SANHIBITOR Additives: Rust Inhibitors for Various Metals

SANHIBITOR products are organic rust inhibitors which prevent the generation of rust by forming lubricating films on metal surfaces, and are classified into two types, the water-soluble type (including water dispersible type) and the oil-soluble type. Water-soluble type products can be used for rust prevention of metal surfaces following dilution with water, or for corrosion inhibition of metal parts through their addition in coolant, metal working fluid, etc. Oil-soluble type products are generally added to lubricating oil (engine oil, turbine oil, lubricating oil for sliding surfaces, hydraulic oil, gear oil, etc.), fuel oil (gasoline, gas oil, etc.) or metal working oil (cutting oil, drawing oil, rolling oil, press forming oil, etc.) as rust inhibitors for metal parts.
