Corrosion Inhibition
Dilute, aqueous solution of anionic silica, supplied by Soluble Silicates, inhibit corrosion of metallic surfaces. This function is utilized in a variety of commercial water treatment and related applications:
- As an additive in water, dissolved Si02 prevents corrosion of metal storage tanks and distribution lines.
- Reduces corrosion in pumps and lines by acidic water (from mine drainage, for example)
- Reduces corrosion in ball-and-rod-mill grinding processes.
- As an ingredient in spray-dried, agglomerated or dry-mixed detergent formulations, minimizes corrosion of process equipment; and of metal parts in laundry and dishwashing equipment.
- As an ingredient in “permanent' automotive cooling system fluids.
- As an additive in boiler and cooling tower water treatment compounds.
