The Global Challenge of Corrosion

Corrosion is a multi-trillion-dollar problem globally, with costs estimated at more than 3% of world GDP when lost productivity, rework and premature replacement are included. At the same time, the industry is navigating tighter VOC and heavy-metal regulations, changing refinery slates that reduce access to traditional petroleum waxes and more demanding performance targets for thinner films and longer protection intervals.

Formulators need metal protection additives that deliver robust corrosion performance in salt spray, humidity and outdoor exposure tests, while remaining easy to blend, compatible with modern Group II/III base oils and aligned with sustainability and regulatory goals.

Lubrizol metal protection additives are engineered to give finished fluids the right balance of film strength, removability and compatibility across a broad range of applications, from in-process protection to long-term outdoor storage.
