Corrosion inhibitors help protect metal surfaces from degradation caused by water, oxygen, and other contaminants. These additives form a protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing rust and corrosion.
These inhibitors are particularly useful in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and industrial cleaners, ensuring metal components remain intact and functional
Common Corrosion Inhibitors in Detergents
• Sodium molybdate – Helps prevent corrosion in industrial and household cleaning products.
• Benzotriazole – Often used to protect copper and brass components.
• Phosphate esters – Provide corrosion resistance while enhancing detergent performance.
