A new heavy metal free, a low P-content corrosion inhibitor for evaporative cooling systems based on natural organic acids has been developed: Corrsave® 100 is a proprietary substance produced from the reaction of a natural organic acid with a phosphorous compound. It has an improved biodegradability and is classified as inherent biodegradable. It is low toxic, non-mutagenic and non-irritant to skin or eyes. The corrosion inhibition efficiency, as well as properties important for the application in cooling systems, have been studied thoroughly in lab tests and pilot cooling systems. Since the launch of Corrsave® in 2014, these excellent results have been confirmed by numerous successful applications in the field.
3. Corrosion inhibitors for cooling systems are based on:
• Phosphates, phosphonates or Zinc
• Drawbacks are the low biodegradability, the heavy metal
content and the contribution to eutrophication
• Due to more an more strict legislation regarding P-limits we
see a growing demand for low-P treatments
