At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we recognize that maintaining the integrity of industrial infrastructure is paramount. In circulating cooling water systems, particularly those found in power plants, chemical plants, and steel mills, the constant flow of water presents a significant risk of corrosion to vital metal components. Carbon steel and copper are widely used materials due to their cost-effectiveness and thermal properties, but they are inherently susceptible to corrosion. Effective corrosion inhibition is not just about preventing rust; it's about ensuring the longevity, safety, and efficiency of the entire system.

Corrosion in these systems typically occurs through electrochemical processes. Dissolved oxygen, impurities in the water, and variations in metal surfaces can create anodic and cathodic sites, leading to the gradual degradation of the metal. Without proper protection, this can result in pitting, general thinning of metal, and eventually, leaks or structural failures. This is where dedicated corrosion inhibitors, such as those integrated into our 604 Scale and Corrosion Inhibitor formulation, become essential.

The 604 inhibitor includes specific components designed to protect both carbon steel and copper. For carbon steel, a common approach involves forming a protective film on the metal surface. This film can be a passive oxide layer or an adsorbed organic layer that acts as a barrier, preventing corrosive agents from reaching the metal. The complex blend of organic phosphonic acid and polycarboxylic acid in the 604 formulation contributes to this protective film formation, often synergizing with other dedicated carbon steel corrosion inhibitors. These inhibitors work by adsorbing onto the metal surface, creating a barrier that hinders both anodic dissolution and cathodic reduction reactions.

Copper, while generally more corrosion-resistant than carbon steel, is still vulnerable, particularly to ammonia and sulfide compounds. Corrosion inhibitors for copper often function by forming a complex film that passivates the surface. The inclusion of a specific copper corrosion inhibitor in the 604 product ensures that this crucial metal is also adequately protected. These inhibitors can chelate copper ions or form stable complexes on the copper surface, preventing dissolution and the formation of undesirable corrosion products.

By combining effective scale inhibition with comprehensive corrosion protection for both carbon steel and copper, the 604 Scale and Corrosion Inhibitor offers a holistic solution for industrial water treatment. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing chemical auxiliaries that not only meet but exceed the performance expectations of our clients, ensuring that their valuable assets are well-protected and continue to operate efficiently for years to come.
