ARCOR™ 5596 corrosion inhibitor is superior to typical corrosion inhibitors when used in systems experiencing failure due to cracking. Cracks may be started by corrosion pits, wear spots, mechanically damaged spots such as bends, nicks or improper joint make up. Cracks tend to grow through steel due to a combination of alternating stress, corrosion, and hydrogen embrittlement. ARC5596 corrosion inhibitor slows down crack growth by laying down a tenacious film on the metal. The Aquaness ARC5596 corrosion inhibitor is a liquid, organic, film-forming corrosion inhibitor. Although it is oil soluble, it also has water dispersibility. The components of ARC5596 corrosion inhibitor make it more tolerant of oxygen; however, it is most effective against H2S or CO2 corrosion.
