Corrosion inhibitors are used to protect metal surfaces from harsh environments—rain, snow, humidity, salt, acidity etc.—by forming a barrier between the surface and the corrosive material to improve corrosion resistance. Corrosion inhibitors and flash rust inhibitors are called upon to enable the used in machinery, equipment, cans, coils, and more to stand up to a variety of conditions that can cause corrosion.
Lubrizol is a recognized leader in chemistry for metal coating protection, of which corrosion protection is a key element. Lubrizol corrosion inhibitor and flash rust inhibitor technologies are designed to protect ferrous metal, zinc alloy and aluminum substrates. Drawing upon vast technical resources and decades of experience, Lubrizol is uniquely qualified to add value by developing products that are both innovative and responsive to customer needs.
