Neutralizing Rust Inhibitor

Neutralizing Rust Inhibitor Acid Neutralizer with Corrosion Protection

A Neutralizing Rust Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical used to neutralize residual acids after cleaning or pickling operations and simultaneously provide temporary corrosion protection to metal surfaces.

It is commonly used after acid descaling, rust removal, or cleaning processes to prevent flash rusting and surface damage.

Typical Composition

• Mild alkaline agents (neutralizers)

• Corrosion inhibitors

• Wetting agents / surfactants

• Water-based carrier

Benefits

• Extends equipment life

• Prevents corrosion damage

• Improves safety of cleaned systems

• Enhances coating adhesion

Applications

• After acid descaling of pipelines & heat exchangers

• Post rust removal treatment

• Marine and offshore maintenance

• Industrial equipment cleaning

• Surface preparation before coating/painting

Dosage

Recommended Usage

Steps:

1. Flush system after acid cleaning

2. Circulate/apply neutralizing inhibitor

3. Allow contact for 10–20 minutes

4. Drain and rinse if required

Precautions

• Ensure complete removal of strong acids before application

• Use PPE during handling

• Do not mix directly with concentrated acids

Notes
