The cathodic reduction of oxygen causes hydroxide ions (OH -) to be produced. Non-oxidising inhibitors act in conjunction with oxygen by catalysing Fe 2+ oxidation using oxygen or by improving the physical impermeability of the γ-FeOOH layer or by a combination of both processes.Įxamples of oxidizing anodic inhibitors :Įxamples of non-oxidising anodic inhibitors : When the reaction rate is sufficiently fast, anodic inhibition is produced through the formation of an effective layer of γ-FeOOH. The oxidising effectiveness of anodic inhibitors is separate from the water’s dissolved oxygen concentration at its surface whereas non-oxidising anodic inhibitors are dependant on the right concentration of oxygen.

Whether it's tool maintenance, protection for automobile parts, or elemental protection for outdoor locks and hinges, rust inhibitors create a protective barrier where you need it most to help prevent rust from forming. Due to the damage rust can cause if left unnoticed or untreated, it is clear that rust and corrosion inhibitors - or anti-rust and anti-corrosion sprays - are essential products for metal maintenance. What are rust inhibitors?ĭesigned to slow down the oxidisation process and corrosion rate that causes damage in metals, rust and corrosion inhibitors provide protective coatings that are impenetrable by the corrosive substances (liquid or gas) that may affect the metal product. Our curated range features specialist products from industry-leading brands, such as Ambersil, CRC Industries, Cortec, Hammerite, Jenolite, Rocol and RS PRO.
