The need for corrosion protection
Even pure water alone is corrosive due to its OH–-and H+-ions; as soon as it is brought to higher temperatures, the gases contained in the water (mainly oxygen and carbonic acid) are driven off, which subsequently contributes even more to corrosion.
Corrosion inhibitors counteract the corrosiveness of water in a variety of ways:
- Film formers build up a greasy protective film on the metal surface, which prevents or delays the corrosion process.
- On the other hand, certain components of corrosion protection agents bind the aggressive constituents of the water, such as dissolved oxygen; in addition, they increase the alkalinity of the water, i.e. they help establish an optimal pH range while simultaneously neutralizing the existing aggressive (excess) carbonic acid.
- Phosphates build up an ionic conversion protective layer on the metal surface while simultaneously binding some of the existing hardness.
