Corrosion
Corrosion is an electro-chemical process that results in the discoloration, pitting, and eventual erosion of a metal surface. Uncontrolled corrosion can result in equipment damage, increased power consumption, scrapped parts, and other economic stresses that can be avoided through the use of proper corrosion preventatives.

A corrosion preventative provides chemical inhibition or a physical barrier to the corrosion process. They normally contain a carrier such as, solvent, oil or water. Various polar additives are used to form a film on the metal surface. The product may also contain wetting agents, oxidation inhibitors, neutralizers, couplers, and additives that aid with water displacement.

Factors in choosing a product include: metal type, desired film type, term of protection, application method, shipping/storage conditions, and subsequent processes and coating.
