Protective film action
Adsorbs onto metal surfaces to reduce attack from corrosive species (program dependent).
Product Specialty Additives
Film-Forming Corrosion Inhibitor
Inhibitor used to reduce corrosion in compatible systems by adsorbing onto metal and forming a protective film— supporting lower corrosion rates, improved reliability, and longer service intervals (program dependent).
Packaging: drums / IBC / bulk (as applicable)
Documentation: SDS / COA / TDS on request
Lead time depends on lane & volume
Grade selection by metallurgy & chemistry
Supports mixed-metal programs (by inquiry)
Program guidance available on offer
Commercial overview
Film-forming corrosion inhibitors (FFCI) are selected when a persistent, adsorbed protective film is desired to mitigate corrosion in compatible water-based or process environments. They are commonly used in closed-loop programs and industrial water systems, where metallurgy, temperature, oxygen ingress, and water chemistry influence performance. We align a grade to your system and provide supply formats suitable for repeat procurement.
System-fit selection
Chosen by metallurgy (CS/SS/copper alloys), pH, chloride/sulfate, and operating temperature.
Procurement-ready
Grade, packaging, and documentation structured for repeat purchasing and lane routing.
Typical use cases
- Closed-loop cooling/heating circuits and utility loops (compatible programs)
- Industrial water systems where film-forming chemistry is suitable
- Protection during storage, hydrotest, layup, or intermittent operation (by inquiry)
- Mixed-metal systems requiring balanced protection (by grade)
Important
Corrosion inhibition is program-dependent. Share system details (metallurgy, water analysis, temperature, flow, oxygen ingress)
so we can align a compatible grade and recommended treatment approach.
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Tell us your process and constraints and we’ll align the right specification.
- Closed-loop corrosion control programs (heating/cooling loops)
- Industrial water systems (compatible programs)
- Protection during storage/processing and layup (by inquiry)
- Hydrotest / commissioning protection (where applicable)
What it helps control (program dependent)
General corrosion
Reduces metal loss by forming a barrier between the metal surface and corrosive environment.
Under-deposit risk
Supports protection in systems where deposits exist (best paired with cleanliness & control).
Intermittent exposure
Useful where wet/dry cycles or oxygen ingress increase corrosion tendency.
Typical specifications & formats
Values depend on grade and customer requirements. Confirm details on quotation.
Type
Film-forming inhibitor package (per inquiry)
Single-component or blended programs available by grade.
Target metals
System-dependent (confirm on offer)
Selected based on metallurgy and compatibility needs.
Format
Liquid (common) / concentrate (by inquiry)
Handling aligned to dosing method and logistics.
Packaging
Drums, IBC, bulk (as applicable)
Documentation

Program note
Film-forming inhibition is typically implemented as part of a broader program (filtration, cleanliness, pH control, oxygen control, biocide where relevant).
