and water-soluble metalworking oils.

 We have a lineup of rust inhibitors of the adsorption film type (surfactant type) shown in the table below.

Method of measuring anti-corrosion performance on nonferrous metals 
  The test specimen was immersed in the sample at 20°C for 10 days, removed, wiped dry, and observed. Then, according to JIS K 2234 "Corrosive property test of antifreeze solution for metals," the test piece was cleaned and its mass was measured, and the change in mass was calculated from the following formula. 

  <Test specimen >
  The following test specimens (6.5 mm diameter hole) specified in JIS K 2234 "Antifreeze metal corrosion test" were used after polishing and cleaning. 
 Copper: C1100P specified in JIS H 3100 (dimensions: 1.6 x 50 x 25 mm)

 Solder: H30A specified in JIS Z 3282 (Dimensions: 3.0 x 50 x 25 mm) 

  <Calculation formula for mass change >
Mass change mg/cm2 = (mass of specimen before test - mass of specimen after test) / total surface area of specimen.
