Tolyltriazole (TTA)

The Tolyltriazole is one of the most effective corrosion inhibitors for copper and copper alloy used in various industries. Further positive effects can be seen in protection of steel, gray iron, cadmium and nickel.

Applications:

Cooling water systems / industrial water treatment

Industrial lubricants (e.g. drilling and cutting fluids)

Dishwashing tablets (silver protection)

Metal detergents and polishing

Coolants

VCI papers / metal packaging

Antifogging agent (photo)

Grades available:

Granular/Fine granular/Powder

How does Tolyltriazole work?

As a corrosion inhibitor, Tolytriazole decreases the corrosion rate of metals and alloys. This works by forming a coating, a passivation layer, which prevents access of the corrosive substance to the metal or alloy underneath. This is of particular importance in industries where fluids routinely need to be in continuous contact with metals that require protection. Tolytriazole shows outstanding thermic and oxidative stability and is also resistant to UV light. It does not negatively affect the appearance of the metal it’s applied to. Tolyltriazole can be considered as a non-sensitive item as far as handling storage is concerned. Under proper storage conditions Tolytriazole has a shelf life of 24 months. Tolytriazole is very bright in color so that solutions – either aqueous or in different solvents – are clear and almost colorless.
